Mech 54- Mechatronics Systems

This course has MECH-4 as a prerequisite and covers industrial control concepts to a greater depth as well as introducing new topics such as hydraulics. The emphasis of this course is on closed-loop process control and spends significant time on A to D and D to A conversion methods and applications.

Extensive use is made of our custom-designed hydraulic trainers to give students a foundation in the theory and application of hydraulic systems. Computer-based design and simulation of hydraulic systems is also covered.

Furthermore students analyze, test, write PLC code and optimize the performance of individual stations of our multi-station Sun Corporation mechatronics training system. Using industrial-quality components, this system emulates the multiple stations found in an actual manufacturing facility, except on a slightly smaller scale so as to be usable in the classroom.
