The days when mechanical systems and products were strictly mechanical ar
rapidly coming to a close as products continue to become more capable and
more complex. To some degree, these increasingly sophisticated products ar
virtually guaranteed to employ mechatronics. Depending on the product ind
try, mechatronics can be dened in several dierent ways. Generally, mecha-tronics is the integration o electrical and electronic components into mechan
cal enclosures and/or mechanical subassemblies.
Some examples o this denition include multiunction printer/scanner/ax
machines, digital music players, GPS devices, laptop and desktop computers,
digital cameras, cell phones, home appliances, and industrial machines. All
these products include electronic systems that are a synergistic integration a
packaging o electrical and mechanical subsystems. Although mechatronics
typically represented in the consumer electronics industry, it also is employed
across a broader cross-section o industries, including industrial machinery.
A second way o viewing mechatronics is as a subset o the electronics industry, where mechatronics systems are composed o a systematic integration o
mechanical, electrical, electronics, and embedded sotware components. Whe
all these various components are combined, the result is an electromechanic
system. Within this context, mechatronics is characterized by sotware and el
tronics that control electromechanical systems. This denition is best exempl
ed by modern automotive engines and other automotive systems, aerospace
equipment, and complex production machinery.

Mechatronics is also known as a way to achieve an optimal design solution o
an electromechanical product. Key mechatronics ideas are developed during
the interdisciplinary simulation process, which provides the conditions or rais
synergy and the catalytic eect or discovering solutions to complex problem
This synergy arises rom integrating mechanical, electrical, and computer sys
tems with inormation systems in order to design and manuacture mechatro
ics products. Machines that manuacture a wide range o products, rom auto
motive tires to ood processing, are good examples o this method.

Regardless o how mechatronics is dened, all mechatronics products exhibi
perormance characteristics that were once dicultor even impossibleto
achieve without a synergistic approach. The key elements o this synergistic
approach are shown in Figure 1, which illustrates how mechatronics is the
result o applying inormation systems to mechanical, electrical, and compute
systems.
Mechatronics systems are excellent candidates or design process optimizati
due to the high complexity o their designs and their high degree o integrati
among electrical, mechanical, and inormation-processing components. For th
design team, the biggest challenges are how to integrate all o these compo-
nents successully and then choose the right design tools to create complex
mechatronics systems.
t callngs of mcaroncs
A number o critical business issues associated with mechatronics aect the
engineering and design team as well as the management team. These issuesrange rom improving product quality to reducing costs to maintaining sustain
ability; rom complying with the Restriction o Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
directive to shortening the product development cycle with aster time-to-ma
ket. As a result, your design team is under constant pressure to produce mor
complex products that not only top your previous designs, but also outperorm
your competitors productsin less time and at less cost. One o the most
eective ways to reduce costs is by reducing the number o physical prototyp
during the product development cycle. You can achieve this by simply making
digital test and simulation an integral part o the digital design phase.
As mechatronics systems become more complex, the challenges associated
with successully executing them also become more demanding. Greater end
user unctionality and capability, or example, require greater numbers o elec
tronic components, which in turn necessitates denser electronic component
packaging. As electronic component density increases, cooling requirements
also increase. Heat transer becomes more daunting as packages become
denser, thereby causing more heat ailure. During the design phase, denser
packaging becomes a critical system issue due to the interoperability require
ments between electronic CAD (ECAD) and mechanical CAD (MCAD) sotw
applications. Ultimately, this becomes a quality issue that must be addressed

Because mechatronics systems are becoming more complex and unctionalit
demands are increasing, designers are oten replacing or supplementing har
ware with sotware and rmware. One benet o transitioning rom hardware
sotware is called postponement, or the ability to include major unctionality
eatures during the nal stages o production, as a result o the embedded so
ware system.
Another critical issue is the sae disposal o hazardous materials that are gen
erated when electronic products are produced or retired. I treated properly,
electronic waste can be a valuable source or secondary raw materials; i not
handled correctly, however, it can become a major source o toxins. This is
becoming a ast-growing global problem due to rapid technology change, low
initial cost, and even planned obsolescence. Although technical solutions are
available, in most cases a legal ramework, a collection system, logistics, and
other services must be implemented beore a technical solution can be applie
During the 1990s, some European countries banned the disposal o elec-
tronic waste in landlls, which in turn created an e-waste processing indu
try throughout Europe. Early in 2003, the European Union (EU) presented
the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Restriction o
Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directives. Since then, the EU, Japan, Sou
Korea, and Taiwan have demanded that sellers and manuacturers o elec
tronics be responsible or recycling 75 percent o these products. Many
Asian countries have legislated, or are about to legislate, or electronic
waste recycling.
In the United States, Congress is considering a number o electronic waste b
including the National Computer Recycling Act. In the meantime, several stat
have passed their own laws regarding electronic waste management. Graduathis ongoing problem is receiving deserved attention worldwide.

Because mechatronics systems must integrate many dierent types o physi
cal and digital rmware, processes, and personnel to create a successul end
product, they present major design and production challenges. Designing and
producing a mechatronics system requires a well-orchestrated eort by many
people across a wide variety o job roles and unctionsrom industrial desigto PCB layout to control logic design to production planning.
Although mechatronics systems dier, they all share six basic process
elements that take an idea through design to production and ultimately into
the marketplace.
1) Defining Preliminary Costs and Performance Specifications
Beore any product is designed, several criteria must be established, includ-
ing market easibility. This ensures that the proposed product ullls a genuin
need. Once easibility and need are determined to be worth the risk o produ
design and marketing, the anticipated preliminary costs and proposed protmargin are dened.
When upper management is satised with the products potential nancial su
cess, the unctionality and perormance specications are dened, along with
the unctional system requirements. Going orward, this will serve as a genera
blueprint or all unctional levels. To assure that the unctional requirements
are met during this phase, the components and materials are specied, and t
manuacturing processes are then dened.
2) Optimizing Packaging Design via Modeling and Simulation
The principles and challenges o mechatronics are rst encountered in the
packaging design phase. By using digital modeling and simulation techniques
up ront, you can minimize the cost and time required to produce the nal phy
cal end product.
At this stage, a diverse group o design proessionals works cohesively as a c
laborative team in their respective disciplines. These areas may include indus
trial design (conceptual and aesthetics); mechanical engineering (conceptua
unctional, and manuacturing considerations); interaction design (sotware-
hardware control interace); and electrical/electronic engineering (unctional
power requirements, and insulation/shielding).
Simultaneously, a preliminary printed circuit board (PCB) layout and a rough
3D mechanical CAD model are generated, with the major components and
interconnections dened. To reduce costs, all collaborative team members
must constantly check the availability o standardized 3D components.
By using digital modeling and simu-
lation techniques up ront, you canminimize the cost and time required
to produce the inal physical endproduct.

Historically, this stage has encountered problems due to a lack o interopera
ity between ECAD and MCAD, which oten results in the duplication o eort
Using digital modeling and simulation rom the outset, however, can enhance
both intererence detection and the routing between the various mechanical
and electrical subsystems. In the packaging design phase, design optimizatio
are perormed or all componentsincluding mechanical, electrical, electronic
and sotware.
3) Refining the PCB Layout
Initially, the PCB layout is constrained by mechanical considerations related t
the Intermediate Data Format (IDF). In 1992, IDF was developed as a neutra
ormat or exchanging PCA (printed circuit assembly) inormation between P
layout design (ECAD) systems and mechanical CAD systems; since then, IDF
has continually evolved. An IDF le is actually two les: the rst le contains
inormation about the physical characteristics o the PCB, while the second
holds data on the size and shape o each PCB component.
Once the ground rules have been established with an ECAD system, a pre-
liminary circuit trace layout is created that indicates the keep out areas, as
well as the locations or plated and nonplated holes or component placemen
Electrical and electronic design optimizations are perormed to conrm com-
ponent selection and placement, circuit traces or power and ground conside
ations, and general circuit logic. Ater one or more iterations, a rened layout
with components is transerred back via IDF to the mechanical engineers, so
they can check against the preliminary packaging design or proper t.
While MCAD sotware is getting easier to use, ECAD sotware ironically is
becoming harder to use. Due to the rapid changes occurring in the semicon-
ductor industry, it is also becoming more specialized.
4) Saving Time and Money via Digital Prototypes
The digital modeling and simulation that occur during the prototyping stage p
vide many major benets. Since digital prototypes greatly reduce the number
physical prototypes, they generate savings in both time and costs.
Ater determining and conrming as much inormation as possible through
digital modeling and simulation, a physical, unctional breadboard model is
built. The design team can create a prototype o an electronic circuit and th
experiment with circuit designs. A modern breadboard consists o a perora
ed block o plastic with spring clips located under the perorations. Integratcircuits (ICs) in dual inline packages (DIPs) can be inserted into these pero
rations. To complete the circuit topology, you can insert interconnecting wir
and discrete component leads rom capacitors, resistors, or inductors into t
remaining ree holes.
Since digital prototypes greatly
reduce the number o physicalprototypes, they generate savingsin both time and costs.

The combined breadboard and mechanical packaging design now becomes
a working prototype that can be scrutinized by a number o parties, including
technical, marketing, and manuacturing. Regardless o whether digital or phy
cal prototyping techniques are used, the prototypes are reiterated to rene thinitial concept and prepare it or the nal design stage and manuacture.
5) Finalizing the Packaging Design
This last stage includes nalizing and documenting the mechanical and elect
cal design. Although the primary vendors or various product components and
manuacturing processes have been in place or some time, second sourcing
will minimize or eliminate the fow o components, especially the most crucial
ones. Final product cost and perormance analyses are perormed to ensure
that regulatory requirements will be met or all aspects o the product design
and production. Previous to declaring the design nal and reezing it beore
release to manuacturing, nal design optimizations must also be perormed.
6) Releasing the Design to Manufacturing
Prior to releasing the product design to manuacturing, drawings and ormal
specications or all aspects o the mechanical and electrical and electronic
subsystems are required, in order to produce the rst abricated article.
Because design changes or optimizing product unctionality can be made up
the last minute, embedded sotware is deployed.
Once the rst article has been veried and validated, all drawings are nalize
and released to the manuacturing vendors. Final tooling is built, production
machines are programmed, quality assurance is put in place, and sustained
production can begin.
For comprehensive liecycle optimization, however, production is only an
interim step. New issues, such as product retirement and recycling, can arise
Thereore, product liecycle optimization brings product development ull circ

In the past, simulating the perormance o a machine that contained both
mechanical and electrical components was a difcult and time-consuming
sequential process that required highly skilled specialists. Today, mechatron
design tools rom National Instruments and SolidWorks are bringing togethe
the electrical and mechanical worlds to simpliy simulation and subsequent
design. Beore a single physical part is even ordered, electromechanical simution can bring a digital machine to lie. When the design is transitioned rom
prototyping to production, the same sotware that was used or simulating th
machine is reused and implemented in the fnal product.
As machine builders implement new technology and replace yesterdays gea
cams, and shats with servo actuators or precision motion, sensors or diagn
tics, and cameras or inspection, they are embedding more electronics uncti
alityas opposed to mechanical componentsin the machines controls.
What was once purely mechanical is now electromechanical, adding an extra
dimension o complexity to the design process. To achieve efcient machine
design, engineers need to simulate the integrated mechanical and controldesign in sotware beore moving to the prototype and production stages.

With SolidWorks sotware, you can design machine parts and assemblies using
amiliar interace with 3D visualization. SolidWorks Motion, an integrated eatur
utilizes mechanism dynamics to help simulate mechanism motion.
While SolidWorks Motion is well suited or open-loop motion simulations, a typi
cal electromechanical system involves closed-loop control. For a true closed-loo
simulation, engineers must simulate not only the dynamics o a mechanism, but
also the controls that act on that mechanism in synchronization. LabVIEW grapcal system design sotware is used to design the control system or machines.
The LabVIEW interace or SolidWorks/SolidWorks Motion provides an interac
between these two environments, so you can simulate integrated control o com
plex electromechanical systems. With integration between mechanical and con
development environments, designers can help drive better design decisions o
both the mechanical and control aspects o a design earlier in the product dev
opment cycle.
