• Inženjerska grafika i mehatronika, Semester 2, position 3

The goal of the course is to equip the student with the knowledge needed to solve a mechatronic problem. That is, to develop the ability to devise a mechatronic solution for a classic mechanical problem. Selection of sensors for a mechatronic solution. That choice must satisfy the given criteria: principle of operation (optical, ultrasonic, magnetic...), dimensionally to fit into the overall solution, sending signals (voltage/current, communication). Drive selection: electric motor (tesla motor, direct current motors, servo motors...); pneumatic cylinder/motor; hydraulic cylinder/motor. And finally, the choice of control body: PC, PLC, microcontroller.

For the student to come up with a conceptual solution for the mechatronic system. To choose the appropriate drive, sensors and finally control.
