MECHATRONICS LAB (Room No.: 214)
Lab Overview
The Mechatronics Lab bridges the gap between traditional mechanical engineering and modern automated manufacturing industries. The Laboratory is a vital component in the study of integrated mechanical, electrical, electronic, and computer systems. It provides a hands-on learning environment for students to understand the principles and applications of automation, control systems, sensors, actuators, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). One of the essential areas explored in the lab includes Pneumatic and Electro Pneumatic Actuation Systems, which are widely used in industrial automation.
Key Objectives
- Learn the behavior and use of compressed air for actuation.
- Study components like compressors, actuators, valves, solenoid valves, sensors, relays, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and air treatment units for automated control.
- Learn to combine mechanical, electrical, and control components into one functioning system.
- Learn cylinder sequencing A+B+A-B- both pneumatic and electro pneumatic.
Learning Objectives:
- Opens up paths for advanced careers or education in fields like: Robotics, Control Systems, Industrial Automation and Smart Manufacturing.
- Develop technical and soft skills essential for troubleshooting, system design, process control.
