1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上Unit 23 what is “Mechatronics”?“Mechatronics” is a term coined by the Japanese to describe the integration of mechanical and electronic engineering .The concept may seem to be anything but new, since we can look around us and see a myriad of products that utilize both Mechanical and ele

2、ctronic disciplines .Mechatronics , however , specially refers to a multidisciplined, integrated approach to product and manufacturing system design. It represents the next generation of machines, robots, and smart mechanisms necessary for carrying out work in a variety of environments-primarily, fa

3、ctory automation, office automation, and home automation as shown in Fig.23.1. 译文：“机电一体化“是一个有日本人描述机械和电子集成的合成术语。这个概念看上去不再新颖，自从我们能观察四周和看到无数那些利用机械和电子学科的产品。机电一体化，然而，特别是涉及到许多学科，结合方法去生产和制造系统设计。他代表下一代机械，机器人和灵巧机构必须执行工作在各种环境，首要的，工厂自动化，办公自动化，家庭自动化如图23.1所示。 By both implication and application, mechatronics rep

4、resents a new level of integration for advanced manufacturing technology and processes. The intent is to force a multidisciplinary approach to these systems as well as to reemphasize the role of process understanding and control. This mechatronic approach is currently speeding up the already-rapid J

5、apanese process for transforming ideas into products. 译文：通过两个含义和应用，机电一体化代表了一个集成先进制造技术和过程的新水平。目的是将一个多学科的方法用到这些系统以及反复强调过程的作用的理解和控制。这个机械电子的方法目前加快了日本人已经将观念转化到产品的快速进程。 Currently, mechatronics describes the Japanese practice of using fully integrated teams of product designers, manufacturing, purchasing,

6、and marketing personnel acting in concert with each other to design both the product and the manufacturing system. 译文：目前，机电一体化阐述了日本人使用充分结合的队伍的实践，这一队伍包括产品设计者、制造人员、采购人员，他们相互一致行动，既设计产品又设计制造系统。 The Japanese recognized that the future in production innovation would belong to those who learned how to opti

7、mize the marriage between electronic and mechanical systems. They realized, in particular, that the need for this optimization would be most intense in application of advanced manufacturing and production systems where artificial intelligence, expert systems, smart robots, and advanced manufacturing

8、 technology systems would create the next generation of tools to be used in the factory of the future.日本人意识到生产创新的未来会属于那些掌握了怎样使电子和机械系统结合得最优的人。他们认识到在用人工智能，专家系统，灵巧机器和先进制造技术来制造出将来工厂要使用到的新一代工具的制造和生产系统，尤其需要这种机电一体化的结合。From the very beginnings of recorded time, mechanical systems have found their way into e

9、very aspect of our society. Our simplest mechanisms, such as gears, pulleys, springs, and wheels, have provided the basis for our tools. Our electronics technology, on the other hand, is completely twentieth-century, all of it created within the past 75 years.自有时间记录以来，机械系统出现在了我们社会的每一个方向。我们最简单的机构，例如：

10、齿轮、滑轮、弹簧、和轮子，组成了人类工具的基础。在另一方面，我们的电子技术在过去的75年里创造了整个二十世纪。Until now, the electronics were included to enhance mechanical systems performance, but the emphasis remained on the mechanical product. There had never been any master plan on how the integration would be done. In the past, it had been done on

11、a case-by-case basis. More recently, however, because of the overwhelming advances in the world of electronics and its capability to physically simplify mechanical configurations, the technical community began to reassess the marriage between these two disciplines.直到现在，电子产品被用于提高机械系统的性能，而且强调保留在机械产品中。

12、在怎样做一体化方面从来没有总体规划，在过去，它是在一件一件的基础上制作出来的。然而，近年来，由于电子世界重要的先进性和它对机械外形的物理简化能力，技术界开始重新评估这两个学科之间的结合。 The most obvious trend in the direction of mechatronic innovation can be observed in the automobile industry. There was a time when a car was primarily a mechanical marvel with a few electronic appendages.

13、在机电一体化改革方向最明显的趋势可以在汽车行业观察到。曾经有一段时间，汽车主要是一个有几个电子附件组成的机械奇迹。 First came the starter motor, and then the generator, each maiking the original product a bit better than it was before. Then came solid-state electronics, and suddenly the mechanical marvel became an electro-mechanical marvel. Todays macine

14、is controlled by microprocessors, built by robots, and fault-analyzed by a computer connected to its “external ieterface connector”. Automo- tive mechanical engineers are no longer the masters of their creations. 首先是起动机电机，然后是发生器，每个制造的原产品都比以前更好。然后是固体电子学，突然变成了一个电气机械的奇迹。今天的机器是由微处理器控制，建立了机器人，和故障分析的计算机连接

15、到它的“外部接口连接器”。汽车的机械工程师不再是他们的创作大师。 The process that describes the evolution of the automobile is somewhat typical of other products in our society. Electronics has repeatedly improved the performance of mechanical systems, but that innovation has been more by serendipity than by design. And that is th

16、e essence of mechatronics-the preplanned application of, mechanical and electronics technology to create an optimum product. 这个过程,描述了在我们的社会中汽车的进化过程中有些典型的其他产品。电子一再提高机械系统的性能,但是,创新比设计更有可能。这是机电一体化应用的本质，机械和电子技术来创造一个最佳的产品。 A recent U.S. Department of commerce report entitled “JTECH Panel report on Mechatr

17、onics in Japan” compared U.S. and Japanese research and development trends in specific areas of mechatronics technology. Except for a few areas, the technology necessary to accomplish the development of the next generation of systems embodying the principles of mechatronics is fully within the techn

18、ological reach of the Japanese.最近美国商务部的报告题为“JTECH小组报告日本的机电一体化“相比美国和日本在特定领域的机电一体化技术的研究和发展趋势。除了少数地区,开发下一代系统需要创新技术体现机电一体化的原则上是必须在其技术达到的日本的程度 Comparisons were made in three categories: basic research, advanced development,，and product implementation. Except for machine vision and software, Japanese basi

19、c research was comparable to the United States, with the Japanese closing in fast on machine vision system technology. Japanese artificial intelligence research is falling behind, primarily because the Japanese do not consider it an essential ingredient of their future systems, they appear capable o

20、f closing even that gap, if required . In the advanced development and product implementation areas, Japan is equal to or better than the United States, and is continuing to pull ahead at this time .特别是在三个方面:基础研究、先进的开发,和产品实现。除了机器视觉和软件,日本的基本研究与美国的相提并论,日本的机器视觉系统技术开发的较快. .日本的人工智能研究落后,主要是因为日本不考虑这是他们的未来的

21、一个重要组成部分,他们表现出的系统关闭甚至差距,如果需要。在先进的开发和产品实现地区、日本接近或优于美国,将领先在一段时间The Department of Commerce report concluded that Japan is maintaining its position and is in some cases gaining ground over the United States in the application of mechatronics. Their progress in mechatronics is important because it addres

22、ses the very means for the next generation of data-driven advanced design and manufacturing technology. In fact, the Department of Commerce report concludes that this has created a regenerative effect on Japans manufacturing industries.To close the gap, we will need to go much further than creating

23、new tools. If we accept the fact that mechanical systems optimally coupled with electronics components will be the wave of the future, then we must also understand that the ripple effect will be felt all the way back to the university, where we now keep the two disciplines of mechanics and electroni

24、cs separated and allow them to meet only in occasional overview sessions. New curricula must be created for a new hybrid engineer-a mechatronics engineer. Only then can be assured that future generations of product designers and manufacturing engineers will fully seek excellence in these new techniq

25、ues. 商务部报告结束后日本保持它的地位，和在某些情况下美国在机电一体化技术的应用程序中获得地位。他们在机电一体化方面的进展是重要的，因为它涉及的数据驱动的下一代是手段先进的设计和制造技术。事实上，商务部报告的结论造成了对日本制造业再生的影响。 为了减小差距，我们需要进一步研究而不仅仅是制造新的机器，如果我们接受机械系统优化和电子元件将是未来的趋势，那么我们就不得不明白，它在大学中的的连锁反应，大学里，现在我们将机械学科和电子学科分离，而仅仅在偶然的会议上才会碰面，所以作为一个新的复合工程师，必须建立一门课程机电一体化工程师，只有这样，我们才能够确保将来的产品设计师和制造工程师能够利用好这些

26、新技术。 We need to rethink our present-day approach of separating our engineering staffs both from each other and from the production engineers. Living together and communicating individual knowledge will create a new synergistic effect on products. Maximum interaction will be the key to optimum design

27、s and new product development.我们需要重新思考我们今天的做法，我们的工程技术人员都从对方从生产工程师分离。个人知识的共同生活和沟通，将创建一个新的产品协同效应。最大程度的互动将是最佳的设计和新产品开发的关键The definition of mechatronics is much more significant upside down. It will change the way we design and produce the next generation of high technology products. The nation that fully implements the rudiments of mechatronics and vigorously pursues it will lead the word to a new generation of technology innovation with all its profound implications. 机电仪一体化的定义是更加重大颠倒的。它将改变我们设计并且引起高科技产品的下一代的方式。国家，充分实现了机电一体化技术的基本原理和大力追求它将带领这个词对一代新的技术创新具有其深远的影响。 专心-专注-专业
