Wheel speed sensor it used to compares the speed of the wheel with speed of the engine.

The
sensor is fixed on each wheel. Other than that, cruise control acceleration and deceleration is one
mechatronics application in automobile . This control system controls the speed of a car by adjusting
the throttle position. The throttle valve controls the speed and power of the engine by limiting the
amount of air taken in. In addition,it consists of a mechatronic throttle. Instead of pressing on the
pedal the cruise control actuates the throttle valve by a cable connected to an actuator. The actuator
consists of a small DC motor on throttle valve which controls air into it.The vehicle dynamic control
system  are Yaw rate sensors and a lateral accelerometer. It compares the steering wheel position
with that of the direction of motion.Besides,anti-lock brake system prevents wheels from locking
and skidding by braking hard or when braking on a wet surface. It provides safety for every day
driving by preventing skids and allow the driver to control the steering and electronic stability
control uses sophisticated sensors and car central control system for a safe drive. It uses other safety
and Mechatronics also widey used in factory robots to perform welding, spray painting, assembly
inspection and others.

CNC machine is the best and basic example of application of Mechatronics in manufacturing
automation. Efficient operation of conventional machine tools such as Lathes, milling machines,
drilling machine is dependent on operator skill and training. Also a lot of time is consumed in
workpart setting, tool setting and controlling the process parameters viz. feed, speed, depth of cut.
Thus conventional machining is slow and expensive to meet the challenges of frequently changing
product/part shape and size. CNC means operating a machine tool by a series of coded instructions
consisting of numbers, letters of the alphabets, and symbols which the machine control unit (MCU)
can understand. These instructions are converted into electrical pulses of current which the
machine’s motors and controls follow to carry out machining operations on a workpiece. Numbers,
letters, and symbols are the coded instructions which refer to specific distances, positions, functions
or motions which the machine tool can understand CNC automatically guides the axial movements
of machine tools with the help of computers. The auxiliary operations such as coolant on-off, tool
change, door open close are automated with the help of micro-controllers. Uninterrupted machining
is one of the challenges in front manufacturers to meet the production goals and customer
satisfaction in terms of product quality. Tool wear is a critical factor which affects the productivity of
a machining operation. Complete automation of a machining process realizes when there is a
successful prediction of tool (wear) state during the course of machining operation. Mechatronics
based cutting tool-wear condition monitoring system is an integral part of automated tool rooms
and unmanned factories. These systems predict the tool wear and give alarms to the system
operator to prevent any damage to the machine tool and workpiece

Computer integrated manufacturing (CIM)CIM basically involves the integration of advanced

technologies such as computer aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), computer
numerical control (CNC), robots, automated material handling systems, etc. Today CIM has moved a
step ahead by including and integrating the business improvement activities such as customer
satisfaction, total quality and continuous improvement. These activities are now managed by
computers. Business and marketing teams continuously feed the customer feedback to the design
and production teams by using the networking systems. Based on the customer requirements,
design and manufacturing teams can immediately improve the existing product design or can
develop an entirely new product. Thus, the use of computers and automation technologies made the
manufacturing industry capable to provide rapid response to the changing needs of
customers.Industrial robots are widely used in manufacturing applications

Manufacturing process such as:

 Routing , Drilling , Riveting, Arc welding, Grinding, Flame cutting, Deburring, Spray
painting ,Coating, Sand blasting, Dip coating , Gluing ,Polishing, Heat treatment

Involves development and building of various product such as

 Electrical motors ,Car bodies , Solenoids , Circuit boards and operations like (Bolting ,Riveting
, Spot welding ,Seam welding , Inserting ,Nailing, Fitting, Adhesive bonding, Inspection)

The basic goal of the manufacturing industry is to deliver a high quality product or a system to the
consumer. The product should satisfy the customer's needs, and must be reliable. It is really a
challenge for the manufacturing industry to achieve this significant product- within a short lead
period. This can be achieved by building up the 'quality' right from the design stage of the product;
and by retaining the standards during the 'development stages' before delivery to the market. A
variety of sensors and systems were built which can track output continuously with or without the
operator's assistance. Such technologies include various sensors and data acquisition devices,
machine vision devices, metrology instruments such as coordinate measuring machine (CMM),
optical profilometers, electric calipers, and screw gauges etc. Now days the quality assurance
activities are carried out right from the design stage of the production of the product. Diverse
simulation software based on physics is used to predict product output or the system to be built. All
the components are critically monitored in the manufacture of products such as spacecrafts or
aircraft, using the digital imaging systems during their production.

The vehicle dynamic control system  are Yaw rate sensors and a lateral accelerometer. It compares
the steering wheel position with that of the direction of motion. Besides, anti-lock brake system
prevents wheels from locking and skidding by braking hard or when braking on a wet surface. It
provides safety for every day driving by preventing skids and allow the driver to control the steering
and electronic stability control uses sophisticated sensors and car central control system for a safe
drive. It uses other safety and regulatory devices to correct the problem before getting into an
accident. Besides, mechatronics widely used in aircrafts. Modern aircrafts design with advanced
materials, structures, electronics and control benefit from the concurrent and integrated approach
of to develop improved designs flight simulators, flight control systems, navigation systems, landing
gear mechanism, traveller comfort aids.
