Chapter 2 Examples

The document provides examples of mechatronic systems including a weighing scale, washing machine, and active vehicle suspension. It describes the traditional mechanical designs of these systems and how they were improved through mechatronic approaches. A weighing scale was enhanced with load cells and electronic sensors/displays for improved range, accuracy, and flexibility. A washing machine uses electronic controls to precisely manage stages like filling, spinning, and draining based on inputs like soil level and desired settings. An active vehicle suspension integrates sensors and electronic controls to dynamically adjust dampers based on road conditions to improve comfort, handling, and safety.
