Mechatronics Hydraulic Test Station

The Master of Science in Mechatronic Systems Engineering (MSMSE) program at Lawrence Technological Institute in Michigan provides engineers with advanced scientific and engineering knowledge in an emerging high technology field – Mechatronic Systems Engineering. In this video, Mark Schmidt, a Lab Technician in the Mechanical Engineering Department details one of the tests required for their undergraduate students, a closed-loop Hydraulic Test Station. Students are expected to assemble the system from scratch, which includes voltage input signals, hydraulic valves, an actuator that has an LVDT displacement transducer, and a data acquisition system.

    Valve actuators are really needed for complex tasks in the high power market.If the load requires accurate positioning, the electric actuators as well as the valve actuators has the advantage among others.That is why,to familiarize yourself in this kind of industrial application , knowing how an automation works is a wisely action and will positively keep us in track.
