Fluid-mechatronic drive solutions represent the technological spearhead of drive technology in the fields of factory automation, commercial vehicles and mobile machinery, in the aerospace industry and in a range of special applications, as such drives have an incomparably high power density with maximum dynamics and robustness.
The team of supervisors at the Laboratory for Fluid-Mechatronic Drives and Control Systems aims to offer students who wish to specialise in the development of mechatronic systems and machines a fundamental yet practice-oriented and future-proof training opportunity that spans the entire course.
The laboratory has a total of four fully modular test benches specially designed for teaching at the THWS. Students can familiarise themselves with and examine individual components such as simple fluid reservoirs, actuators and actuating elements on these at the beginning of their studies as part of the basic practicals. Subsequently, in the specialised specialisation, the students will independently set up, commission, control or regulate and measure digitally controlled drive axes on the test benches they are already familiar with.
The software environment of the test benches not only enables the operation and measurement of the drives, but is also used to describe the operating behaviour of the drives with the help of system simulations (1D simulation). This unique opportunity to directly verify simulation results on the basis of real drive data mapped in a software development environment is one of the key success factors for learning success in the field of mechatronic system development.
The necessary technical foundations of fluid-mechatronic drive and control technology as well as for system simulation are laid in the respective modules of the degree programmes with a mechatronic specialisation or orientation.
If you have any questions, need guidance or simply want to find out more, simply come to the laboratory. We are here for you!
