Product Details
The Mechatronic Sensors Trainer is an innovative sensors teaching solution for use in your mechatronics courses.
The compact device includes a rich suite of distance, motion, environmental, light, force, and touch sensors, allowing your students to not only learn the fundamental workings of these sensors, but also develop key skills in component selection and making design decisions for complex measurement and perception systems. This solution is ideal for teaching undergraduate mechatronics, and is accompanied by comprehensive fundamentals labs, integrated challenges, as well as industry relevant open-ended projects.
With the ability to provide real-time measurements, the Mechatronic Sensors Trainer can be integrated into larger systems or used to enhance the functioning capabilities of other Quanser systems such as the QBot Platform and QCar 2. In addition, this device can also be used to measure and store data asynchronously for offline processing at a later time.
The complete Mechatronics Design Lab features the Sensors Trainer alongside the Mechatronic Actuators Trainer, for a comprehensive and exploratory understanding of hardware interfacing for undergraduate education.
