Textile mechatronics, also known as mechatronics engineering, is an interdisciplinary branch of textile engineering. It involves the integration of mechanical, electronic, and electrical systems in the textile industry.
Textile mechatronics technicians create automated systems for the textile industry. Their work involves mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics, and electrical-electronics.
In the textile industry, mechatronics can be applied to: Designing textile machinery for 3D printing Braiding machines Weaving machines
Skills & tasks possessed by a Textile Mechatronics Technician include:
- select and perform electrical / electronic measurement of single range meter & perform panel wiring using cable, connectors, protective devices and test functionality. - test & service different cells and construct different electrical sub system and measure parameters and install various control wiring system. - construct, verify characteristics of electrical and magnetic circuits and measure power and energy with load. - also execute testing, identify terminal and maintenance of alternator, AC Motors, Transformer and Starters. - plan and prepare earthing insulation. - plan and execute electrical illumination system and detect faults in rectifier and service of different domestic and industrial appliances, soldering and desoldering of various electronic and industrial appliances. - test and verify the input/output characteristics of various analog and power electronic circuits and analyze the circuit functioning. - construct test and verify the input/output characteristics of various analog and power electronic circuits and analyze the circuit functioning. - construct a programme and verify different digital logic circuits and timer circuits using 555 IC’s, simple programme on microprocessor and PLC. - perform basic workshop operation of different manufacturing sections, methods and identify different components. - check different electrical wiring & winding methods of different electrical sub system. - identify different Hydraulic & pneumatic applications in textile machines, different motors, sensors and transducers applications in textile. - identify different components of yarn preparatory machine for its maintenance; Check different components of knitting & weaving machine for its maintenance. - identify different components of Handloom & Power loom Turning for its maintenance. - check different Pneumatic Automation & control In Textile Machines. - simulate electro-pneumatic systems involving pneumatic controls& apply Advanced Automation System in Textile industries.
