Abstract
The article explores the connection between the theoretical foundations of mechatronics and modern scientific and technological trends, as well as the practical application of acquired knowledge. The main goal of mechatronics as a scientific and technical discipline is the development of new functional modules and systems capable of executing motion functions in intelligent machines. As part of the conducted research, a specialized mechatronic systemөa high-precision, adaptive, and intelligent control-enabled machine for ornament cutting – was developed and implemented. The device is designed to perform functional movements while meeting the demands for flexibility and miniaturization. The methodological basis of the project incorporates principles of automatic control, computer science, mechanics, and microelectronics. The proposed machine serves as a practical realization of the robotic “triad”: sensor – controller – actuator, and stands as an example of interdisciplinary integration in modern mechatronic systems. This development is distinguished by a high degree of versatility and can be adapted to various technological tasks, including the creation of decorative elements, processing of complex contours, and production of personalized items. It confirms the relevance of applying mechatronics in small-scale and customized manufacturing, especially under the conditions of digital transformation of industrial processes. Moreover, this work demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating academic research with engineering practice.
