Dual integrated studies in Mechatronics

The mechatonics course represents an interface between mechanical engineering and electronics. As a mechatronics technician, you program and install mechatronic systems, and work on the latest machines and state-of-the-art robots.


Mechatronics course at KUKA

Mechatronics technicians are encountered at KUKA above all on the large machines and robots. They assemble complex mechatronic systems comprising all kinds of components – electrical, electronic and mechanical. These also include electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic control systems. They manufacture the components themselves.

What is more, the mechatronics technicians look after the associated hardware and software: for example, they program the software for systems and install it.

The dual integrated studies in mechatronics concentrate on the following areas of learning:

  • Machining mechanical parts and linking components
  • Installing and testing hardware and software components
  • Assembling and testing electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic control systems
  • Programming and commissioning mechatronic systems
