机械产品与电子技术特别是微电子技术相结合,将产生出完全新型的智能机械。这一进程人们称之为“机电一体化”。石油机械工业应密切注意这一发展趋势,采取相应的措施,通过机电一体化促进石油机械生产的发展,以满足现代化的需要。同时,机电一体化也对石油机械教育界提出了一些新课题。 The combination of mechanical products and electronic technology, especially microelectronic technology, will produce completely new type of intelligent machinery. People call this process “Mechatronics.” Petroleum machinery industry should pay close attention to this trend of development and take appropriate measures to promote the development of petroleum machinery production through mechatronics to meet the needs of modernization. At the same time, mechatronics also raised some new topics for the petroleum machinery education sector.
