Study on the servo control system of MWEDM

An ultra-precision servo control system for MWEDM (micro wire electrical discharge machining) based on piezoelectric ceramic motor drivers was developed. The servo discharge detection adopts an average voltage detection method, utilizes statistical methods to analyze the measured data, then controls discharge gap and makes the process more stable. The servo feed system based on DSP microprocessors applies a PID controller with incomplete derivation to reduce overshoot to improve machining accuracy, and also adopts adaptive dead-zone inverse compensation to eliminate dead-zone caused by piezoelectric ceramic motions in low servo feed speed. The simulation results show that the methods proposed in this paper can make the system recover its linearity and converge the dead-zone parameters. It is proved that the method proposed is efficient in solving this problem. Cooperating with a micro energy pulse generator, this equipment’s machining accuracy is smaller than ±0.2 micron, and surface roughness Ra is less than 0.1 micron. Punch die and cavity die (micro gear die, module 100 micron, thickness 3.5 millimeter) have been machined independently in two die steel work-pieces. These pieces can mate very well to work, which shows that the servo control system satisfies the need of MWEDM for high precision micro fabrication.

Synchronization control for electro-hydraulic dual-cylinder system based on force/position switching

If the rigidity of a mechanism is stiff enough, the position synchronous error of the two cylinders driving one degree-of-freedom （DOF） of the mechanism may be less than the resolution of position sensors. To handle this synchronization problem this paper proposes a force/position switching scheme, which partitions the two cylinders into a master cylinder and a slave cylinder. The master cylinder is always position tracking controlled by a second-order sliding mode controller and the slave cylinder is integrated with a force tracking controller which is a first order sliding mode controller. When the position tracking error is less than a given value, the slave cylinder switches to be force controlled. Two synchronization control methods are presented based on the switching scheme： the master - master ＋ force/position switching control and the master - slave ＋ force/position switching control. Simulations show that the formance compared with two given proposed synchronization control position-based control methods. methods can get a better per-

Adaptive Robust Tracking Control of Pressure Trajectory Based on Kalman Filter

When adaptive robust control（ARC） strategy based on backstepping design is applied in pneumatic servo control, accurate pressure tracking in motion is especially necessary for both force and position trajectories tracking ofrodless pneumatic cylinders, and therefore an adaptive robust pressure controller is developed in this paper to improve the tracking accuracy of pressure trajectory in the chamber when the pneumatic cylinder is moving. In the proposed adaptive robust pressure controller, off-line fitting of the orifice area and on-line parameter estimation of the flow coefficient are utilized to have improved model compensation, and meanwhile robust feedback and Kalman filter are used to have strong robustness against uncertain nonlinearities, parameter fluctuations and noise. Research results demonstrate that the adaptive robust pressure controller could not only track various pressure trajectories accurately even when the pneumatic cylinder is moving, but also obtain very smooth control input, which indicates the effectiveness of adaptive model compensation. Especially when a step pressure trajectory is tracked under the condition of the movement of a rodless pneumatic cylinder, maximum tracking error of ARC is 4.46 kPa and average tracking error is 0.99 kPa, and steady-state error of ARC could achieve 0.84 kPa, which is very close to the measurement accuracy of pressure transducer.
