Cross-coupled controllers have been proposed for improving contouring accuracy of multiaxis machine tools. However, during cross-coupled motion control, increasing contour feedrate may result in larger contour errors. In order to increase feedrate and hence productivity without sacrificing the contouring performance, this paper presents an adapative feedrate control strategy based on a linear perturbed model. The method effectively closes the feedback loop between the contour error and feedrate. An experimental biaxial control system is constructed to implement the proposed strategy. Both computer simulation and experiments have verified that desired contouring accuracy can be achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
