Contouring Error Bounded Control for Biaxial Switched Linear Systems (2404.05404v1)
Abstract: Biaxial motion control systems are used extensively in manufacturing and printing industries. To improve throughput and reduce machine cost, lightweight materials are being proposed in structural components but may result in higher flexibility in the machine links. This flexibility is often position dependent and compromises precision of the end effector of the machine. To address the need for improved contouring accuracy in industrial machines with position-dependent structural flexibility, this paper introduces a novel contouring error-bounded control algorithm for biaxial switched linear systems. The proposed algorithm utilizes model predictive control to guarantee the satisfaction of state, input, and contouring error constraints for any admissible mode switching. In this paper, the switching signal remains unknown to the controller, although information about the minimum time the system is expected to stay in a specific mode is considered to be available. The proposed algorithm has the property of recursive feasibility and ensures the stability of the closed-loop system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by applying it to a high-fidelity simulation of a dual-drive industrial laser machine. The results show that the contouring error is successfully bounded within the given tolerance.
