چکیده
International Conference on Robotics & Automation Leuven, Belgium May 1998 3-DOF Closed-loop Control for Planar Linear Motors Arthur E. Quaid and Ralph L. Hollis The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University faquaid, [email protected] Abstract Planar linear motors (Sawyer motors) have been used in industry as open-loop stepping motors, but their robustness and versatility has been limited. Using a sensor recently integrated into such a motor, a closed-loop 3-DOF controller has been implemented. The software-based control system consists of a commutator for computing ampli er currents from actuator forces, a force resolution function for solving the redundant actuation and saturation problems, and an observer for producing a velocity estimate, together with a PID controller. Experiments are performed using a 2-axis laser interferometer to show that the controller has sub-micron resolution, 2 m peak-to-peak repeatability, and settling times after trajectories of about 20 ms. Limitations of the PID controller are discussed and ideas for improvements are presented.

متن کاملIntegrated Precision 3-DOF Position Sensor for Planar Linear Motors
Planar linear motors have been shown to be capable of fast accurate 2-DOF motions making them useful for assembly tasks. However, the lack of sensing capability has limited their applications. Previous planar motor sensors have been precise but bulky and sensed only a single direction of motion. We present a small integrated 3-DOF sensor capable of 0.2 m position resolution (1 ) which has been ...
