Contour error due to the dynamic characteristics of feed system has a great influence on machining accuracy, in high-speed machining. In this paper, a new path precompensation method is proposed using zero phase error tracking control algorithm to improve the contouring accuracy for multiaxis machining with large feed rates. In this method, the outputs are predicted with the identified position-loop models of feed systems, and a contour error calculator is designed to calculate contour error in each sample instance using the predicted output and reference input. In order to compensate the contour error resulting from the dynamic tracking error of feed systems, the contour error vector is decomposed orthogonally and the compensation components for individual axis are calculated using zero phase error tracking control algorithm. Simulations showed that contour errors can be significantly improved with small compensation using the new path precompensation method for linear, circular, and parabola contours. Experimental results showed that the new method can reduce contour error significantly and achieve a better compensation compared with zero phase error tracking control and cross-coupled path pre-compensation.

A method for generating two-dimensional reference trajectories to be followed by a linear second-order system under feedforward/feedback control is proposed. A differential equation is derived which assigns tracking velocity and tangential tracking acceleration as functions of time in such a way to allow high speed motion through an arbitrary smooth curve while guaranteeing the absence of actuator saturation. A method for using preview information for motion along curves with corners is also presented. The results are verified by simulation of a two axis cartesian positioning system under discrete time zero phase error tracking control.

This paper describes a new feedforward algorithm for accurate tracking control of nonminimal phase systems. Accurate feedforward calculation involves a prefilter design using the inverse system model. Nonminimal phase systems cause problems with this prefilter design, because unstable zeros become unstable poles in the inverse model. The zero phase error tracking control algorithm (ZPETC) consists of a substitution scheme, which removes the unstable zeros. This scheme introduces a small gain error, which increases with frequency, but no phase error. This paper investigates additional properties which give more insight into the ZPETC algorithm, and allow to improve it. The improved algorithm is based on the same substitution scheme as ZPETC, but adds additional feedforward terms to compensate for the gain error. These additional terms increase the frequency range for which the overall transfer function has only limited gain error, without introducing phase errors. The additional feedforward terms repeatedly reduce the tracking error proportional to ε2, ε4, ε6, …, where ε is the ZPETC tracking error. The new feedforward algorithm or new substitution scheme is therefore called “extended bandwidth zero phase error tracking control algorithm” (EBZPETC). Experimental results on a one-link flexible robot compares both methods.

A multivariable version of the zero phase error tracking control algorithm is presented for sampled-data systems. The feedforward controller is based on the minimal-order inverse of a square system’s transfer function matrix. It is shown that, apart from phase cancellation, complete input/output decoupling will result from the use of the controller. Using a simulation study, the control algorithm’s performance is demonstrated for a multivariable positioning system.

This paper proposes an approach for minimizing tracking errors in systems with non-minimum phase (NMP) zeros by using filtered basis functions. The output of the tracking controller is represented as a linear combination of basis functions having unknown coefficients. The basis functions are forward filtered using the dynamics of the NMP system and their coefficients selected to minimize the errors in tracking a given trajectory. The control designer is free to choose any suitable set of basis functions but, in this paper, a set of basis functions derived from the widely-used non uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) curve is employed. Analyses and illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in comparison to popular approximate model inversion methods like zero phase error tracking control.

Abstract Zero phase error tracking (ZPET) control has gained popularity as a simple yet effective feedforward control method for tracking time varying desired trajectories by the plant output. In this paper, we will show that the zero-order hold equivalent of continuous time transfer function, i.e. pulse transfer function, naturally has a property to realize zero phase effort tracking. This property is exploited to realize a simple implementation of zero phase error tracking control. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by simulations.

High-speed motorized spindle of NC machine tools is the core component for high speed machining. Production efficiency, machining accuracy, processing quality are greatly improved, and production cost is reduced by high speed machining. The paper describes the common failure modes of high-speed motorized spindle. By the fault tree analysis method, failure modes of motorized spindle are modeled, and the main fault reasons of motorized spindle for NC machine tools are gotten. Qualitative analysis is performed for the fault tree by the mean of the structure function. At the end of this paper, the minimal cut sets which are the main sets of failure modes are all obtained. It has laid a good foundation for further study of quantitative analysis of motorized spindle failure modes.

Several methodologies are proposed for identifying the dynamics of a machine tool feed drive system in the low frequency region. An accurate identification is necessary for the design of a feedforward tracking controller, which achieves unity gain and zero phase shift for the overall system in the relevant frequency band. In machine tools and other mechanical systems, the spectrum of the reference trajectory is composed of low frequency signals. Standard least squares fits are shown to heavily penalize high frequency misfit. Linear models described by the output-error (OE) and Autoregressive Moving Average with eXogenous Input (ARMAX) models display better closeness-of-fit properties at low frequency. Based on the identification, a feedforward compensator is designed using the Zero Phase Error Tracking Controller (ZPETC). The feedforward compensator is experimentally shown to achieve near-perfect tracking and contouring of high-speed trajectories on a machining center X-Y bed.
