This paper proposes an application of the switching gain-scheduled control technique to the flexible ball-screw drive servo system with a wide range of operating conditions. The wide operating range is caused by the change of the table position and the workpiece mass during the machining operation, and leads to plant dynamics variations. To achieve high tracking performance of the table position against the dynamics variations and the cutting force disturbance, a set of gain-scheduled controllers is designed so that each controller damps out the resonance of the ball-screw system and increases the closed-loop bandwidth for a local operating range, and tracking performance is guaranteed under the switching between these controllers. Experimental results with a laboratory-scale ball-screw drive setup demonstrate that the switching gain-scheduled controller outperforms the nonswitching one by up to 52% in tracking accuracy.

Abstract Parametric expressions of equivalent stiffnesses of a ball-screw shaft are obtained by derivation of its geometric parameters, the finite element method (FEM), and data fitting based on a modified probability density function of log-normal distribution. A dynamic model of a ball-screw drive that considers effects of bearing stiffnesses, the mass of the nut, and the axial pretension is established based on equivalent stiffnesses of its shaft. With the dynamic model and modal experimental results obtained by Bayesian operational modal analysis (BOMA), installation parameters of the ball-screw drive are identified by a genetic algorithm (GA) with a new comprehensive objective function that considers natural frequencies, mode shapes, and flexibility of the ball-screw drive. The effectiveness of the methodology is experimentally validated.

Abstract For certain combinations of cutter spinning speeds and cutting depths in milling operations, self-excited vibrations or chatter of the milling tool are generated. The chatter deteriorates the surface finish of the workpiece and reduces the useful working life of the tool. In the past, extensive work has been reported on chatter detections based on the tool deflection and sound generated during the milling process, which is costly due to the additional sensor and circuitry required. On the other hand, the manual intervention is necessary to interpret the result. In the present research, online chatter detection based on the current signal applied to the ball screw drive (of the CNC machine) has been proposed and evaluated. There is no additional sensor required. Dynamic equations of the process are improved to simulate vibration behaviors of the milling tool during chatter conditions. The sequence of applied control signals for a particular feed rate is decided based on known physical and control parameters of the ball screw drive. The sequence of the applied control signal to the ball screw drive for a particular feed rate can be easily calculated. Hence, costly experimental data are eliminated. Long short-term memory neural networks are trained to detect the chatter based on the simulated sequence of control currents. The trained networks are then used to detect chatter, which shows 98% of accuracy in experiments.
