With the development of optoelectronic information technology, high-performance optical systems require an increasingly higher surface accuracy of optical mirrors. The fast tool servo (FTS) based on the piezoelectric actuator is widely used in the compensation machining of high-precision optical mirrors. However, with the low natural frequency of mechanical structures, hysteresis of the piezoelectric actuators, and phase delay of the control systems, conventional FTS systems face problems such as a low working frequency and a large tracking error. This study presents a method for the design of a high-performance FTS system. First, a flexure hinge servo turret with a high natural frequency was designed through multi-objective optimization and finite element simulations. Subsequently, a composite control algorithm was proposed, targeting the problems of hysteresis and phase delay. The modified Prandtl–Ishlinskii inverse hysteresis model was used to overcome the hysteresis effect and a zero-phase error tracker was designed to reduce the phase error. The experimental results reveal that the tracking error of the designed FTS system was <10% in the full frequency range (0–1000 Hz).
