Abstract:
In this paper, the development of a fuzzy controller that compensates for nonlinear friction in a linear motion stage is presented. The experimental work and instrumentation set up is presented for this research. Based upon a nonlinear friction model, friction parameters were estimated from experimental results. Simulation and experimental validation on a ball-screw mechanism is presented, showing the effectiveness of the proposed controller. Furthermore, it is shown that the proposed fuzzy control scheme offers several implementation advantages such as smaller control effort, and reduced effect of measurement noise. Moreover, the fuzzy logic methodology displays superior performance when compared to a conventional PID controller. It also shows good and robust tracking with respect to system parameters variation.
