Adaptive Friction Compensation for a Novel Two-Axis Differential Microfeed System.

The conventional drive feed system inevitably enters the nonlinear creep region at very low speed. This seriously affects its low-speed performance and tracking accuracy. The new two-axis differential microfeed system (TDMS) can overcome the low-speed crawling and creep phenomenon caused by the inherent characteristics of the traditional electromechanical servo system structure. In this study, the dynamic model of TDMS is first established, and the LuGre friction model is improved according to its motion characteristics. The friction model of the screw nut whole assembly of TDMS is established. On this basis, two nonlinear observers are designed to estimate the internal state of the friction model, and the TDMS adaptive friction compensation controller is designed to estimate the uncertain parameters in TDMS through the parameter adaptive law. The global asymptotic stability of the TDMS controller is proved by Lyapunov theorem. Finally, the experimental verification is carried out by using dSPACE system. The results showed that the proposed TDMS adaptive friction compensation controller has good control accuracy. And it can effectively compensate the friction torque of lead screw nut differential drive. Compared with the application of traditional PID controller in TDMS, the tracking accuracy is improved by an order of magnitude. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
