Slider Position Servo Control of the Double Toggle Mechanical Press Directly Driven by Transverse Flux Machine

A slider position servo control system of the double toggle mechanical press is presented in this paper. The controlled mechanical object is described, and the velocity controller and position controller are designed. A claw pole transverse flux machine is used as the servo motor in the control system for its high torque and low speed characteristics. The results of the slider’s motion curves are obtained, which show that the control system effectively achieves the flexible manufacturing of the press.
