A novel accelerometer based feedback concept for improving machine dynamic performance

Abstract: Small size ultra-precision Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines require high dynamic performance. Flexible frame phenomena can limit the machine dynamic performance, particularly in small size machines. A novel accelerometer based feedback concept for improving machine dynamic performance was developed and realised, a virtual metrology frame. It expends the limited techniques for improving dynamic performance of a small size machine by measuring the flexible frame displacement, and feeding it into the controller. The concept was implemented in a simplified linear motion system, and showed a 12dB reduction in the magnitude of the first resonance in the plant frequency response function. This allowed improving the servo bandwidth by 58% based on a PID controller. A new technique for real-time dynamic displacement measurements using accelerometer was developed. It shows a low sensor noise σ
