Abstract

Pneumatic motors are quite attractive for many applications because of their competitive price, light-weight, easy assembly, safety in hazardous areas as well as other features, such as a good force/weight ratio and operation in exceptionally harsh environments. In contrast to these advantages, pneumatic motors have limited use in applications, particularly those requiring a fast and precise response. These undesirable characteristics are due to the high compressibility of air and from the nonlinearities in pneumatic systems. This paper presents the sliding mode controller based on 3-loop(SMCB3L), which increases the load stiffness to control the rotation angle of a pneumatic motor. The characteristics for the step responses and load disturbances of the proposed controller were compared with the conventional PID controller. The experimental results showed that a properly designed SMCB3L is capable of high positioning accuracy within ${\pm}0.05mm$. Furthermore, the load stiffness of the SMCB3L can be improved 3.5 fold compared to that of PID controllers.

공압모터는 저렴한 가격, 가벼운 무게, 용이한 조립, 중량대비 힘, 위험한 지역에서도 안전한 내부 구조와 더블어 매우 가혹한 환경에서도 작동하기 때문에 여러 분야의 응용에 매우 매력적이다. 이러한 장점에도 불구하고, 공압모터는 빠르고 정확한 응답을 필요로 하는 용도에 있어서 그 사용을 제한하는 여러 가지 바람직하지 않은 특성을 나타낸다. 이러한 바람직하지 않은 특성은 공기의 높은 압축성과 공압모터 구동시스템에 존재하는 비선형성에 기인한다. 본 논문에서는 공압모터의 회전각 제어시 강성을 높이기 위해 3-루프 기반 슬라이딩 모드 제어기를 제안하였으며 계단 응답과 외란 부하에 대한 응답 특성을 기존 PID 제어기와 비교 하였다. 공압모터 위치제어에 적용하여 본 결과 공압모터의 위치제어 정밀도는 ${\pm}0.05mm$ 이내로 제어할 수 있으며 부하에 대한 강성은 기존 PID제어기 보다 3.5배 향상됨을 보였다.
