A new contact force estimation technique is proposed. Keeping the contact force at a certain level between finishing tool and the object is essential since the quality of the finished surface is very sensitive to the contact force during the finishing process. However, the contact force measurement cannot be obtained by simply installing load cells under machine table or in the middle of tool linkage. The reason is that the weight of the machine table and the tool linkage are much heavier than the force to be measured. To that end, a method for estimating disturbance is proposed for a system that is similar to the mechanism of the finishing machine, and the same method is applied to estimate the contact force of the brush-type finishing machine. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, a small scale test set-up has been built and the method has been tested.

Two promising control candidates have been selected to test the sinusoidal reference tracking performance for a brush-type polishing machine having strong nonlinearities and disturbances. The controlled target system is an oscillating mechanism consisting of a common positioning stage of one degree-of-freedom with a screw and a ball nut driven by a servo motor those can be obtained commercially. Beside the strong nonlinearity such as stick-slip friction, the periodic contact of the polishing brush and the work piece adds an external disturbance. Selected control candidates are a Sliding Mode Control (SMC) and a variant of a feedback linearization control called Smooth Robust Nonlinear Control (SRNC). A SMC and SRNC are selected since they have good theoretical backgrounds, are suitable to be implemented in a digital environment and show good disturbance and modeling uncertainty rejection performance. It should be also noted that SRNC has a nobel approach in that it uses the position information to compensate the stickslip friction. For both controllers analytical and experimental studies have been conducted to show control design approaches and to compare the performance against the strong nonlinearity and the disturbances.

전기모터는 과학의 발달을 통한 전기제품의 다양성과 동시에 종류도 다양해졌다. 이렇듯 전기모터는 내부의 구조변경에 따라 크게 세 가지로 유도모터, 직류모터, BLDC모터로 나눠진다. 이 중 유도모터는 제작 및 사용성이 좋지만 구조가 간다하여 정밀성을 요구하는 용도에는 부적합하여 선풍기와 제분기에 쓰이고 있다. 이에 직류모터는 정밀제어가 용이하여 서보제어 등 고급응용기술에 사용되고 있으나, 직류모터의 치명적인 단점인 모터 안에 있는 브러시와 정류자의 기계적인 접촉전환을 이용하여 회전력을 유지하기 때문에, 브러시나 정류자가 쉽게 손상되는 문제가 발생하였다. 이런 문제점을 해결한 고성능 제품인 BLDC모터는 RC제품 또는 첨단 의료기기에 장착되는 모터로 고수명, 고정밀도, 저소음을 자랑하고 있으며 산업용 로봇 등에 장착되어 현재 전 세계에 수용시장이 형성되어 있다.
