This paper deals with the issue of robust position tracking control and energy-saving control for a valve-controlled cylinder system using speed-controlled fixed displacement pump. The whole feedback control system is composed of a pair of interconnected subsystems, that is, valve-controlled cylinder system and load-sensing control system. From experiments it is shown that position tracking control in the load sensing control system can accomplish significant reduction in input energy to pump comparing to a conventional valve-controlled cylinder system, while exhibiting the same position tracking control accuracy.

The load-sensing hydraulic system which was developed to improve energy efficiency of conventional hydraulic systems has its own properties. The instability of system responses, linearity of a servo valve, robustness for variation of external load, and dynamic interference between hydraulic motors are such properties which have much to do with control properties of the system. The load-sensing hydraulic system has instability tendancy because the load-sensing mechanism makes a positive feedback loop between the motor part and the pump part. A flow property of the servo valve can be said to be linear because the flow through the valve has nothing to do with a load pressure and the flow is strictly proportional to a valve opening which is adjusted by a valve command signal. The resultant control property can be said to be robust because the steady-state control performance is independent to the load actuated on the motor shaft. In the case when one pump simultaneously drives more than two hydraulic motors, the pump outlet pressure is determined by a hydraulic motor of the largest load pressure among all of the hydraulic motors, and, thus, the other motors are dominated by the largest load pressure. That is, the other motors can be said to be interfered by the motor of the largest load pressure.

For hydraulic components modularized programming techniques are applied which is expected to be utilized for software development of fluid power system. Through simulation an information of any point in hydraulic circuit can be obtained.

The dynamic characteristics of a load-sensing hydraulic servo system are complex and highly unstable. Another property of the system is that the setting value of pump compensator is closely related to energy efficiency as well as control performance of the system. This necessitates the development of an effective control algorithm which guarantees good control performance, stability and energy efficiency. This paper considers a suboptimal PID control for the velocity control problem of the load-sensing hydraulic servo system. The results of simulations studies and experiments show that the proposed suboptimal controller can produce much better control performance than nonoptimal controllers and give effective energy efficiency.

With the recent development of intelligence and automation technologies for construction machinery, the demand for safety and efficiency of road-cutting operations has continued to increase. In response to this, a double-blade road cutter has been developed that can automatically cut roads. However, a double-blade road cutter has a load difference between the two blades due to the ground and wear conditions of the cutting blades. The difference in load between the two blades distorts the direction of travel of the cutter. In this study, a vision sensor-based driving guide technology was developed to correct the driving path of road cutters. In addition, we developed a load-sensing technology that detects blade loads in real-time and controls driving speed in the event of overload.

In this study, we develop a model of an open center and load-sensing system and for a main control valve to analyze system characteristics and efficiency using SimulationX. In order to analyze the operating characteristics of the pressure and flow of the main control valve of an open center system, a test was performed at each port. The reliability of the model was confirmed by comparing the similarity of the analysis results with the test results before analyzing the operating characteristics of the system. Development of the load sensing main control valve was performed by adding a flow sharing valve and a notched shape to the open center system based on it's the proven reliability. The authors performed the simulation under the same load conditions in order to compare the efficiency of the systems. Additionally, the combined operation performance was investigated by means of analyzing the characteristics of flow distribution under different load conditions.

A load sensing hydraulic system is widely used to military and commercial mobile applications fur its high running efficiency. Although concept and general control schemes are well known, the poor maneuverability of simultaneous multioperation of actuators still remains to be solved. In this paper, a new control algorithm is proposed to prevent the saturation of the system in such operating conditions, in which the total required flowrate of actuators may exceed the pump supply flowrate. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through experiments.

The gate current sensing structure was proposed to more effectively control the regulation of the output voltage when the LDO regulator occurs in an overshoot or undershoot situation. In a typical existing LDO regulator, the regulation voltage changes when the load current changes. However, the operation speed of the pass transistor can be further improved by supplying/discharging the gate terminal current in the pass transistor using a gate current sensing structure. The input voltage of the LDO regulator using the gate current sensing structure is 3.3 V to 4.5 V, the output voltage is 3 V, and the load current has a maximum value of 250 mA. As a result of the simulation, a voltage change value of about 12 mV was confirmed when the load current changed up to 250 mA.

We have developed a part of hydraulic stroke sensing cylinder using magnetic sensor that can detect each position under severe construction fields. In this paper, for evaluating the developed cylinder under various environment condition, thermal control systems and two hydraulic systems to be coupled consist of. The former is composed of an heater case, temperature sensor, and interface circuits which include SCR(silicon controlled rectifier) for the control of the voltage's phase. The latter is composed of an hydraulic cylinder for position control with solenoid valve (ON/OFF motion) and a load cylinder with proportional reducing valve. To obtain the various performance evaluation, it is carried out under high temperature condition in thermal system controlled by using Ziegler-Nichols PID tuning method and artificial disturbances such as impulse or constant force. The results show that the developed cylinder has good performance under the various environment condition.
