Resonance control method to suppress the self and mutual inductances of a 3-phase magnetic navigation system for fast drilling motion of micro helical robots

Abstract

We developed a resonance control method to generate a high-speed rotating magnetic field in a three-phase magnetic navigation system composed of three electromagnets. The proposed resonance control method calculates the amplitudes and phases of voltages, while the capacitances suppressing the self and mutual inductances of the electromagnets to keep the currents and the magnitude of the rotating magnetic field constant, even if the frequency of the rotating magnetic field increases. Finally, we prototyped the three-phase magnetic navigation system and the variable capacitor module to validate the effectiveness of the proposed resonance control method experimentally.
