A Study of Friction Nonlinearity and Compensation for Turntable Servo Systems
Abstract
In view of the worse dynamic performance and steady-state accuracy caused by nonlinear friction in turntable servo systems, challenges are posed in precise positioning tasks. However, most of the existing research ignores the effect of friction on system performance. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze the nonlinear characteristics of the transmission mechanism and study compensation strategies for improving the control quality of non-direct drive turntable servo systems. Therefore, an improved active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) based on state feedback compensation is proposed in this paper to optimize the accuracy of the turntable servo system and improve the robustness of the system under nonlinear friction conditions. Firstly, friction is modeled and analyzed through offline identification, which is the basis for nonlinear friction compensation. Subsequently, the two methods of friction compensation are compared. Since feedforward compensation is prone to under-compensation and over-compensation, it is highly dependent on the parameters, while the traditional ADRC compensation method has poor dynamic performance under gap conditions. Therefore, the advantages of ADRC and state feedback are combined together to reduce the steady-state error and optimize the control performance of the system. Lastly, the effectiveness of the proposed compensation method is verified and compared through simulations and experiments. The method is able to comprehensively compensate the gap and friction nonlinearities, and the experimental steady-state error is reduced from 0.55° to 1/3 (0.19°), which improves the load-side positioning accuracy. Finally, a conclusion can be drawn that the new compensation method can improve the parameter adjustability, speed estimation precision, and system robustness.
