Abstract
In this work, the proportional Clegg integrator (PCI), a resetting proportional-integrator (PI) element, is studied with the aim of improving the performance of an industrial motion stage currently controlled by a linear controller. A novel parallel continuous reset (CR) architecture, based on the PI, is presented, along with frequency-based tuning guidelines, similar to linear time-invariant (LTI) loopshaping techniques. Open-loop higher order sinusoidal input describing functions (HOSIDFs) and pseudo-sensitivities computed through analytically derived approximate closed-loop HOSIDFs were effectively applied to predict steady-state performance. The experimental results, obtained on a wire bonding machine, confirmed that resonance-induced vibrations of the machine’s base frame can be suppressed more effectively by adopting a PCI-PID controller compared to the currently used linear controller. The novel structure does not only reduce unwanted excitation of higher order harmonics of the base frame resonance, such as the series CR architecture recently introduced in literature, but also avoids amplification of noise when implemented in practice. With the novel parallel structure, a significant (32%) decrease in the root mean square (rms) of the settling error could be achieved when compared to the linear controller currently used and the series CR reset structure.
