3-DOF closed-loop control for planar linear motors

Abstract
Planar linear motors (Sawyer motors) have beenused in industry as open-loop stepping motors, buttheir robustness and versatility has been limited. Usinga sensor recently integrated into such a motor, aclosed-loop 3-DOF controller has been implemented.The software-based control system consists of a commutatorfor computing amplifier currents from actuatorforces, a force resolution function for solving the redundantactuation and saturation problems, and an observerfor producing a velocity ...
