Description:
Residual vibration suppression of a 3-DOF flexible parallel robot mechanism is implemented in this paper. Considering the direct and inverse piezoelectric effect of PZT (lead zirconium titanate) material, a general motion equation is established which includes an input equation of PZT actuators and an output equation of PZT sensors. A strain and strain rate feedback (SSRF) controller is designed based on the established general motion equation. A numerical simulation is implemented to verify the effectiveness of the SSRF controller in driving the proposed robotic mechanism. The simulation results reveal that the SSRF controller can decrease the elastic vibration displacement of the flexible links rapidly and improve the position accuracy of the moving platform. In the experimental study, one scheme with three passive flexible links is controlled by the SSRF controller at the same time as the performance of the introduced solutions. The experimental results show that the strain and strain rate feedback controller is able to effectively suppress the residual vibration of the 3-DOF flexible parallel robot mechanism. The results of the numerical simulation and experiment are completely consistent.
