Control and Automation

In the Intelligent Manufacturing Laboratory, various control schemes are being developed and implemented on CNC machines through a PC-based open architecture controller developed in-house. Using this PC-based controller, various control schemes have been implemented, including intelligent control, adaptive force control of endmilling, robust control of a high speed milling machine, multi-axis contouring control, and in-process surface roughness control as well as for other applications.

The following descriptions provide short overviews of projects: 

• Intelligent control

• PC-based Open Architecture Controller

• Adaptive Control of Constant Cutting Force

• Multivariate Adaptive Control for Contouring Accuracy Improvement

• Robust Control of Forces in Milling Processes

• Real-time Surface Roughness Control

• Intelligent Control of Grinding Processes

• High Performance, Robust Control of Multi-axis Positioning Systems

• High Performance, Robust Control of High Speed Motion Drives
