Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModel Predictive Approach to Precision Contouring Control for Feed Drive SystemsM.A. El Khalick, N. UchyiamaProblem statement: High precision machining requires high capability of multi-axis feed drive systems to follow specified contour accurately. Although each feed drive axis is controlled independently in many industrial applications such as X-Y tables and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, machining precision is evaluated by error components orthogonal to desired contour curve. Contouring controller design is required for precision machining, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,314 accessesView PDFCite
