Angle hybrid control for a two-axis piezo-positioning system and its application

Abstract

The hysteresis characteristics of piezoelectric actuators and the residual vibration in the rapid positioning process will greatly affect the positioning accuracy and speed of a piezo-driven positioning system (PPS). In order to improve the positioning accuracy and to restrain the residual vibration of a two-axis PPS, a hybrid controller is proposed and explored based on a comprehensive model by combining the proposed feedforward linearization, the zero vibration and derivative shaping, and the linear-quadratic Gaussian feedback control for the PPS. The experimental results show that the proposed hybrid control significantly improves the positioning accuracy and suppresses the residual vibration of the PPS. Its application shows that the PPS proposed herein can effectively enhance the astronomical telescope's star tracking and pointing performance.
