State of the Art
Deficit:
In this type of design, the power consumption of the control axis and the actuator required for
the motors is currently ignored
Goal:
Creation of a new controller control strategy based on the Riccati equation for the feed axis
Approach:
cascaded position
control loops
Energy-efficient feed axis controller
Design of a multi-criteria controller
Modelling of a feed axis
Model verification
Definition of a test cycle
Results
The control of feed axes is
mostly done with a cascaded
position control loops. The
design of the controllers
focuses on dynamics and
positioning accuracy.

ball screw machine tools servo steerings
Ball screws and friction
Images: HIWIN, DMG, Arburg, TRW, Looser
Applications
In feed axis technology, ball screws are a widespread element for transforming rotary motion into translatory
motion
During the transformation, a friction torque arises
The friction torque results in wear and has a clear influence on the life time of ball screws
An adequate and adaptive lubrication shall optimize balls screw s friction and wear
Adequate and adaptive lubrication can optimize the friction torque of the widespread construction element
balls screw and thereby raise its resource-efficiency due to reduced wear
