An active vibration control experiment of planar 3-RRR flexible parallel robots is implemented in this paper. Considering the direct and inverse piezoelectric effect of PZT material, a general motion equation is established. A strain rate feedback controller is designed based on the established general motion equation. Four control schemes are designed in this experiment: three passive flexible links are controlled at the same time, only passive flexible link 1 is controlled, only passive flexible link 2 is controlled, and only passive flexible link 3 is controlled. The experimental results show that only one flexible link controlled scheme  suppresses elastic vibration and cannot suppress the elastic vibration of the other flexible links, whereas when three passive flexible links are controlled at the same time, they are able to effectively suppress the elastic vibration of all of the flexible links. In general, the experiment verifies that a strain rate feedback controller is able to effectively suppress the elastic vibration of the flexible links of plane 3-RRR flexible parallel robots.

General Method

Within robot systems the use of flexible links could solve many issues raised by their rigid counterparts. However, when these flexible links are integrated within systems which include moving parts their main issue lies in the vibrations experienced along their length due to disturbances. Much research effort has been made to solve this issue, with particular attention being paid to the application of piezoelectric patches as actuators within active vibration control (AVC). The study will consist of accurate models of a flexible link and two surface bonded piezoelectric patches, where the link and the piezoelectric patches will be modelled through the use of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory (EBT). The link will be subject to an initial displacement at its free end, and the resulting displacement of this end of the beam is to be controlled using a classic proportional-differential (PD) controller. The voltages to be applied across each of the actuators is to be controlled in accordance with the displacement of the free end of the beam, the actuators will then induce a strain upon the link opposing the movement of the tip. This research outlines this general method, obtains the best location of the piezoelectric patches and the control gains to be used, and proves that the method can be used to attenuate the vibrations experienced by a flexible link.

Active Vibration Isolation

In recent years, many applications in precision engineering require a careful isolation of the instrument from the vibration sources by adopting active vibration isolation system to achieve a very low remaining vibration level, especially for the very low frequency under 10 Hz vibration signals. This paper presents a 3-PUPU dual parallel manipulator for both rough positioning and active vibration isolation in a wide-range workspace based on our previous research experiences in the systematical modeling and study of parallel robots. The manipulator is designed as a kind of macro/micro hybrid robot. Both the kinematics model for macro motion and dynamics model for micro motion are established by using stiffness equation and the Kane’s method, respectively. An active vibration control strategy is described by using the H2 method. Moreover, numerical simulations on the inverse solution for macro motion, workspace, and the active vibration control effects are performed at the end of this paper.

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.

Active Vibration

This paper presents an experimental study on active vibration control of a moving 3-PRR parallel manipulator with three flexible intermediate links, with bonded lead zirconate titanate (PZT) actuators and sensors. Experimental modal tests are conducted to identify structural vibration mode shapes and natural frequencies used. These modal tests provide guidance to design the filter and determine the location of PZT transducers. A PZT actuator controller is developed based on strain rate feedback (SRF) control. A state-space model is formulated with the control input voltage applied to PZT actuators, and output generated from PZT sensors. Then, the design of an optimal active vibration controller is presented based on SRF for the parallel manipulator with flexible links with multiple bonded PZT transducers. Active vibration control experiments are conducted to demonstrate that the proposed active vibration control strategy is effective. Power spectral density (PSD) plots of vibrations illustrate that the structural vibration of flexible links is reduced effectively when the proposed vibration control strategy is employed.

This paper addresses the active vibration control and coupled vibration analysis of a planar parallel manipulator (PPM) with three flexible links. Multiple piezoelectric ceramic transducers are integrated with the flexible links to constitute the smart beam structures, and hence the vibration of the flexible link can be self-sensed and self-controlled. To prevent the spillover phenomena and improve the vibration control efficiency, the independent modal space control combined with an input shaper is developed to suppress both the structural and the residual vibration of the flexible links. The coupled vibration features between rigid and elastic motions and the interaction effects among three flexible links are theoretically analyzed based on the one-pass rigid-flexible dynamic models. Numerical simulation and experiment results show that the vibration of the three flexible links is coupled through the moving platform and the vibration suppression efficiency is getting improved with the number of controlled flexible links increased.
