Electrohydraulic Synchronizing Servo Control of a Robotic Arm

Abstract

The large robotic arm is usually driven by the electrodraulic synchronizing control system. The electrodraulic synchronizing system is designed with the digital valve to eliminate the effect of the nonlinearities, such as hysteresis, saturation, definite resolution. The working principle of the electrodraulic synchronizing control system is introduced and the mathematical model is established through construction of flow rate equation, continuity equation, force equilibrium equation, etc. To obtain the high accuracy, the PID control is introduced in the system. Simulation analysis shows that the dynamic performance of the synchronizing system is good, and its steady state error is very small. To validate the results, the experimental set-up of the synchronizing system is built. The experiment makes it clear that the control system has high accuracy. The synchronizing system can be applied widely in practice.
