Abstract

This contribution is concerned with Master-Slave servo control of very large rotary tables for machine tools, where flexible gears limit the achievable feedback control performance. Rules of thumb are derived for the velocity controller comissioning with optimum damping as well as for adequate stability if the drives are decoupled mechanically. State space control extensions, that are now available for servo axis controllers, can improve the performance significantly but increase the design and commissioning complexity. Based on a simplified mathematical model, efficient commissioning rules are derived. The achievable performance for multidrive servo axes is elucidated by an exemplary milling machine tool rotary table.
