A combined control strategy based on traditional servo control strategies is proposed to solve the dynamic coupling between the light-flexible base and the table
and to overcome the performance deterioration of centrifugal shaker caused by nonlinear factors. A geometry decoupling controller based on the equivalent coupling model is designed to eliminate the dynamic coupling between the light-flexible base and the table. Effects of all nonlinear factors on the system performance are taken into account
and a feedback controller based on robust control and a feed-forward controller based on 2-DOF control are presented to ensure the stability and control accuracy of the system. A load disturbing force compensator is also introduced to counteract the influence of load characteristics variation on system performance. Simulation results show that the bandwidth of the centrifugal shaker is improved to 250 Hz after the feedback and feed-forward adjusting and geometry decoupling
and satisfies the anticipated bandwidth requirement of servo control strategy. When the load disturbing force is compensated
the overshoot and adjustment time of position close-loop in the radical drop section of load characteristics reduce to 50% of that without using compensation
and the close-loop waveform distortion in the random fluctuation section of load characteristics is also improved.
