Abstract

Position control is particularly important in systems with pneumatic drives. Many centres around the world are looking for an optimal and effective method especially for rod and rodless pneumatic cylinders. Position control of pneumatic drives is a difficult process due to the compressibility of the working medium, friction occurring in the drive system, stick-slip phenomenon, clearances in the cylinder, sticking of the piston to the cylinder in final positions. The problem is to set and maintain a constant speed of motion, especially in the low speed range, and to precisely stop the piston of the cylinder in intermediate positions between the end positions of the cylinder.

The article presents the theoretical foundations of fuzzy logic controllers and the principles of their design for pneumatic drive systems. A fuzzy control system for an electro-pneumatic servo-drive made of a rodless cylinder controlled by a proportional flow valve has been analysed. An experimental stand for testing designed fuzzy logic controllers and assessing the quality of control has been presented. Experimental tests have been conducted for the implementation of changeover control, tracking control and following up the curvilinear trajectory.
