Abstract
A two-axis micro-lathe was developed in 1996 at the former Mechanical Engineering Laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan, for machining of small pieces as a part of the Micro-factory concept. Each axis is driven by a set of built-in PZT actuators. The work presented here concerns the design and implementation of a reference model control algorithm to improve the motion accuracy of the micro-lathe. The motion control was originally assured by a PI action considering dead zone. The performances of the reference model control were experimentally tested and compared with those obtained with PI control for four common trajectories used in manufacturing machines.
