Abstract
In many positioning control systems, the completion of the positioning phase must be determined correctly in order to initiate the start of the next task. However, it is not easy because the output may exceed the allowable error bound again. For this problem, we have proposed a method based on a support vector machine (SVM). The effectiveness of the proposed method has been verified by simulation and experiment using a simple plant model, however, it has not been evaluated for actual industrial systems which require severe control performance. In this paper, the proposed method is applied to the positioning control of a galvano scanner, which is the important component of the laser processing systems, and the effectiveness is evaluated by using experimental data.
