Abstract

Compensations for cross-axis coupling effect and hysteretic nonlinearity of a novel XY piezo-actuated positioning stage are presented in this study. The piezo-actuated stage utilizes a monolithic flexure-based mechanism (FBM) to achieve translations in X- and Y-axes instead of using stacked mechanisms. A hysteresis model with crossover term is proposed to alleviate the cross coupling effect between X- and Y-stages during precision positioning tasks. System identifications using real-coded genetic algorithm (RGA) and clonal selection algorithm (CSA) are compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO). The results show that PSO provides better performance than the others. Therefore, a feedforward controller with cross-axis coupling compensation is studied and the used for the piezo-actuated FBM to enhance the precision of the coarse positioning stage. The experimental results confirm that the proposed controller can achieve precision tracking tasks with submicron precision.
