Improving the noise robustness of reset controllers with an observer

The performance of linear control is limited by the waterbed effect, while the performance demands of industry are continuously increasing. Using non-linear control in the future is therefore unavoidable. Being non-linear, reset control is able to achieve better performance than linear control. However, the lack of robustness to measurement...

Tuning of the ‘Constant in gain Lead in phase’ Element for Mass-like Systems

The development of the high-tech industry has pushed the requirements of motion applications to extremes regarding precision, speed and robustness. A clear example is given by the wafer and reticle stages that require rigorous demands like robust nanometer precision and high-speed motion profiles to ensure product quality and production...
