Improvement of motion accuracy and energy consumption for industrial feed drive systems using adaptive sliding mode control.

Increasing of consumed energy is the dominating challenge in many industrial fields, especially in computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines. Therefore, reducing even a small amount of the consumed energy can lead to a significant reduction in the world's energy consumption. Control techniques, which are used to manufacture industrial parts using higher controller gains can generally enhance motion accuracy of feed drive systems; however they increase the energy consumption.
