System modeling and sliding mode control of dual-axis voice coil actuator fast steering mirror
A fast-steering mirror (FSM) is a key instrument in high-precision optical systems. However, the flexible-support FSM driven by a voice coil actuator (VCA) possesses complex coupling characteristics; this leads to a complex system model and severely impacts the control performance. To address this issue, this study proposes a dual-axis integral augmented sliding-mode control method, based on system identification and model reduction. Firstly, an accurate coupled VCA-FSM model is established using the Hankel-matrix system-identification method based on pulse response. Subsequently, based on balanced realization and truncation, the high-order model is reduced, while ensuring model accuracy. Next, an integral augmented sliding-mode controller is designed, adopting a modern control-theory method and using the reduced-order model. A state observer is constructed to create the sliding-mode switching function and control law, and the sign function is improved in the control design to eliminate sliding-mode chattering. Finally, frequency-domain and time-domain performance-testing experiments are conducted on the VCA-FSM servo control-system experimental platform. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed control method significantly improves the control performance of the VCA-FSM servo system, compared to the single-axis sliding-mode and PID control methods. The closed-loop tracking bandwidth is increased by approximately 50.3% and 251.3%, respectively, the disturbance-suppression bandwidth is increased by approximately 39.9% and 451.9%, respectively, the settling time of the step response is reduced by approximately 29.7% and 97.7%, respectively, and the tracking accuracy of the spiral line is improved by approximately 48.5% and 97.8%, respectively. Moreover, the proposed control method controls the decoupling of the VCA-FSM with strong coupling characteristics. The control method proposed in this study greatly improves the control performance of the VCA-FSM.
