Harmonic Cancellation: Optimize Periodic Trajectories, Reject Periodic Disturbances

Description

Design Features

  • Optimize periodic trajectories
  • Reject periodic disturbances
  • Fast and easy setup
  • Adaptable to changes in error source

Optimize Periodic Trajectories

Aerotech's Harmonic Cancellation algorithm dramatically reduces positioning errors on systems with periodic trajectory commands. Part of Aerotech's Dynamic Controls Toolbox, it is simple to experience enhanced performance enabled by Harmonic Cancellation.

With Harmonic Cancellation, a set of controller-level algorithms improve performance by reducing tracking error caused by:

  • Sinusoidal reference commands
  • Motor force ripple
  • Other position-dependent disturbances
  • Cross-axis disturbances (such as that created on a linear axis carrying an unbalanced rotational axis)
