Abstract
In a previous paper, the application of a pneumatic gantry robot to contour tracking was examined. A hybrid controller was structured to control the contact force and the tangential velocity, simultaneously. Performance was found to be limited by system lag and Coulomb friction. A neural network (NN) compensator was subsequently developed to counter both effects. Simulation results for straight and curved edge workpieces demonstrated the effectiveness of the NN compensator. This paper validates the results experimentally, highlights the tuning issues associated with an adaptive NN compensator, and confirms the capabilities of a pneumatic gantry robot.
