  • Position Control of Ultrasonic Motor Based on Loop - Gain Adjustment by Adaptive Algorithm

    In the ultrasonic motors (USM), there are various driving principles such as a standing wave type, a traveling wave type, etc. Among them, the traveling wave type USM is applied in different devices at various situations, because its shape is like DC (direct current) motors. The control performance is reduction because of the dynamic characteristics of USM, which are greatly fluctuate, depending on the influence of nonlinearity via the friction, frictional heat caused by the driving principle, the magnitude of the load and driving conditions. Up to now, various control methods are proposed, and a lot of researches are conducted to control precision positioning, but a simple method to realize the high positioning performance is not proposed yet. In this research, it is offered a two-degrees-of-freedom control method. It introduces a simple adaptive algorithm which holds the loop gain as a constant value, assuming the steady-state gain is decreased as the reduction of the rotational speed of USM. The characteristic of this method is that the control performance can be compensated with only one gain adjustment. Its effectiveness is verified by experiment which uses USM.

  • Development of a laser processing head for the inspection and repair of damages inside of a half-inch pipe

    Komatsu Kazumi, Seki Takeshi, Naganawa Akihiro, Oka Kiyoshi, Nishimura Akihiko

    In recent years, the inspection of pipes is being carried out by using inspection techniques which employ ultrasonic and eddy current testing, endoscope (CCD cameras or optical fiber). Currently, the inspection devices can be performed only a visual check of the pipes. In case of a damage, they cannot be repaired. In such case, the damaged portion has to be excluded or the pipe has to be replaced. The authors develop a laser processing head comprising an optical fiberscope. It is capable of inspection and repair of a pipe with a diameter of 25 mm. The pipes of such size are used in the heat exchanger of a fast breeder reactor. However, pipes with diameters smaller than 25 mm, require a sufficiently small laser processing head that can be inserted into them. The research aims to develop a laser processing head for the inspection and repairing of a pipe with 12 mm diameter. For this purpose, it is used a standing wave type ultrasonic actuator which is orthogonally positioned to the piezoelectric elements. This ultrasonic actuator is developed for implementation in the laser processing head, which is used in inspection and repair of the 12-mm-diameter pipe. In this study, the structure and results of the verification experiments are explained.
