In order to reduce the effect of nonlinear friction and time-varying factors on the servo system of a computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool and improve its motion control accuracy, this paper uses an adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) method based on model reference adaptive control (MRAC). The method adopts ASMC in the control outer loop and obtains the optimal control parameters by making the sliding mode control (SMC) law continuous and adaptively estimating the control parameters. At the same time, MRAC is used in the control inner loop to enhance the “invariance” of the controlled object so that the switching gain of SMC can satisfy the disturbance matching condition even under lesser conditions. Simulation and experimental results show that compared with the traditional SMC, the ASMC based on MRAC proposed in this paper effectively reduces the influence of nonlinear friction on the system performance, and the reduction in following error reaches 71.2%, which significantly improves the motion control accuracy of the control system. The spectral analysis of the following errors shows that the maximum magnitude reduction rate of the high-frequency chattering is 89.02%, which significantly reduces the effect of the high-frequency chattering and effectively improves the stability performance of the control system.

Defect detection is crucial for controlling product quality in the process of textile production. However, for existing detection techniques, there are still challenges in identifying different forms of defect and small defects within the same category. To address this issue, we propose a fabric defect detection model called MAS-YOLO. This model is based on YOLOv8n and incorporates several key innovations. First, we designed a multi-branch coordinate attention module to capture direction and position information. Second, we designed an adaptive weighted downsampling module based on grouped convolution, which emphasizes defective features and reduces background interference using weighting features. Finally, we introduced sliding loss to address the imbalance between easy and difficult samples. The experimental results show that the mean average precisions for a customized fabric defect dataset and the AliCloud Tianchi dataset were 96.3% and 51.6%, respectively, that is, 6.9% and 7.8% higher, respectively, than the original YOLOv8n. The detection speeds using the GTX1050ti graphics card and RTX3070ti graphics card are 57.3 frames per second (fps) and 154.3 fps, respectively; this can meet the real-time requirements of defect detection in most industrial sites and provide technical support for the application of lightweight network models in the industry.

In this paper, an online identification and compensation method of nonlinear friction based on radial basis function (RBF) neural network model is proposed for the influence of nonlinear friction on machining accuracy in the low speed process of servo feed system of CNC machine tools. First, a three-layer single-input-output RBF neural network model is established for describing the nonlinear friction of servo feeding system. Second, the neural network online learning algorithm is improved based on adaptive gain, which improves the stability and accuracy of the algorithm. Finally, experiments were carried out on a three-axis milling machine to compensate the friction in the servo feed system in real time based on the online identification results. The results show that the method can effectively improve the online identification accuracy and convergence rate, and effectively improved the low-speed performance of the servo feed system.

Nonlinear friction in the mechanical transmission system of machine tools induces transient stagnation of the feed axis as its velocity crosses zero, thereby giving rise to contouring errors in multi-axis machining and significantly degrading machining accuracy. To address this issue, a feedforward compensation strategy is proposed based on a simplified static friction model (SSFM) with dual-segment and dual-parameter characteristics. The nonlinear friction is represented by a combination of a linear segment and an exponential segment, while the model incorporates two essential parameters that characterize the maximum friction force and the negative damping effect. Experimental results from two-axis circular trajectory tests show that the proposed SSFM reduces contour errors by approximately 73.4% and 79.2% at 600 mm/min and 2100 mm/min, respectively. To improve compensation under high-speed conditions, an acceleration-dependent dynamic correction is further introduced to establish the SDFM. The results show that the maximum contour error is further reduced to 1.44 μm and 1.49 μm at 3600 mm/min and 5000 mm/min, respectively. Compared with many existing reduced-order or hybrid friction models that rely on more parameters or more complex identification procedures, the proposed method provides a more compact and compensation-oriented modeling strategy for the velocity-reversal region of CNC feed systems.
