Editorial Reviews

Review

From reviews for the first edition:   Precision Motion Control nicely integrates a number of important topics in precision motion control. It also comes with a complete set of references for further information. All told, it represents a useful reference and an excellent single source of essential topics related to precision motion control. Applied Mechanics Reviews 55 (2002) B68 – 69 (Reviewer: P.H. Meckl)   …a refreshing and much needed addition to the field of precision engineering. International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control 12 (2002) 621 – 625 (Reviewer: Clarence W. de Silva)

From the Back Cover

Applications of precision engineering, generally defined as manufacturing to tolerances that are better than one part in 105, abound and can be found in various semiconductor processes (e.g., lithography, wafer probing, inspection), co-ordinate measuring machines, precision metrology systems (e.g., scanning probe microscopy), and robot/machine tools to carry out micro-assembly (e.g., micro-electro-mechanical systems) and delicate short-wavelength laser processes. Precision Motion Control (second edition) focuses on enabling technologies for precision engineering - issues of direct importance to be addressed in the overall system design and realization: precision instrumentation and measurement, geometrical calibration and compensation, and motion control. It is a compilation of the most important results and publications from a major project that develops a state-of-the-art, high-speed, ultra-precision robotic system. The second edition has been extensively edited and rewritten throughout with the following particular areas being expanded or added: • piezoelectric actuators; • fine movement control; • gantry-stage control; • interpolation of quadrature encoder signals; • geometrical error modelling for single-, dual- and general-XY-axis stages. By providing detailed experimental verifications of the material developed, a comprehensive and thorough treatment of the subject matter is provided in a manner that is accessible to a broad base of readers, ranging from academics to practitioners.   Praise for the first edition: …a refreshing and much needed addition to the field of precision engineering… well written, readable, and concise yet comprehensive.                                                   International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control …an excellent single source of essential topics related to precision motion control.                                                                                               Applied Mechanics Reviews   Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage the transfer of technology in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reviewed for IEEE Control System Society, December 28, 2001

This review is from: Precision Motion Control: Design and Implementation (Advances in Industrial Control) (Hardcover)

I'm reviewing this book for the IEEE Control System Society. My review will appear in the IEEE Control System Magazine, sometime in 2002. To avoid copy write and review ownership issues with Amazon, I will only make a few short comments about this book:

1) The book is "fair", but not what I expected. I was hoping for more of a practical review of the current industrial state of the art and more about practical and real problems, (the Taiwan subway vibration issue for fabrication for example) This book is more a summary of the research that they have done in their motion control laboratory.

If you are interested in 'research' on motion control, including issues with friction models, auto-tuning, and permanent magnet linear motors for X-Y control platforms, using dSPace controllers and applying radial basis functions to approximate nonlinearities, then this book is for you.

2) The book was published in 2001, but as with most items, it can only cover a limited area and because it is based on research over time, it is already out of date. For example, it doesn't even mention piezoelectric motors (see p. 33 of the Dec. 2001 issue of Sensors magazine).

3) I could have done without the short section about monitoring over the internet via LabView.

4) Had the book included a CDROM with the Matlab/Simulink models used in parts of their simulated analysis, then the book would have been more useful, but I image they don't want to give those developments away for free.

5) I was surprised that the book didn't mention thermal effects or structural rigidity, considering they were taking about control accuracy on the order of 1 micrometer. They did discuss vibration and monitoring and using an adaptive notch filter.

Not a bad book. Some of the results the present were impressive, errors less than 20 micrometers while performing slow sinusoidal trajectories over 10 centimeters. But the research focus is not up my alley. I won't be making space for this book on my bookshelf.
