In this thesis, a noncircular cutting on lathe (NCL) using the signals of tool position and differential motor current is developed. First, an effective neural network is used to learn a weighted combination of the tool position and differential motor current of servosystem achieved from the difference between the motor current under real cutting and that of air cutting. Then a feedforward control based on the learned model is designed to obtain an acceptable tracking result. Although the feedforward control is achieved from the consideration of tool position under the cutting force, its performance cannot be ensured as the system is subjected to uncertainties (e.g., noise, different cutting condition, aging of system component). Under these circumstances, an adaptation in control input generated by a fuzzy sliding-mode control is then synthesized with the previous feedforward control to reduce the cutting error. Thus the proposed control contains two parts: one is feedforward control, the other is fuzzy sliding-mode control. The experimental results of NCL using the proposed control including profile error of finished work piece and surface roughness of finished work piece, are much ameliorated.
