Abstract
The objective of this research is to implement a novel parallel control of clamping force and energy-saving in hydraulic injection moulding machines (HIMMs) in order to simultaneously achieve accurate force control response and high energy efficiency. In order to verify the feasibility of the integrated control system and compare energy-saving effects, the clamping force control of HIMMs can be integrated with two different energy-saving control systems or integrated with a conventional hydraulic system without energy-saving control. The overall control system is a coupled two-input two-output system. Therefore, a decoupling fuzzy sliding-mode control (DFSMC) strategy, which can reduce the fuzzy rule numbers and counteract the coupling effects, is developed for the integrated control of HIMMs. The experimental results show the outstanding performance of the parallel control in HIMMs with DFSMC. © Springer-Verlag London Limited 2005.
