Automatic Control Laboratory conducts research on two main areas: intelligent machine tools and energy efficient fluid power systems.
We have retrofitted an old 5 axis Deckel Milling machine with PC based controller and with modern servo motor and drive systems. We are developing algorithms for intelligent CNC systems, those includes
- Chatter detection, identification and control
- Process identification
- Milling force estimation
- Milling force control
The research topics for fluid power control includes
- Electro Hydrostatic Actuators
- Digital Hydraulics
