Abstract

Fluidic Muscle produced by Festo Company is the most used and investigated type of pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) actuators which can be characterized such as powerful, dynamic (even 6000 N, 50 m/s2), judder-free and resistant to dirt and dust, therefore these actuators are widely used in industrial environment besides electric motors or hydraulic actuators. One of the most mentioned drawbacks of PAMs is the existence of hysteresis. In this paper two experiments related to hysteresis phenomena of PAMs are described. The goal is to present a precise static force model for the hysteresis loop in the force-contraction (force-relative displacement) curve and a LabVIEW based sliding mode controller for hysteresis independent accurate positioning. Using the approximation algorithm for the force produced by the Fluidic Muscle the correlation coefficient R of nearly 1 and 0,01 mm accuracy in positioning is reached.
