Precision Control X-Y Table Using Dual Modulus Technique

This paper presents the control X-Y table being the precise movement by point-to-point in the x-y plane. The dual modulus technique is used for our system to control the frequency of pulse supplied to the motors. Such technique is used to stop motor of both axes accurately as the desired target point in the same period. Both motors are stepping motor. To Improve steps per revolution, we employ ministep form to drive motors. In system, personal computer, using parallel port, is used for computing algorithm in open-loop form to control motors. In experiment, our system applies on the X-Y table for drawing to test system performance.
