LINEAR MOTOR COMPRISING AN IMPROVED FUNCTION APPROXIMATOR IN THE CONTROLLING SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a linear motor with a control system for the translator which is provided with a function-approximator for approximating a function related to the movement of the translator for the purpose of determining the control signal. The function-approximator operates in accordance with the "Support Vector Machine" principle. The invention further relates to a method for controlling a translator of a linear motor which is provided with a control system comprising a function-approximator, with the following steps of: a) Approximating a function related to the movement of the components by means of the function-approximator; b) Determining a control signal for the translator on the basis of the function approximated in step a); and c) Applying the "Support Vector Machine" principle in the function-approximator. The invention further describes a control system for applying in this linear motor and a computer program for performing this method.
