A fluid pulse smoother is described which receives pulses of fluid to provide a continuous drive for a workpiece. The pulse smoother receives a sequence of periodic fluid pulses, as from a pulse generator, and integrates or spreads each received fluid pulse over the time duration of each pulse. Consequently, a workpiece may receive a driving fluid flow which is continuous but whose rate of flow is substantially equivalent to the rate of fluid flow associated with the fluid pulses. Hence, the pulse smoother provides a fluid control system for converting a sequence of fluid pulses to a continuous fluid flow of a known volume and flow rate for precisely driving a fluid controlled workpiece.
