Abstract:To meet the vibration isolation requirements of ultra-precision machining and measuring instruments, a design method for an active-passive composite vibration isolation platform is proposed. To expand the vibration isolation frequency band and improve the full-band isolation performance, an active-passive composite vibration isolation system is constructed by integrating inertial rate sensors, relative displacement sensors, and vibration isolation actuators on the platform and environmental side based on passive vibration isolation. A novel active composite vibration isolation controller based on relative displacement feedback is developed. This controller configures the dynamic stiffness and damping of the vibration isolation system to solve the problem of vibration amplification near the natural frequency of passive vibration isolation, and further optimizes the performance by combining with the environmental vibration velocity feedforward loop. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces the root mean square value of vibration velocity by 13.5 times, and the vibration power spectra in the low-frequency band (<2Hz), medium-frequency band (2Hz-5Hz), and high-frequency band (5Hz-100Hz) are attenuated to 19.6%, 1.2%, and 6% of those under passive vibration isolation, respectively, effectively meeting the strict requirements of ultra-precision instruments for vibration isolation.
