A fuzzy model - VS Sewing Machines

Brother sewing machine showroom in chennai - VS Sewing Machines

A fuzzy model reference adaptive controller for regulating the fabric’s tensional forces applied by a robot during the sewing task is developed. The adaptive fuzzy logic controller closes the loop outside the internal scara robot controller. The robot guides a piece of fabric in a conventional industrial sewing machine while its controller maintains a desired constant tensional force applied to the fabric during the sewing process. In each loop, the proposed controller calculates the appropriate robot end-effector displacement. A force sensor mounted on the wrist of the robot manipulator measures the actual force applied to the fabric, and the formulated force error is used in order to adapt the controllers’ parameters. The performance of the controller is investigated experimentally and the results show the effectiveness of the FMRL approach and its wide range of applications.

The robotic sewing system is shown in Fig.1 . A piece of fabric is gripped by a robot manipulator holding the right edge while the opposite left edge of the fabric is moving with unknown velocity by the feed dog mechanism of the sewing machine. During the sewing process the fabric should be kept taut so as to prevent the buckling and ensure qualitative stitches. The desired tensional forces for each fabric are depended on the fabric type and properties [1]. The aim of the presented approach is to develop a flexible controller that could be able to guide a wide range of fabric types without knowing the properties or the model of each fabric.

The force sensor mounted on the wrist of the robot manipulator is used to measure the force applied to the fabric which is the only feedback signal in the outer control loop relative to the internal controller of the robot. The tensile stiffness coefficient of the fabric is non-linear and changes by decreasing the nominal length as the sewing proceeds.

In this paper, an effort to control the tensional force applied to the fabric during the robotized sewing process is presented. An FMRL controller is designed, implemented and evaluated. The application of such a controller in an area with model uncertainties and very noisy signals shows the wide range of this approach. Despite the satisfactory results of the controller, further investigation is needed in order to limit the  oscillations of the controller’s responses. https://vssewingmachine.in/ For future elaboration, a force controller that can determine the position and the velocity of the robot is planned.
