| description | The current shafting alignment process primarily relies on manual adjustments, resulting in low efficiency and limited precision. This study designs an automatic alignment system for multi-support shafting to improve alignment efficiency and accuracy, advancing the development of intelligent systems. The overall design of the automatic alignment system is proposed, including the establishment of shafting and actuator models. The alignment performance of two control strategies under different shafting deviations is validated through simulations. The results indicate that both the full-state feedback control strategy and the model predictive control strategy can regulate bearing load errors to within 1%. Compared to manual alignment, both strategies demonstrate significantly higher efficiency. The proposed automatic alignment system is feasible and lays a foundation for the development of high-precision shafting alignment systems. |
