Description
Summary:The aim of this paper was to reduce the current spikes in battery-powered saw motors by designing and implementing a sliding mode model-following adaptive controller. The proposed controller reduces overcurrent consumption, improves system energy efficiency, and effectively maximizes battery runtime, especially under high-load conditions. By applying nonlinear compensation techniques, the controller can ensure smooth motor operation, reduce mechanical stress, and prolong tool life. The results showed that this control strategy is particularly suitable for hand tools, where a long battery life is essential for efficient operation.
