Abstract
This research develops a procedure to e�ciently measure the multi-input multi-output frequency
response of precision gantry systems. A precision gantry considered here is de�ned
as two axes moving a bridge in tandem with a third axis mounted to the bridge. An e�-
cient method of measuring the frequency response will decrease the total time required for
designing a controller, and higher volumes of gantries can be processed in a set amount of
time.
Sequential, random phase multisine signals are chosen as an excitation signal for the
system identi�cation. A model-guided methodology based on system parameters determines
how many locations at which the frequency response should be measured, as the response
varies with axis location. Guidelines are developed and used to determine that the frequency
response of the gantry base and workpoint can be measured using accelerometers in order to
provide information about system behavior. The frequency response data is processed using
multi-input multi-output techniques to provide a meaningful, straightforward presentation.
The procedure is then structured into an automated program such that minimal user input is
necessary. The result is an automated process that can measure and present the multi-input
multi-output frequency response in a deterministic and repeatable manner. The automated
procedure is also tested and validated on a sample of industrial gantries.
