This control system allows the blades to operate more efficiently, and prolongs the blade life. It also has an influence on the removal of chips from the blade and maintains a constant strength over the blade. The system can operate in the vertical and horizontal position. A highly advanced and powerful microcontroller PIC18F4455 is programmed to operate with feedback from 4 sensors. Additionally system requires the parametrical data on the shape, the profile and the kind of material to be cut, for adjustment the process of cutting. Feedback control is implemented via a collocated force actuator/rate sensors. The control theory is used to develop controllers, which achieve robust stability.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The advantage of using the microcontroller PIC18F4455 as a control tool for a band saw}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/114966/PDF/AME_2008_131624.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ame.2008.131624}, keywords={cutting process, endless band saw, pump, hydraulic control systems, pulse train}, }
