A well-tuned PID with feedforward is capable of controlling a machine tool without any issues. Sure there are better ways to implement a control, but the results are not going to be significantly different on something as simple as a machine tool. After the academic controls community played arou

The below is exactly true. The problem is that PID is widely used and PID is only "reactive" it can only deal with what has already happened and the time lag is the source of oscillations.In the past, PID was the only control option because we had limited computing power. People are starting
