For eliminating the steady state error, a technique is proposed to design the μ-synthesis outer-loop controller with an integrator. A guideline to select the bandwidth of the Q-filter in the DOB is provided. Simulations using a model of a prototype micro-milling machine indicate that the proposed outer-loop synthesis scheme is superior to the H∞ suboptimal control in disturbance rejection performance and steady state tracking performance.
