With a requirement of miniaturization in modern vibrating screens, the vibration synchronization method can no longer meet the process demand, so the controlled synchronization method is introduced in the vibrating screen to achieve zero phase error state and realize the purpose of increasing the amplitude. In this article, the controlled synchronization of a vibrating screen driven by two motors based on improved sliding mode controlling method is investigated. Firstly, according to the theory of mechanical dynamics, the motion state of the vibrating screen is simplified as the electromechanical coupling dynamical model of a vibrating system driven by two inductor motors. And then the synchronization conditions and stability criterion of the vibrating system are derived and numerically analyzed. Based on a master-slave controlling strategy, the controllers of two motors are respectively designed with Super-Twisting sliding mode control (ST-SMC) and backstepping second-order complementary sliding mode control (BSOCSMC), while the uncertainty is estimated by an adaptive radial basis function neural network (ARBFNN). In addition, Lyapunov stability analysis is performed on the two controllers to prove their stability theoretically. Finally, simulation analysis is conducted based on the dynamics model in this paper.
