The objective of this work was to study the possibility of upgrading the control system of the drum shear mechanism by using neural network PI controllers to improve the efficiency of the sheet-metal cutting process. The developed detailed model of the mechanism, including a dual DC electric drive with three subordinate control loops for the voltage of the thyristor converter, current and speed of the motors, a 6-mass kinematic system with viscoelastic connections as well as a model of the metal cutting process, made it possible to uncover that the interaction of electric drives with the mechanical part leads to significant speed fluctuations during the cutting process, which worsens the quality of the sheet-metal edge. A modified system of current and speed controllers with built-in three-layer fitting neural networks as nonlinear components of proportional-integral channels is proposed. An algorithm for the fast learning of neural controllers using the gradient descent method in each cycle of calculating the controller signal is also proposed. The developed neuro-regulators make it possible to reduce the amplitude of speed fluctuations during the cutting process by four times, ensuring the effective damping of oscillations and reducing the duration of transient processes to 0.1 s.
