In order to improve the working speed and precision of hydraulic punching machine,the hydraulic cylinder was controlled by electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve,and the electro-hydraulic proportional position control system for punching machine was constituted.AMESim and MATLAB/Simulink modules were used for joint simulation,the fuzzy control rules and fuzzy PID controllers were designed,and the position control performance of original system and the system with fuzzy PID control were compared and analyzed.The results show that the system with fuzzy PID control has fast response speed,no overshoot,strong signal tracking ability and good robustness.
