The use of adaptronic components opens up interesting new possibilities for modern machine tools such as parallel kinematics. In this paper, two active vibration control concepts are designed for an adaptronic component of a parallel kinematic machine tool. The machine tool is modeled as a flexible multibody system model including a nonlinear flatness-based position control. Both the combination of a frequency shaped linear quadratic regulator with an active damping concept in a high authority control/low authority control approach and the H2 optimal control with gain scheduling show a high potential in the simulation to significantly increase the disturbance rejection or the tracking performance of the machine tool.
