A kind of sugarcane peeling machine was designed based on motion controller, it can realize the automation of the whole processing of input, peeling and output. The sugarcane feeding and discharging take two sets of agencies. Taking the characteristics of sugarcane into consideration, the elastic sugarcane peeling tool is designed The motion controller was used as the core unit of the control system. Experimental study was carried out, and shows that the design of sugarcane peeling machine is successful with the maximum power of the prototype 1 kW, the maximum diameter 50 mm, the minimum diameter 20 mm. The maximum cutting speed can reach 250 kg/h, which can save about 30% of total quantity of electric charge, and it can ensure the uniformity and consistency of the cane peel.
