current driver is saturated problem

Hello ,I have built a PID controller which is connected to differential driver by the manuals below.
The PID is single ended while the driver is differential so I connected the two using converter.
The key component is the integrator.
I want that the driver to create a current on the load so It will be following the integrator output signal.
However as you can see that as integrator output rises the driver current saturated as some point .
Is there a way to fix the driver so it wont sature so quickly?
Ltspice files are attached.

Hello Crutschow, worked perfectly as shown below..
Could you please show the mathematical logic behind this intuition,so I could learn the logic behind it?
Thanks.

The voltage gain is determined by the value of R1 as compared to the values of R2 and R8 when R2=R4 and R8=R9, with the gain inversely proportional to the value of R1, (similar to a non-inverting op amp with gain where R1 would go to ground).
But I tend to avoid math, which I find tedious, so am not up to deriving the equation for that. :rolleyes:
