Factory-Calibration
Factory calibration is intended to correct errors in the mechanisms and circuits and maintain stable
seek, read or write operation.
(1)
External force adjustment
Even if the actuator stops at a fixed position, disturbing forces such as an FPC force and air
movement caused by disk rotation are exerted. Also, when an instruction that reduces the voice
coil motor current to 0 is issued, a very small offset current flows in the control circuit. Such
disturbing forces are collectively handled, as external forces, by the control circuit. The external
forces depend on the disk type and actuator position. Self-calibration measures and records
external forces on the 128 representative cylinders, from the outermost to innermost cylinder. To
compensate for the effect of the external forces, the offset values that were measured in each
actuator position are applied to the circuit. This provides stable seek operation.
(2)
Servo gain adjustment
The servo control circuit gives stable operation when the gain of the servo loop is constant.
However, servo loop gains vary slightly, depending on each device and cylinder position (outer,
center, and inner cylinders) according to the characteristics of the magnet used in the VCM. To
compensate, the servo gain is measured at representative positions, from the outermost to
innermost, for each device. Measurement is similar to the external force adjustment. Measured
values are stored, as a table, in flash memory. To adjust servo gain, the DSP refers to this table,
and creates a control table for constant loop gain. The DSP stores this table in flash memory.
(3)
Head position correction
When a write head is independent of the corresponding read head and both heads are driven by the
rotary actuator, the heads have different center positions depending on the cylinder position. To
compensate, the read head must be centered when writing. To adjust precisely, the offset value for
each head of each drive must be measured and stored in flash memory. At correction, the DSP
calculates the offset value for the head and cylinder position, and centers the read head when
writing.
(4)
Read/write parameter adjustment
To ensure stable read/write operation, write data modulation and read data demodulation systems
are adjusted to their optimums.
