摘要:
A system to detect a ramp position is disclosed. The system includes a head positioner coupled to an actuator arm to position a head relative to a disk and a controller to: control the head positioner to move the head toward the ramp; determine a plurality of integrator values while moving the head; generate a threshold based on the plurality of integrator values; and determine the ramp position based on a first integrator value exceeding the threshold.

A servo writer is disclosed operable to write servo sectors on a disk to define non-circular servo tracks. The servo writer comprises control circuitry including a servo control system operable to measure a position of a head over the disk to generate a position signal, generate a position error signal (PES) representing a difference between the position signal and a reference signal, process the PES with a servo compensator to generate a control signal, and position the head over the disk in response to the control signal. A disturbance is induced into the servo control system, and while positioning the head over the disk in response to the control signal, a plurality of servo sectors are written on the disk to define a servo track, wherein the disturbance induced into the servo control system causes the servo track to be non-circular relative to a rotation axis of the disk.
