摘要:
A method and system for providing plant variation compensation for a microactuator in a dual-stage servomechanism of a disc drive. The method includes performing indirect adaptive filtering to identify plant variation in the microactuator, and tuning a compensator for the microactuator based on the plant variation. The indirect adaptive filtering can be performed using a two-stage process, including a first stage of adaptive modeling for the dual-stage servomechanism and a second stage of generating an indirect mode-reference inverse for the microactuator. A combined process can alternatively be employed. The microactuator can be a piezoelectric microactuator which forms a PZT system. The dual-stage servomechanism also includes a coarse actuator such as a voice coil motor.

A system and method for attenuating the effect of rotational vibration on the positioning of the read/write head in a disc drive. The rotational acceleration of the disc drive body is sensed and applied to an adaptive filter that produces a feedforward signal designed to offset the effects of the rotational vibration. The adaptive filter adjusts its parameters based on the rotational acceleration signal, the position error signal of the servo system, and a transfer function relating the actual position signal to the feedforward signal. The plant estimate of the transfer function relating the actual position signal to the feedforward signal is determined off-line and stored for use by the adaptive filter in adjusting its parameters during operation.

Apparatus suppresses seek-induced vibration in a disc drive. The apparatus is responsive to a selected bang-bang command to provide an operating signal to the actuator, such as a voice coil motor, representing the selected bang-bang command with damped amplitudes of dominant vibration mode frequencies of the selected bang-bang command. One example of the apparatus is a finite impulse response filter having a discrete transfer function of C(1+al1z−l+al2z−l·2+ . . . +alrz−l·r), where C is a constant, al1, al2, . . . alr represent impulse amplitudes at spaced positions within a sample period and z−l·1, z−l·2, . . . z−l·r represent delay components at the respective spaced positions. In a preferred embodiment, the finite impulse response filter employs a pole-zero cancellation technique to damp amplitudes of selected frequencies. The discrete transfer function is derived based on a conjugate pair of poles in an s-domain for each of a plurality of vibration frequencies of s i = - ζ i ω ni + jω ni 1 - ζ i 2 and s i * = - ζ i ω ni - jω n i 1 - ζ i 2 where &zgr;i is the damping ratio and &ohgr;ni is the natural frequency for the i-th mode.

The present invention incorporates an add-on adaptive feedforward controller into the existent track-following servomechanism of a dual-actuator disc drive to suppress the disturbance caused by mechanical interaction of the two actuator assemblies to thereby enhance the positioning accuracy at track following. The control signal fed into the power amplifier of one actuator is also used as the input signal of an adaptive controller in the other one. In an illustrative embodiment, the information is fed into an adaptive LMS filter. The output of the adaptive filter is then used as a feedforward signal to coordinate the head position with the desired track position. By matching the unknown disturbance dynamics with a filtered-x LMS (least mean square) adaptation algorithm, the output of the feedforward controller is able to cancel the disturbance from mechanical interaction, and thereby realizes the necessary fast, accurate head positioning.

An apparatus and method of correcting for written-in repeatable run-out in a disc drive having a servo loop for positioning a head over a rotating disc is provided. The rotating disc has at least one data track and servo information recorded in a plurality of servo fields along the data track. An initial written-in repeatable run-out compensation value for each servo field is computed as a function of a position error signal generated for each servo field during a first revolution of the disc. The initial written-in repeatable run-out compensation value for each servo field is then injected into the servo loop during another revolution of the disc. A compensated position error signal for each servo field is computed as a function of the initial written-in repeatable run-out compensation value for each servo field. A refined written-in repeatable run-out compensation value for each servo field is then computed as a function of the compensated position error signal for each servo field.

The optical mover assembly (256) moves, positions and supports the optical element assembly (28) relative to the optical barrel (25). The first measurement system (258) generates one or more first measurement signals that relate to the relative position between the optical element assembly (28) and the optical barrel (25). The second measurement system (260) generates one or more second measurement signals that relate to the absolute movement of the optical element assembly (28) along the first axis. The control system (24) controls the optical mover assembly (256) utilizing the first measurement signals and the second measurement signals.

In one embodiment, a method provides cable force feedforward control for a counter-mass of a stage with a cable connected to the counter-mass and using the cable force feedforward control to control one or more trim motors to produce a trim motor output force to be applied to the counter-mass, the counter-mass moving in response to a reaction force from movement of the stage. The method comprises measuring a counter-mass position y of the counter-mass in response to forces applied to the counter-mass; measuring a cable force ƒ exerted on the counter-mass by the cable which is connected to the counter-mass; generating a cable force function {circumflex over (ƒ)}(y, {dot over (y)}) of the measured cable force ƒ versus the counter-mass position y; and computing the trim motor output force u as , where w is a weighting function having a value from 0 to 1 and is selected for optimization.
