ABSTRACT:
The present servosystem positions a movable member such as an optical head over a rotating disk with a constant velocity and high positional accuracy by utilizing a fast analog feedback loop that is controlled by a slower digital loop. The analog feedback loop locks the speed of the movable member to the speed of the rotating disk in a spiral recording track. The progress of the movable member is constantly monitored with the digital loop. A velocity error of known magnitude and direction is introduced into the system. When the error exceeds a preset limit an error of the known magnitude but of the opposite direction is introduced. The servosystem thus zig-zags about the desired position with small velocity changes to provide a substantially constant velocity system with high positional accuracy.
