ABSTRACT:
A track access control system which is used in a rotating disc device, for positioning a servo head above a desired track by speed control and then position control. A timer starts when the head reaches a predetermined position which is out of a predetermined vicinity of the desired track, and when in the vicinity, the control is switched from the speed control to the position control. After a predetermined time has elapsed after the head reaches the predetermined position, the target speed is increased to push the head. Alternatively, after the predetermined time has elapsed after the head reaches the predetermined position, the control may be immediately switched from the speed control to the position control. In addition, in a return-to-zero operation, intervals between times the servo head passes over different tracks are monitored to detect a real speed of the head, and the target speed during the speed control is controlled according to the detected real speed.
