In this paper, we propose an optimum design method for optical pick-up actuators. Using this method, we can design an optimal pick-up actuator having the required tracking/focusing performances. Also, the designed actuator has the small mass, force constant for small size of magnetic circuit and large resistance for reduction of heat generation. Simulation results show that this method can be potentially implemented in all the pick-up actuators.

This paper presents actuating characteristics of an asymmetric high-speed optical pick-up fine actuator that can be installed in a small area such as a notebook personal computer. In the asymmetric actuator four points (mass center, actuation center, supporting point of wire suspension on a bobbin, and optical axis) are not coincident so that the proposed actuator suspension reveals undesirable suspension resonance in the pitch and yaw direction. Lumped parameter dynamic model in each direction is used to investigate the driving characteristics with respect to relative location of the four points. Some of desired design directions toward reducing resonance peaks are suggested by using sensitivity information. In order to avoid undesirable resonance, at least supporting point on the obbin must be located in the middle of the mass and actuation center of the asymmetric pick-up actuator.

There are a lot of roots of errors in a motion of the optical pick-up actuator being one of the most significantcomponents in a CD-ROM drive. Most of the studios recently performed have a tendency to seek for the causes from an actuator itself. This paper presents dynamic characteristics of an actuator affected by the motion of a feeding deck. The feeding system is modeled as a rigid body with eight degree-of-freedom. Using Largrange's equation, we derive linear equations of motion with respect to the rectangular coordinate. We found that the ranges of the natural frequencies of a feeding deck and the actuator are close to each other. The time responses are also computed by the Newmark method and Runge-Kutta method. The result show that it is important effect to consider feeding deck in modeling and designing an optical pick-up.

In this paper, a new modeling of a fine actuator for an optical pick-up has been proposed and multiobjective optimization of the actuator has been performed. The fine actuator is constituted of the bobbin which is supported by wire suspension, the coils which wind around the bobbin, and the magnets which cause the magnetic flux. If current flows in the coils, magnetic force is so produced as to be balanced with spring force of wire, so the bobbin is pisitioned. In this model the transfer function from input voltage to output displacementof bobbin has been obtained so that we can describe this integrated system with electromagnetic and mechanical parts. Wire suspension is regarded as a continuous Euler beam, damper as distributed viscous damping, and bobbin as a rigid body which can move up- and down- ward motion only. According to the model, the high frequency dynamic characteristics of the fine actuator can be known and the effect of damping can be investigated while the conventional second order model cannot. In multiobjective optimization, two objective functions have been chosen to maximize the fundamental frequency and the sensitivity with respect to the input voltage of the actuator so that Pareto's optimal solutions have been obtained using .epsilon.-constraint method. These objective functions will satisfy the trends which will enhance the access speed and reduce the tracking error in the optical pick-up technology of next generation. In the result of optimization, we obtain the designs of the optical pick-up fine actuator which has high speed, high sensitivity and low resonant peak. Furthermore, we offer the relation between two object functions so that the designer can make easy choice.

The sub-resonance modes can be easily excited by the assembling tolerance in the asymmetric type optical pick-up actuators, compared with the symmetric type. In this paper, we propose the novel method for reducing the vibration due to the sub-resonance modes whose amplitude can be decreased by adding the damper and increasing the flexibility of holder PCB. Using the finite element method, the change of mode shapes is investigated as the shape of holder PCB is modified. Experimental results support that the propopsed method reduces remarkably the vibration of sub-resonance modes of the optical pick-up actuator.

A Precise actuator in the pick-up of a DVDR/P(Digital Video Disk Recorder/Player) is required to control position accurately. Therefore, in order to develop a reliable actuator, dynamic characteristics of each part in an actuator should be examined closely. This paper presents systematic design process of an actuator using various analysis methods to confirm fundamental capability and solve performance problems related to dynamic characteristics of an actuator beforehand. Particularly, sensitivity analysis is presented through the program using mass moment of inertia and general equations of rigid body. Through the result of sensitivity analysis, important inferiority causes of actuator are selected and reduced. In the end, dynamic characteristics of manufactured actuators are improved considerably.

'Coil' occupies a much important position in delivering driving force of optical pick-up actuators. Up to now the main stream has been a winding coil type actuator, but actuators using FP-Coil(Fine Pattern Coil) have been considered for the more compacted and simple manufacturing process and have variously spreaded the application fields by product. We have tried to design actuators using PCB-Coil(Printed Circuit Board Coil) which has benefits in terms of price and manufacturing process. Especially this research has two main things those are to reduce the vibration of sub-resonance and to assure the do sensitivity in the performance of asymmetric optical pick-up actuator with PCB-Coil.

In this study, we suggested a slim-type actuator that can be controlled in radial direction for compensating coma aberration in high-capacity optical storage devices. To deal successfully with narrow space in slim-type optical pick-up for notebook pc device, additional yokes for tilting motion are integrated into main yoke of the actuator. And the location of tilting coils is determined for mass-b3lancing effect to achieve optimal configuration for high driving sensitivity. We also suggested new concept of lens holder to guarantee excellent stability of control system by enhancing the gain margin at secondary resonant frequency. The concept was realized by forming damping sections in the lens holder, which prevent vibrational energy from transferring to lens. An exclusive measurement system was newly developed for fast and precise measurement of dynamic characteristics of actuators and utilized for the practical use. We hope to make good use of this system also in time to come.

We propose the re-design method of modal parameters to depress the 2nd resonance peak of the ultra-slim-height optical pick-up actuator. With the addition of tile counter mode near the 2nd resonance frequency, we can achieve the gain margin which is sufficient to meet the system requirement. It would alleviate the burden of the additional filter for a high-speed drive.
