Super-multi DVD drives are assumed to have the largest market share in the near future because of their high compatibility with all kinds of DVD/CD formats and high recording-reading speed at low cost. In this paper, we present a three-axis actuator used in a super-multi drive with a special magnetic circuit, consisting of symmetric driving coils and permanent magnets with proper placement. At first, the lens holder is optimized with sensitivity method to improve the flexible vibration modes in structure parts. Then, electromagnetic circuits are designed and optimized by Taguchi method and response surface methodology (RSM). Consequently, the final model is fabricated and tested by laser vibrometer system. The results verify the proposed actuator and the integrated design methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
