SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TUNING POSITIONING MECHANISMS FOR PRINTING APPARATUS

摘要

A method of controlling parameters of a positioning mechanism (30) of a printer (10) comprises calculating a deceleration profile of decaying velocity versus position function by defining the function to represent a specimen motor velocity decay from a maximum velocity to zero velocity over a period during which zero voltage is applied to the specimen motor (60); and moving a load using the positioning mechanism (30) and the calculated deceleration profile between positions and determining parameter values based on an iterative process.
