A method for adapting a control system governing the swing of an actuator arm to the actual deceleration capacity of an attached servomechanism, comprising: maximally accelerating the actuator arm; measuring the actual acceleration; calculating the ratio between the actual acceleration and nominal acceleration; multiplying an actual distance parameter by the ratio before indexing into a velocity profile to retrieve a target velocity; and multiplying a feedforward signal by the ratio prior to feeding it into a control loop. The apparatus includes a servomechanism that swings the actuator arm; a transducer that produces a signal representing the arm's position; a ROM containing a velocity profile; a microprocessor connected to the transducer and ROM, controlling the velocity of the actuator arm such that it tracks retrieved target velocities by outputting a control signal, and a power amplifier connected to the microprocessor and servomechanism, for receiving the control signal and driving the servomechanism.
