<p>A head tracking system includes an optical head mounting thereon a focusing lens for generating an optical spot on a disk file. The system retrieves a normalized speed profile including a first section for acceleration and a second section for deceleration based on a seeking stroke. The focusing lens is first moved based on the corrected speed profile, which is obtained by multiplying the deceleration in the normalized speed profile by a correction factor. The optical head is then moved in a feed-back loop so that the lens position error becomes zero which is deviation of the focusing lens relative to a reference position of the optical head. The correction factor is calculated by a maximum lens position error obtained during a previous seeking operation. A high-speed, stable and accurate seeking operation can be obtained even in the case of inclination of the optical head, vibration of the focusing lens or fluctuation of the supply voltage. <IMAGE></p> |
