Generally optical components are fabricated by grinding, lapping and polishing processes. Those processes take long time to obtain optical high surface quality. In the case of large optical components, the on-machine measurement is strongly recommended because the workpiece is fragile and difficult to set up for fabricating and measuring. This paper is concerned about a swing-arm mechanism which can be used for on-machine measurement of a surface profile with a sensing probe end-effect, and also for grinding or lapping the surface with a corresponding tool. The measuring accuracy and uncertainty using a swing arm type profilometer have been studied. The experimental results show that this method is useful specially in lapping process with the accuracy of $5{\mu}m$. Those inspection data are provided for correcting the residual figuring error in next processes.

Recently, the need for subminiature storage systems has increased with the diversification of portable devices. An actuator for small optical disk drives has to satisfy performance requirements such as higher access speed, lower power consumption, and smaller size. In this paper, we proposed the miniaturized rotary type VCM actuator that had an effective focusing mechanism and secured sufficient bandwidth for small form factor (SFF) optical disk drive (ODD). Initial model was designed by electromagnetic (EM) and structural analyses. Such a model was improved using design of experiments (DOE) procedure based on a Blu-ray disk (BD) 1x specifications.

A polishing machine adopting a new unique structural mechanism has been developed, named as a swing-arm type polishing machine. The mechanism is such that the tool path tracks on a spherical surface, of which the diameter is adjusted by setting up the machine mechanism properly. It has a strong benefit especially for polishing axis-symmetric concave mirror surfaces. The swing-arm type polishing machine with 5-axes has been designed in order to polish a concave mirror surface lip to diameter of 2 meters. The drawings are made using 3D CAD and strain-stress analysis has been done by finite element method. AC servo-motor has been used to move the swing arm and a operating software has been developed using a LapVIEW tool. Result of the test run was satisfactory which convinces the usefulness of the swing-arm type polishing machine.

Recently the trends in information storage devices need small size, mobility, high capacity, and low power consumption etc. To satisfy those, the development of high performance actuator is an important issue. Compared with general linear actuator for optical disk drive, swingarm type rotary actuator is suitable to design in small form factor and has fast access time for random access. Swingarm actuator is designed considering the structural problem and the actuating force of VCM(Voice Coil Motor). The increase of mass caused by optical components makes vibration problems of swing-arm, therefore resonance frequency should be increased and inertia has to be reduced. ANSYS FEM tool is employed in optimizing swingarm. The VCM is designed using 3-D electro-magnetic analysis, and parameters of magnetic circuit are determined to matte large flux density. The large flux density enables to achieve low power consumption. VCM holder is designed to get the mass balance of total actuator and this balance reduces the magnitude of critical mode relative to pivot bearing, It is expected that swingarm type rotary actuator designed by this method is available to variable type of micro optical disk drives.

There are many researches being in process to develop the information storage devices applying to the portable devices recently. Based on this need, the information storage devices have to be satisfied with the fast access time, the robustness of the system, high data transfer rate and lower media price. The total size of the drive must design to adapt the portable devices such as CF II card or PC II card size. This paper proposes the swing arm type actuator to insert the designed actuator in the drive of the CF II size. Hereafter the research will be going on to be suitable to the physical standard and design the focus magnetic circuit newly. The swing arm type actuator including this circuit is designed to have the dynamic characteristic satisfying the mechanical specification as well as the BD 1x. Finally, the adaptability to the portable devices was demonstrated by the finite element analysis and optimization of structural part.

The state of the art for the design of swing ann actuators for optical disc drives is to obtain the high efficient dynamic characteristics, especially for the small size for the mobile information devices, It is affected by the need of consumers who wants the portable digital storage devices maintaining highly functional and removable characteristics of the optical disk drive (ODD). As a necessary consequence, the need of the small form factor (SFF) storage device has been considered as an important part in the information storage technology. In this paper. we suggest a new conceptual miniaturized swing arm type actuator that has high efficient dynamic characteristics as well as satisfies the sensitivity and the heat emission requirements for the SFF-ODD. It also uses a tracking electromagnetic (EM) circuit for a focusing motion. Due to the size constraint, the thermal problem of optical head arises; therefore, we design an efficiently heat emitted structure for the actuator.

Topology optimization is an effective scheme to obtain the initial design concept: however, it is hard to apply in case of non-linear or multi-objective problems. In this study, a modified topology optimization method is proposed to generate a structure of a swing arm type actuator satisfying maximum compliance as well. as maximum stiffness using the multi-objective optimization. approach. The multi-objective function is defined to maximize the compliance in the direction of focusing of the actuator and the second eigen-frequency of the structure. The design of experiments are performed and the response surface functions are formulated to construct the multi-objective function. The weighting factors between conflicting functions are determined by the back-error propagation neural network and the solution of multi-objective function is acquired using the genetic algorithm.

There are many factors to affect polishing performance normally in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process. One of the factors is a pad profile. A pad profile has not been considered as a significant factor. However, a pad profile is easily changed by conditioning process in CMP, and then changed pad profile affects polishing performance. Therefore, understanding how the pad profile is changed by conditioning process is very important. In this paper, through the simulation based on kinematic analysis, the variation of the pad profile was described in accordance with difference condition of conditioning process. A swing-arm type conditioner was applied in this simulation. A swing-arm type conditioner plays a role of generating asperities on pad surface. The conditions of conditioing process to get uniform removal were also investigated by comparing the simulation with the experiment.

The new multimedia information environment requires smaller optical data storage systems. However, one of the difficulties encountered in designing small form factor(SFF) optical pick-up is to emit the heat which is generated from laser diode(LD). Heat generated at the LD can reduce the optical performance of the system and the lifetime of LD. Therefore, it is important to include the thermal design in the design stage of SFF optical pick-up system for high performance and the longer lifetime of LD, and furthermore, to analyze the thermal characteristics of LD in detail micro heat transfer analysis is necessary. In the present study, micro heat transfer analysis was performed using the finite element method for the $28{\times}11{\times}2mm^3$ super slim swing-arm type optical pick-up actuator for Blu-ray disk. Two different materials were used for a swing-arm; a double layer polycarbonate/steel structure and a single aluminum structure.
