Blu-ray Disc Player

Motivation

This project deals with an design optimization for noise reduction and durability improvement of feed unit inside blu-ray disc player traverse system. In the feed unit, position homing is done by overturning the feed drive rather than using a home sensor for cost reduction, which causes fair amount of unwanted noise. The purpose of this project is to reduce the noise by changing the shape of the feed unit without deteriorating positioning accuracy.
