Abstract: An automatic ball balancing system for an optical disk reading device has a rotor mechanism that has a concave annular track formed on the rotor, with at least one ball placed on the annular track to perform automatic balancing. A surface with a low friction coefficient is also provided on the annular track in the gravity direction of the balls to reduce the movement resistance between the ball(s) and the annular track. In the meantime, the stable rotation speed of the rotor and the system phase angle of the ball(s) when the rotor reaches a stable rotation speed are also changed. One way of effecting this change is to bond or coat a material with a low friction coefficient on the annular track in the gravity direction of the balls. In this way, the balancing effect of the automatic ball balancing system can be improved.

Abstract: An optical disk adjusting assembly for an optical disk reading device. The optical disk adjusting assembly includes a chassis, a first guide rod, a second guide rod, an adjustable positioning element, a clamping plate, a disk rotating module and a disk reading module. The first guide rod and the second guide rod are respectively disposed on the chassis. The adjustable positioning element constrains one end of the first guide rod and the second guide rod. The clamping plate is secured to the chassis by screws and used to restrain a portion of the adjustable positioning element. Thus, the adjustable positioning element can constrain and adjust the two guide rods efficiently.

Abstract: A method for reducing the stable rotation speed of an automatic ball balancing system is used with an automatic ball balancing system that has a rotor that has an annular track, with at least one ball provided for rotation inside the track. First, an optimum rotation speed ws that is between the unstable critical rotation speed wc of a ball and a working rotation speed w is first determined. In the next step, the rotor is accelerated to the optimum rotation speed ws. Next, the acceleration of the rotor is reduced until the balls are stationary relative to the track, and then the rotor is accelerated to the working rotation speed w.

Abstract: An automatic measurement method for an auto-collimator. When a charge-coupled device catches the image of an object, the program performs image management detection. When the program finds obvious reflective spots in the captured image, the program initiates detection. The method obviates the need for operators to initiate measurement, shortening the measurement procedure and eliminating possible damage due to operator error.
