Abstract
A calibration system includes a moveable arm configured for movement within an optical disc storage system. A disc kicker device includes an actuator and an actuator tip that contacts an optical disc. The disc kicker device is connected to the moveable arm. The calibration system performs a calibration operation to calibrate the actuator at the actuator tip to correct displacement error.

20. A method of calibrating an actuator in an optical disc storage system, the method comprising:
-
actuating a moveable arm in the optical storage system; measuring, by a processor, position of an actuator tip relative to a position sensor; performing, by the processor, a calibration operation to determine a displacement error of the actuator; and correcting displacement error during actuation of the moveable arm position to calibrate the actuator at the actuator tip, wherein the actuator tip contacts an optical disc in the optical storage system.
