Abstract
A method is provided for adjusting to an original predetermined value the natural frequency of the carrier load of a processor controlled stepper motor driving said carrier through a belt and pulley arrangement. The adjustment is performed by having the microprocessor move said carrier back and forth repetitively, at a rate based on the original natural frequency value and by adjusting the belt tension for obtaining maximum amplitude vibrations of the carrier load.
