Abstract
An apparatus and method is disclosed for controlling motion of a tape dispensing apparatus or the like in response to both computer change in position signals and proportional and integral tracking error signals to maintain a desired conformal relationship between the tape dispensing apparatus and a contoured surface. The level of responsiveness to computer change in position signals versus tracking error signals is adjustable depending upon the severity of the contour so as to optimize servo tracking where necessary.
