Abstract:
1. A suspension correction method of adjusting an angle of the suspension by irradiating a laser beam onto a laser beam irradiation area, between a first point and an end point for correcting a pitch angle in a positive direction or a laser beam irradiation area for correcting a pitch angle in a negative direction, based on an arrangement that the suspension is formed in a thin plate shape as a whole, the header is connected to an outrigger from one end of a head mounting portion via a spring, and the outrigger consists of a curve portion reaching both sides of the head mounting portion, and a linear portion that continues from the curve portion, and a boundary is provided in a direction orthogonal with a gimbal longitudinal direction around the spring, a first area is formed at the head mounting side, a second area is formed at the opposite side, the laser beam irradiation area for correcting the pitch angle in a positive direction is set in the first area, and the laser beam irradiation area for correcting the pitch angle in a negative direction is set in the second area, wherein the laser beam is polarized in XY directions with a galvano scanner mirror and is condensed with a long focal length lens.
