Patent ID: 7295894

Claim:
A method for initializing an adjusting device, which comprises a power-activated actuating element, a control unit with at least one electronic storage medium and a drive unit, whereby an adjusting force generated by the drive unit is controlled/regulated by the control unit as a function of adjusting force comparison values stored in the storage medium, comprising the steps of: enabling the adjusting device by the control unit to run through a predefined number of adjusting cycles within an initialization process, measuring a plurality of adjusting force values by the control unit at assigned actuating element positions along an adjusting path within individual adiusting cycles and storing the plurality of adjusting force values in the storage medium and determining adjusting force comparison values for assigned actuating element positions from a plurality of adjusting force values within the initialization process and storing the adjusting force comparison values in the storage medium wherein the number of adjusting cycles to be run through within the initialization process is predefined by a target value, to which it is decremented or incremented in defined stages from a start value after every completely run through adjusting cycle.
