Re: Thoughts For Design Engineers

The latest technology in cookware is stonedyne hard surface non-stick coating. Why can't all copier and printer hot rollers be coated with a stonedyne hard waring surface with the same or similar properties? There should be no need to repair fuser units for the life of the machine. Normal maintainance on a fuser unit should be very minimal from there on.

At least allow factory service and dealer support access to the hard coating hot rollers to reduce their service contract pricing an remain competitve.

Who would pay 3000 for 1000 machine? And what if techs were no longer required?

Speaking of Ricoh/Savin hot rollers, the rollers were bad enough (prone to scoring from toner buildup on thermistors and stripper fingers), but now we've gone to these fusing sleevs. O.M.G. Lamps were bad on them 50% of the time, right out of the box..... and they NEVER tear from toner buildup in that spring loaded guide plate......nooooooooo.......

Many years ago we had a hospital with over 150 Konica 1290s. After 3- 4 years of maintaining those I bet one of the guys in the shop I could strip one down to the frame and re build it blindfolded...I did miss a connector, and lost a c clip, but the shop guy was so impressed he bought lunch anyway.

That is impresive! I was able todo Canon BJ30. I stripped few hundred, but that was only a tiny printer!

And the new 3d parts manuals from Ricoh are terrible. Bring back the old .pdf manuals!

I have 'thoughts for design engineers', but I wouldn't put them in a public forum.
