    bizhub 601 fs 524 problem

    more of a rattle. I have a bizhub 601 equipped with the fs 524 it was new 2 weeks ago. total count on the copier is 4500 prints. this finisher has developed a rather loud rattle when copying. I opened the back of the unit. and watched it. listened. and have lubed the brass bushings in the upper and lower drive train. with no effects. I just have no ideas what I may have missed. there has been a couple of jams in the machine. here and there. but was just trying to narrow it down. what is the general consensis of what to do. in this situation? I have trired to narrow it down by removing a lot of componets and isolating. but it is kind of difficult. any thoughts? I do have the manual as well
    I appreciate any help and I thank you

      Especially in low volume locations, the foam de-curling rollers can develop flat spots. Each time one of these flat spots rolls around you get a "thump". It almost sounds like a hammering sound. I've seen it on a wide variety of equipment.

      The bad news? If the machine remains in the low volume location, the new de-curl rollers will get the same flat spots again. The only "cure" that I know of is more volume. Keep those rollers spinning.

      To be sure, manually rotate the de-curl rollers checking for flat spots. If they're there you'll find them right away. =^..^=

      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          When the machine is working and the back cover is off it's almost unbelievable. How Noisey it is. And yes it is in a low volume area for sure. I will check it out. And I thank you. Oh and it would get a little quieter when a piece of paper slid through that section. So you are probably right. Darn you black cat. You know everything!! lol. Haha. Thanks again
