Has anyone else had problems with BP Fusing Units Meandering to the front and making noise and or jamming and sometimes shredding or locking up? Also 6-8 comes back OK if it hasn't shredded or locked up.

Yeah, the BP fusers are over-engineered hot garbage, literally. From factory, we're noticing they're not within spec, so when we set them up in house we check it, when we deliver it it's checked, as well as any service call we go on, we're checking it. It's ridiculous to have to, but they don't last consistently. -

Yes I have already rebuilt several of these fusers (even rebuilt one yesterday). And yes when we deliver it it's checked, as well as any service call we go on, we're checking it. I'm hoping they are not going to be the same problem as the Mx-C402 fusers as they were really junk.Comment

Sharp color fusers have always been terrible. The BPs run VERY tight - meaning hard to turn. Eventually nothing but jamming, broken gears , noise. Meandering as well.Comment

As I understand it, Sharp's guidelines are to only check meandering when the fuser is rebuilt. Its not even advised to do meandering on initial set up now as it should have been done in the factory.
We've had lots of premature failures aswell, usually around 40 - 60%, but some much earlier.Comment

With the BP fusers I have found a way to adjust them without taking it out of the machine by using an extra long screwdriver. it made it a lot easier.Comment

Are you all doing the meadering process correctly?
The fuser must be cold to do the procedure correctly.
So once rebuilt, place it in the device, keep the duplex door open and boot up the device.
Once booted up enter simulation, go to sim 6-8, close the door and start the meadering process
Never had an issue if you do the procedure correctly
As stated above, do not touch the fuser during the run up process once the device has been unboxed, it is not required
Only to be done once rebuiltComment

We follow the procedure to the letter and have had 10 - 15 early failures.
Out of interest, how many do you have and what models (speed). We have around 50 now with an equal split of high and low speed. All of our failures have been on higher speed models (C45 and above) Only one has reached 100% so far.Comment

Weird, because we test them when we get machines in, and out of 50 BP70C55's that we setup for a one customer, EXACTLY HALF were out of spec. Even though we checked and adjusted each one of those 50, we've still had two of those machines(so far) blow up around 20-30k. I feel like we're dealing with the Phoenix/Griffin machines early on where we had to replace pressure rollers constantly because of toner sticking to em.Comment

....We touch them because we've had so many problems with them in the field otherwise...? That's just the most recent case. We've had numerous other times that we've had to rebuild fusers, and they were nowhere near their maintenance interval. We're obviously not the only dealer having problems with these fusers, regardless of how they're utilized, or maintained.Comment
