Tosh Feed Tyes experiments

[jamesyboy]

Jamesboy: I agree with you. I've been using the Ricoh brand for the LCC rollers for almost a couple of years. The Toshibas are supposed to last 80k but also was yielding about 40k. The Ricoh brand seem to go beyond 80k and like you said, they are 1/3 of the price.
Also on trays 1 and 2 for e280,282,350/2, etc, I use the separation roller ass'y ( roller/clutch/frames ) from the old e-35 copiers. They seem to last the life of the machine.
Also notice a similar problem with the e-35 MR-3012 RADFs, the rollers are to last 80k but only getting about 40k feeds ( I have not found a solution for that one ).

thanks for input will look into old 35 sep assy as the sep is the problem a flat means to me its not turning correctly cheers good stuff

any more progress on feed tire issues on the 450/452 series, they just do not last at all ???

If you're a dealer on Prometric and Toshiba catches this on an inpection, you may lose your cert...anyway, feed rolls are cheap, why even bother? Emujo

That could be the best thing to happen. Then he can work on something not total crap.

BTW. Toshiba has and still does buy some of their machines from Ricoh. I used to be a fan of Toshiba, but not so much their copiers anymore. There feed mechanisms and their ridiculious parts prices just blow me away.

I still work on some machines of Toshiba where if you pull the paper drawer out to fast it bangs the pick up feed mechanisms and you have to rip everything out and put them back together...they're all flimsy too. The canons i work on have stable solid feed mechanisms and it doesn't matter how fast or slow you open the drawers. Not sure how the new sharps are.

Interesting read. The Copystar machines I see get no less than 300K on a set of rollers, some closer to 500K. That's across the board, from 20cpm on up to 80cpm. If you take some dimensions, I'll dig through my carstock, and possibly have some suggestions. =^..^=

YEP. konica is where its at as far as feed rollers. they last forever! well not forever but pretty long. the toshiba feed rollers dont last half as long as the KM's. one thing i do like about toshiba is their toner recycling. the KM's are pigs!
