1.1.7.1.44 Life detection for Fixing Assembly

[ Manual-related ]
Description
Please explain about the life detection of the Fixing Assembly.
Field Remedy
To prevent the Fixing Failure due to the end-of-life for Fixing Assembly by load, its life is detected from following two values.
a) Current Value (Torque) Flowed Into the Fixing Drive Motor (M48)
By monitoring the current amount flowed into the fixing motor (M48), detect the life of the pressure belt unit.
As the pressure belt is worn, the amount of oil inside of the pressure belt decreases so that the frictional force inside of the belt becomes greater.
As the frictional force gets greater, the torque of the fixing motor becomes higher to rotate the drive roller; hence, the current amount (voltage) flown into the fixing
motor also becomes higher. Monitor this current amount and when it reaches to the specified level (warning level), the warning message is displayed on the control
panel.
As the fixing/pressure belt is worn further, the current amount reaches to the specified level (error level) and E008-0001 (Pressure Belt Unit life detection error) is
displayed (a message is also displayed on the service mode initial screen.)
As a rough estimation, the decrease of the oil amount that determines the life of the fixing unit starts around Pressure Belt Unit (600,000 sheets), (fixing delivered
number).
