Will Kon/Min ever make a fuser that don't make noise?
Will Kon/Min ever make a fuser that don't make noise?
How could one of the top OEM's not be able to correct the noise that their fusers make, squealing, clicking, clunking, etc. Not just when machine is running but when sitting idle. I know it's mostly due to bearings inside fuser which I've replaced many times when rebuilding the fusers. Or the cleaning / brush roller bushings / bearings on the larger models.
This has been going on for many years and still doing it with new models! From what I remember it started with the early "4" series and never got better.
What brought me to finally post this was I just bought two C3350i (low meters, 4k & 20k) from wholesaler and both fusers are making terrible noise. Just no excuse for this! Why keep using the same footprint when it's not working!
Anyway sorry for ranting but this really has me pissed.
Re: Will Kon/Min ever make a fuser that don't make noise?
I know it's probably stupid question but are you sure noise is from fusers?
They are known for noisy exit section, could it be?
See below: konica minolta c3320i noise
It's easy to test it with tech51 advice.
Good luck

Re: Will Kon/Min ever make a fuser that don't make noise?
So far we haven't experienced any noise from the fusers in the C3350i and similar models, but like tsbservice said, we have had multiple issues with the exit section squeaking and squealing on these smaller machines.
As for noisy fusers, that goes back at least as far as the 2-series machines, especially the 552/652 (and color). Those were notorious for their squeaking. Almost always the cleaning brush roller bushings in those, and once those bushing wore down enough, then you would have the curved metal arms that held the brush roller start rubbing on each end of the large black cleaning roller.

Have you tried enabling silent mode with engine FW dipswitch 37? You can do that on the C3350i.

Used copiers, you can never guarantee the counter is correct.
Maybe thats why the devices were sold on, the last user got fed up with the noise.

Exit assy's are very common to squeak on the sparrow series, and also not hard to lube all points of friction with a suitable plastic compatible grease. Once done correctly its generally not an issue ever again. The fusers can make a clunk clunk clunk noise from a flat spotted pressure roller if left idle and for a long period, it may or may not eventually sort itself out with use.

Good point but I've been in this business long enough to know if machine is low meter. For instance the C3350i I just bought with 4k on meter still has yellow on transfer roller among other signs that only low meter machines would have.

Not a stupid question. I have read about the noise with exit section and will look at that. The noise almost sounds the same as the old C3350 and why kon min history of fuser noise came to mind and I posted OP

Again why would a top OEM not grease the points of friction when assembling at factory! Just no excuse for this. I still say the last good machines Kon/Min sold were the "4" series. The "8" series is also good but because of the drums changing to PCR instead of sawtooth charger they rank below the "4" series. As for the "i" series so far they have not proven to be better, if anything they are worse! Just my humble opinion.
Re: Will Kon/Min ever make a fuser that don't make noise?
One thing you can do is set machine to go into low power to a lower time not the max of 60 minutes. The longer its on in standby the more the fuser is heated and rotating. I set mine to go into low power after 15 minutes. I also make sure that the machine does not go into sleep mode because a lot of KM's have trouble waking from sleep mode
A favorite resort of the foreign residents of Yokohama during the summer months is the island of Enoshima. It is about twenty miles away, and is a noted place of pilgrimage for the Japanese, on account of certain shrines that are reputed to have a sacred character. Doctor Bronson arranged that his party should pay a visit to this island, as it was an interesting spot, and they could have a glimpse of Japanese life in the rural districts, and among the fishermen of the coast. "But as we are in for it," he continued, "we must make the best of the situation, and hope to go through in safety. Many a strong ship lies at the bottom of the sea, where she was sent by just such a storm as we are about to pass through, and many another has barely escaped. I was once on a ship in the China seas, when the captain told the passengers that it would be a miracle if we remained half an hour longer afloat. But hardly had he done speaking when the wind fell, the storm abated, and we were safe. The typhoon is to these waters what the hurricane is to the West Indies; it is liable to blow at any time between April and September, and is often fearfully destructive. OPIUM-PIPE. OPIUM-PIPE. "Surely your ladyship knows Dr. Bruce!" Hetty said with a vivid splash of colour on either cheek "A little time ago I understood that Dr. Bruce----" "I require that everywhere a strict investigation shall take place into the conduct of the soldiers with regard to the life and property of the civilian population. "Where were they buried?" They all pressed forward. "Count out. That's the only fair way," shouted the boys in the center. "Now, there's three loaves o' bread for the Sargint," said Harry, laying them down on a newspaper. "There's three for the Corpril; there's three for me; there's three for you." "'T?un't peas, thick 'un," Vennal would break in uproariously, "it's turnips—each of 'em got a root like my fist." At this moment of perplexity, some medicine, that she had obtained from Edith, occurred to her, and, with a feeling of confidence, and almost of extacy, she took a phial from a shelf in a cupboard where she had placed it, and, pouring out the contents in a large spoon, hesitated an instant ere she administered it. "Let me see," said she; "surely it was a large spoonful Edith told me to give—yet all that was in the phial doesn't fill the spoon. Surely I can't be wrong: no—I remember she said a large spoonful, and we didn't talk of any thing else—so I must be right." But Mary still hesitated, till, hearing a sudden noise in the court-yard, which, she conjectured, was her mistress returned, and as the child was getting worse every moment, she leaned back its head, and, forcing open its mouth, compelled the patient, though with difficulty, to swallow its death. The draught was taken; the rigid muscles relaxed, and for a minute the child lay motionless in her lap; but in an instant after, Mary could scarcely suppress a shriek at the horrid sight that met her gaze. The eyes opened, and glared, and seemed as if starting from the head—the fair face and the red lips, were blue, deepening and deepening, till settling in blackness—the limbs contracted—the mouth opened, and displayed a tongue discoloured and swollen—then came a writhing and heaving of the body, and a low, agonized moan: and, as Mary looked almost frantic at this dreadful sight, Edith's words, when she had given her the phial, "that there was enough there to kill," suddenly occurred to her—and then, too, came, with a dreadful distinctness, the remembrance of the true directions which Edith had given. It was nearly noon the next day, when the under-sheriff entered the room to ask if their opinions were yet unanimous. The galleyman still refused. "That for ye, coward," said Tyler, striking him with the flat side of his bared weapon. Oakley aimed another thrust which was again turned aside, and the smith, now flinging down his sword, seized upon his right hand and wrenched the dagger from its grasp. After a short struggle, Oakley fell heavily on the pavement with the blood streaming from his mouth and nostrils. HoME萝拉泷泽第4部资源
