Project Team, Faculty, and Customer • Project Team: • Project Lead: Kevin Argabright (ME) • Team Members: John Fitch Dean (ME) Mike Buonaccorso (ME) Justin Eichenberger (ME) • Project Guide: William Nowak (Xerox Corporation) • Faculty: • Consultant Dr. Stephen Boedo • Customer: • Xerox Corporation Erwin Ruiz Melissa Monahan
Running Conditions of Fuser Xroller forces are 184lbs each Reaction force of 360lbs/bearing Fuser rotates at 79.8RPM Outer race of the fuser bearings experience a temperature of 230°F
Customer Needs • Develop method to characterize physical properties of bearings over their physical life • Collect data on bearing properties • Correlate physical property to end of life • Incorporate multiple sensors • Characterize physical properties over the bearing's physical life • Create failure criteria • Document the procedure (Testing) • Testing bearings is quick and easy to do • Document the procedure (Collecting Data)
Weighted Customer Needs • Used a pairwise comparison chart • Most Important Needs: • Develop method to characterize physical properties of bearings over their physical life • Document the procedure for collecting data
Project Scope • Create a measuring tool to aid Xerox Corporation’s engineering team in collecting necessary data for characterizing bearing life in the iGen Fuser Assembly
Concept Selection • Design chosen • Fixed Outer Race • Camshaft • DC motor • Conduction to outer surface • Belt • Accelerometer • Thermistor • Microcontroller • Labview
