Bearing Project for iGen Fuser: Development and Testing of Fuser Bearings

This project aims to develop a method to characterize physical properties of bearings throughout their lifespan for the iGen Fuser Assembly. The team will collect data, correlate properties to end-of-life, and incorporate sensors for monitoring. Testing procedures and failure criteria will be documented. Using a pairwise comparison chart, the most critical needs will be identified, focusing on data collection procedures. The project scope includes creating a measuring tool to assist Xerox Corporation’s engineering team in bearing life characterization. Concepts such as fixed outer race, camshaft, and sensor integration will be explored.
