Abstract

The surface heating fuser structure has low energy consumption and high heating speed due to its low heat capacity and simple structure. The authors have introduced a surface heating fuser system in NIP 29. The heating material is composed of carbon nano tube and silicon rubber composite, and fabricated with thin film layer structure in order to minimize the heat capacity. A nip supporting member is applied to the heating tube inside slide along the surface of heating tube. But the high friction between the nip support member and the heating tube caused to the limitation of fusing speed and failure of electrical supply unit due to leaked lubricant. In this study, the roller type surface heating fuser structure is proposed. The fusing performance has been predicted by numerical simulation and verified by fabricated proto sample. The high fusing speed and durability of structure is confirmed through the evaluation of fusing system.
