Abstract

One of the most frequent durability issues in laser printer system is the failure of thin metal sleeve in the fuser assembly. In order to ensure the reliability of the laser printer, it is important to predict the failure of the thin metal sleeve in the fuser assembly. In this study, the method to predict fatigue life of fuser SUS sleeve with 3D dynamic simulation and fatigue simulation using ABAQUS and FEMFAT is introduced. Fatigue property of fuser SUS sleeve is correlated with MIT folding endurance test results and safety factor is calculated to endure the product life specification.
