IH Fusing Technology: Rapid Warm-Up Solution

Fuji Xerox developed an induction heating (IH) fuser that provides both energy-saving performance and high convenience. The IH fuser uses an IH belt and coil to generate an alternating magnetic field, rapidly heating the belt. This allows the fuser to reach the desired temperature in just 3 seconds for warming up, requiring no preheating during standby. The IH fuser also saves a considerable amount of electricity compared to traditional fusers. It provides both quick warm-up and recovery times from power saving modes as well as significantly reduced energy consumption.

In recent years, office printing machines have been required to provide both energy-saving performan such convenience as less start-up time (warm-up time) the time it takes until a machine becomes re operation after power-on and less recovery time from power save mode. The fuser, which melts Free Belt Nip Fuser fixes it on paper in copy machines incorporating xerography technology (electrophotography technolo Technology generally consumes about 70% of total power consumption. Moreover, about 70% of the power consu Biomass Materials Technology the fuser is used for preheating during standby time, which means that reducing fuser preheating consumption) can significantly contribute to energy-saving performance. However, reducing the warm Recycling Technology for and recovery time from power save mode entails preheating the fusing part so that it can reach the ton Resins of Machine Enclosure melting temperature relatively quickly. Consequently, achieving both energy-saving performance and Covers convenience poses a big challenge. EMC Evaluation Technology Fuji Xerox therefore developed an IH (induction heating) fuser that provides copy machines with both saving performance and high-level convenience. end

In order to reduce the warm-up time and recovery time from power save mode, the fusing part that m and fixes it on paper must be heated quickly to the desired temperature from room temperature or from medium temperature when in power save or standby mode. As indicated in Figure 1, a fuser (at room temperature) using IH fusing technology needs only three seconds of warm-up time before initiating c operation. Since Fuji Xerox's IH fusing technology enables extremely rapid heating, there is no need preheating during standby time or in power save mode. Figure 2 shows that a considerable amount of can be saved.

Figure 3 shows the basic configuration of the IH fuser. This unique configuration consists of an IH be (containing a nonmagnetic metal heating layer several thick) and an IH coil that generates an alter m magnetic field. Both the belt and coil are sandwiched between inner and outer magnetic structure strengthens the magnetic coupling, creates the desired magnetic flux path, and increases hea efficiency through electromagnetic induction, which rapidly heats the IH belt. Optimizing the thickness of each layer and the materials used in the IH belt (which contains a nonmag metal heating layer several m thick) not only ensures belt durability but also minimizes the belt's hea to 1/6 to 1/4 of that for heat rolls with aluminum or iron base material. Moreover, as the fuser warms latch mechanism withdraws the pressure roll from the IH belt. This prevents heat conduction to the pr and enables efficient heating of the IH belt at minimum heat capacity.
