Printer/Copier Motion and vibration Analysis

Summary

Kinematic simulation model for office automation equipment such as printing and/or copy machines need to consider various kinds of elements such as wide-ranging vibration sources (driving motor, gear sets, etc.), nonlinear mechanism (backlash, cogged belt, sliding mechanism, paper feeding, etc.), machine frame vibration characteristics and self-induced vibration of paper feeding structure.

In general, the vibration of the machinery deteriorates its printing accuracy. Therefore, various element modeling technologies and know-how are required to make compatible both accurate model expression based on understanding the phenomenon as well as the factor analysis and simplification of parts that do not need detailed modeling.

The company provides CAE model which is appropriate to its target phenomena to solve and proposes its counter measures by applying both accumulated and newly developed innovative technologies.
