[Case Study] Resolved by changing hardness and material! Paper feeding issues.
This is an example of a material change for the paper feed roller used in printers. Previously, foam urethane was used, but issues with paper feeding occurred depending on the type of paper used, making stable transport a challenge. Therefore, the hardness and material of the urethane were changed to match the material and surface condition of the paper being used. By optimizing the friction characteristics with the paper, the issues with paper feeding were resolved, achieving stable transport.

Paper feed rollers for printers and printing equipment The friction characteristics between the roller and the paper significantly affect the conveying performance. Even with the same roller, the paper feed performance can change due to compatibility issues, such as becoming slippery or, conversely, experiencing snagging, depending on the material and surface condition of the paper. In this case, we modified the hardness and material of the polyurethane used for the paper feed roller to match the type of paper being used. By optimizing the friction characteristics, we resolved the feeding issues that were occurring with different types of paper. For paper feed rollers, it is important to select materials that consider not only "hard" or "soft" but also the friction coefficient with the paper and the surface condition. We propose polyurethane materials and hardness tailored to the type of paper and conveying conditions to address challenges such as "feeding performance varies with paper type" and "unstable paper feeding."
