Abstract
Flat belts are used widely in ATMs, automated ticket machines, mail sorting machines, color printers and copiers. In color printers, rollers and flat belts are used to transfer toner images. Belt skew (side walk) in the belt lateral direction affects serious influence on the printer image quality. In this research, in order to study characteristics of the belt skew under arbitrary roller tilt conditions, an experimental apparatus with two rollers and a belt was made. At the same time, simulation using FEM (Finite Element Method) software was performed and both results are compared. Furthermore, a wrinkle occurring process of belt is simulated.
