Improved Design of General Layout on Wide Format Thermal Transfer Printing Equipment

Abstract

The wide format thermal transfer printing equipment (WFTTPE) was used for producing banners in advertising. The general layout and structure of WFTTPE were introduced and analyzed. The left box and right box have been reduced to decrease occupied areas in improved layout. The discharge smoke module has been added to reduce harmful smoke. Bearing block and bearing have been moved to the left side of support plate to dismantle easy. The location of DC motor, main control circuit board, storage battery, control panel and equipment nameplate have been adjusted with new layout adjustment of WFTTPE. The result showed that the occupied areas of WFTTPE had been reduced by one-third, and the concentration of indoor harmful smoke has been reduced by two-third. The actual applications showed that the lifetime of T6214 bearing could reach 12 months at least while the 61914 bearing lost efficacy mean three months.
