The printer heating tube is an important heating element in the printer. Its main function is to provide heat for specific parts of the printer.
Common type: halogen heating tube
This heating tube is a sealed quartz infrared heating tube made by placing a tungsten filament in a quartz tube shell and then processing it through multiple processes. Halogen infrared heating tubes are thermal radiation light sources with the advantages of easy installation and use in both AC and DC circuits. They are clean, hygienic, and temperature-controllable when in use. They can be dried and heated under normal pressure and can also work in a vacuum.
Main parameters:
– Power: Power is an important parameter of the printer heating tube, which determines the heating speed and heating capacity of the heating tube. Printers of different models and uses require different heating tube powers. Generally speaking, the heating tube power of laser printers ranges from hundreds of watts to thousands of watts, the heating tube power of inkjet printers is relatively small, usually between tens of watts and hundreds of watts, and the heating tube power of 3D printers depends on the requirements of printing materials and printing speed.
– Size: The size of the heating tube needs to match the internal structure and installation space of the printer. Common printer heating tube sizes range from a few millimeters to tens of millimeters in diameter, and the length will also vary depending on the specific design of the printer. For example, some small desktop printers have smaller heating tubes, while large industrial printers have relatively larger heating tubes.
– Voltage: The operating voltage of printer heating tubes is generally AC or DC voltage, and common voltages are 12V, 24V, 110V, 220V, etc. When selecting a heating tube, it is necessary to determine the appropriate voltage specification based on the power supply voltage and circuit design of the printer.
