Machines | Salvaging Useful Parts from Copy Machines: Stepper Motors, BLDCs, SMPS, Laser Diodes etc
videos | at work | information | view | construction
In this episode I discuss which parts can be salvaged from copy machines. Correction: I said something wrong in the video. What I called a "Flyback Converter" is actually the circuit that powers the tube. The high voltage generator is for the drum. Sorry I didn't have time to take a closer look before making the video.

I have some 127k23051 motors with assemblies that would go in a Xerox Docucolor 12.
I was wondering how I would figure out how to make use of these for projects. They are neat items, one motor and three output gears.
The first question would be voltage.
There is a 10 wire connector. Six of these go three clutches, one pair each, which engage the three gears. That is the relatively easy part, I can probably get one to engage.
The other four wires go to a board with the main motor on it, and this is more difficult for me. It would be nice if I could power it via the proper two wires. I may be able to bypass the board, but it would be better if I knew which two wires to use.
I thought that perhaps if I turned the motor I could read a voltage through two of the wires with a voltmeter. My dad did not think that would work.
Any information would be helpful.

What motor would you recommend for a mini disc sander? I don't know the power of a Dremel 3000 but half of its power would be fine for my applications.

Awesome find!

"Krombacher Pils"

Yeah, I would love to see a cnc router built from the stepper motors.
-
man how I want one of that..my dream
-
make a 3d printer
-
Nice work.

Awesome Find, I want to build a CNC router and most of the parts seem to be right there. I will definitely keep my eye out for one of these.
Thank You for posting this video. -
2:08 Whats that item one the left, with that 1 gear attached to it and 2 blue wires going out of it?

Don't remove the rubber bands from the rods by knife. Hot air gun for 2 minutes and you can just slide them down no problem.

Have you diagram PF2263K300A PCB-CONTROL of Toshiba copy machine or datasheet LSI-LC22017CT-RB2 (microcontroller IC )? please send me or reply me about them .thanks a lot (tdminh1@gmail.com)

Oh just a side note about IR radiation sources, even something silly like staring into an un shielded remote control IR diode, dont do it! the most dangerous thing is probably that since you dont see it, the iris in your eye ball machine will not close to block light such as when looking at a visible source, yet ir can and will do similar damage as looking into a bright light source (if im wrong some one can and will correct me...ughh) but this is what I remember from some sticker on some sweet machine i was disassembling some time ago :)

oh my gosh I Love ripping into copy machines, like a candy store, I always felt rushed though, didint wanna get caught >.>
just watching this is almost as fun though, Thank you !! -
need to change intro music is like horrible , use beethoven or somthing
-
i use the rubber rollers for my pinball game- like cushions to push rods in and out.

SPROCKETS NOW IS DE TIME VEN VE DANCE

I got one 3 times that size once. but at least it separated into units the size of this one. Even had fiber optic cable linking communications. Best thing on these is the laser is much stronger.

i smell a cnc router coming
