When maintenance of copiers is conducted, the efficiency and effectiveness of the technician can be greatly impacted by minor differences in hardware. Technicians who perform service on the Sharp MX-260 series have a difficult job with model inconsistency between "New" and "Old".
Historically, one of the most frustrating obstacles for Sharp technicians in servicing the MX-260 Series copiers was the difference in hole gap between the "Old" (MX-213) and "New" (MX-237) Models.
All MX-260 models use two different designs that require two different drums to service. The "Old" Model uses a drum that is designed to accommodate a Smaller Hole, and the "New" Model accommodates a Larger Hole. Many companies that provide service for this line of copiers also need to stock two types of drums (one for the "Old Model" and one for the "New Model"). This creates increased travel time, additional downtime, and added logistical costs associated with transporting and stocking the wrong part.
Another challenge facing leasing companies that manage fleets of Sharp copy machines is the added complexity of having to keep track of which machine uses which SKU when a company has both the "Old" and "New" MX-260 Series copiers.
Honhai has solved these two problems with its Long-Life OPC Drum and Universal Adapter Pin. The Honhai solution transforms the way Sharp Copiers are serviced in the market today.
1. Universal-Compatible Engineering
The proprietary Honhai adapter pin enables the single Long Life OPC Drum to work for the MX-213 (Small Hole) and MX-237 (Large Hole) designs.
The Universal Adapter Pin enables the OPC Drum to work for multiple and mainstream models, including the Sharp AR5626, AR5731, MX-M236N, MX-M315N, etc.
The 100% success rate achieved when using the Universal Adapter Pin provides seamless compatibility of components and reduces the number of rework experiences by as much as 60%.
2. Cost Savings & Operational Efficiency
Implementing the Honhai solution, by standardizing components across your fleet, allows for significant cost savings within your organization.
As a result of eliminating the need to carry both types of drums, the inventory associated with this maintenance operation is reduced by 50%, freeing up warehouse space.
Additionally, technicians will have the confidence to respond to any Sharp MX-260 series service call without having to worry about which SKU the machine is using.
