To enhance the printing capabilities of the
iGEN4 printer by designing a sensing device that will detect the variable bending stiffness of an 8.5”x11” sheet of paper moving through a simple paper path at a speed of 250mm/s to 750mm/s.
The solution needs to be socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable.
The Goal is to Measure Paper Stiffness
![Page 4: Presented by Michael Joseph, Peter Zaki, and Jay Yen](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eeb5503460f94bfc648/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Stiffness the old fashioned way
Tensile Stiffness
Bending Stiffness
Equivalent stiffness
![Page 5: Presented by Michael Joseph, Peter Zaki, and Jay Yen](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eeb5503460f94bfc648/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Currently, the stiffness is measured by:
Using off-line samples Done manually and slowly Cannot provide feedback during manufacturing
There is a need for a device to measure stiffness in real time because the current process is time consuming and can be error prone.
Innovation
![Page 6: Presented by Michael Joseph, Peter Zaki, and Jay Yen](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eeb5503460f94bfc648/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Pieces of paper with various stiffness change in
travel time through the printer path. As they move through the printing path, stiff paper “cuts the corner” around a bend, while less stiff paper travels a farther distance.
Unaccounted differences in stiffness could be the difference between a registered image and an unregistered image.
Stiffness Does Matter

The Modular Component
A transducer sends a sound wave with a high frequency to a receiver.
The sound wave is distorted as it travels through a medium.
![Page 14: Presented by Michael Joseph, Peter Zaki, and Jay Yen](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eeb5503460f94bfc648/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The echo that is received is used to determine
the distance between the sensor and the paper.
Knowing these values leads to the evaluation of stiffness.
