Starting, interrupting, canceling jobs

The workflow for restoration is as follows:

You control and start manufacturing with DentalCNC. In this chapter, we will give you a brief overview. For the complete instructions, see the documentation for DentalCNC.

Starting jobs

  1. Ensure the following:
    • You created a job on your CAM computerClosed The computer that is connected to your machine and which runs DentalCAM and DentalCNC.. It has been transferred to DentalCNC.
    • All required tools are in the right positions in the tool magazine and are neither worn nor damaged. They have also been added to the virtual tool magazine in DentalCNC.
    • The required blanks are mounted.
    • If you want to work with an ionizer: The option Ionizer activated in DentalCNC is activated.
    • The compressed air supply is set correctly.
  2. Close the working chamber door.
  3. If you manually control the suction unit, switch it on and set it to the required level.

     

  4. Proceed as follows:

    Start machining via the depicted icon in DentalCNC.

  5. Start machining via the depicted icon in DentalCNC.
    • The suction unit is running.

      Machining starts.

Aborting machining

  1. DentalCNC: Select the depicted icon.

  2. Confirm the current message.
    • The following happens:
    1. Machining stops immediately.
    2. DentalCNC asks whether the tool in the spindle can be safely inserted into the tool magazine.

      If inserting the tool would damage the tool magazine inserts, the tool must be removed manually.

  3. If the spindle has moved into the tool change position, continue with the next step.
  4. CAUTION!Wear gloves.

  5. Open the working chamber door.
  6. Hold the tool in the collet chuck in place.

  7.  

  8. Confirm the current message.
    • The collet chuck opens.
  9. Remove the tool from the collet chuck.

     

  10. If your machine is equipped with a manual working chamber door, close the door.
  11. Confirm the current message.
    • The following happens:
    1. The collet chuck closes.
    2. The spindle moves to its default position.

Job interruptions and job abortions

A job will be interrupted in the following cases:

  • The compressed air supply is not sufficient
  • The vacuum in the working chamber is not sufficient

An interrupted job will normally be continued automatically after the error is corrected.

A job will be aborted in the following cases:

  • In case of a machine malfunction
  • In case of a tool breakage
  • In case of a power failure

If a job was aborted, you have to restart it.

DentalCNC allows you to resume the job from the last machining step. For more information, see the corresponding documentation.
