Operation

NOTICE

Machine damage due to humid air or residual water

  • Activate the extraction system of the milling machine during and after wet machining.

  • Leave the working chamber door open when you finish machining.

Switching from dry to wet machining

  1. Clean the working chamber of the milling machine.

  2. Remove the suction hose from the milling machine and insert it into the suction port (marked orange) on the wet grinding module.

     

  3. Insert the connecting hose into the suction port on the milling machine.

  4. Activate the cooling liquid pump in DentalCNC.

     

  5. Check if sufficient cooling liquid is hitting the cutting edge from all 3 spindle nozzles.

     

  6. Deactivate the cooling liquid pump.

    • The wet grinding module is ready for use.

Using the wet grinding module

  1. Operate the wet grinding module with the suction switched on at the highest level.

  2. Make sure that the icon for wet machining is activated when you create a job. The software then automatically controls the wet grinding module during machining.

    DentalCAM activates this function automatically for materials that must be processed wet (e.g. ceramic materials).

  3. Drops may form on the surface of the wet grinding module during prolonged operation. This is not a malfunction. Remove moisture regularly and check that all hoses are connected correctly.

Switching from wet to dry machining

  1. Activate the extraction system.

  2. Open the working chamber door of the milling machine.

  3. Remove all blanks from the milling machine.

  4. Push the liquid in the working chamber towards the air extraction opening.

  5. Remove the remaining moisture from the working chamber with a wet suction unit or a cloth.

  6. Thoroughly clean the cooling liquid outlet with the cleaning brush.

     

  7. Clean the 3 cooling liquid nozzles of the spindle with an interdental brush.

    (Not all cooling liquid nozzles are visible)

  8. Remove the connecting hose from the milling machine.

  9. Remove the suction hose from the wet grinding module.

     

  10. Insert the suction hose into the suction port on the milling machine.
