Operating regulations

What is the intended use of the machine? When will I lose my entitlement to benefits?

In the event of a violation of the following regulations, your entitlement to benefits may be forfeited.

Intended use

The machine and the manufacturing software Term for the software package consisting of DentalCAM and DentalCNC. have been designed for the commercial machining of dental objects by specially trained persons. The processed objects require additional work before their use on patients.

• Only process materials that you can select in the manufacturing software Term for the software package consisting of DentalCAM and DentalCNC..
• Only use the machine in a commercial environment.
• Before creating jobs, verify if the objects being prepared may be utilized at the place of use according to local and / or national regulations or other authorized organizations or entities (e.g. professional associations, health authorities). In particular, check whether the material is approved in general and for the indication being manufactured in particular, and whether the respective indication is manufactured in accordance with the valid regulations. Neither the manufacturing software Term for the software package consisting of DentalCAM and DentalCNC. nor the machine will inform you about possible infringements but will execute jobs as you set them.
• For each indication and for each material, check whether you are authorized to manufacture the indication or use the material. Obtain authorization from the appropriate organization (e.g., professional associations, health authorities) as needed.
• Only import objects into the manufacturing software Term for the software package consisting of DentalCAM and DentalCNC. that correspond to the object types that you can select in the manufacturing software Term for the software package consisting of DentalCAM and DentalCNC.. While you can import / manufacture any other objects as well, neither the manufacturing software Term for the software package consisting of DentalCAM and DentalCNC. nor the machine are designed for these other objects.
• Do not manufacture implants or parts that touch implants. These parts include parts of two-part abutments which contain the connection geometry for the implant. Do not manipulate the connection geometry of prefabricated abutments (“prefab abutments”), and check whether the connection geometry has been damaged on the finished object.

• Only operate the machine with original equipment from vhf. If you use non-authorized equipment, the safety of the machine can not be ensured.
• Only execute jobs that are processed wet, when you have an operational vhf wet grinding module installed.
• Do not modify the machine or remove the machine housing.

Controlling the machine through software

You control the machine through specially designed applications which are supplied with the machine.

• Always use the latest version of the application that officially supports your machine.
• Before installing or operating the machine, read the documentation for the applications.
• Ensure that your CAM computer The computer that is connected to your machine and which runs DentalCAM and DentalCNC. meets all system requirements.

Maintenance and cleaning

Maintenance and cleaning is part of standard machine usage.

• Clean and maintain the machine as required. Only then can the machine reach a long service life.
• Only perform maintenance tasks that are described in the operating instructions for the machine.

Spindle

The spindle of your machine is a high-precision instrument.

• Do not use any tools with high imbalance at high rotational speeds. Such an imbalance puts a great strain on the spindle’s ball bearings, which can damage the ball bearings.
• When working in the working chamber, do not apply manual pressure against the spindle.

Unattended operation

If the machine runs unattended, the risk of material damage is increased.

• Only allow unattended operation of the machine to occur if the following conditions are met:

• The national and local laws allow it.
• The working chamber of the machine is completely clean.
• Unauthorized users cannot access the machine.
• The room in which the machine is located has an automatic fire detection system.

Transportation and storage

Preparing for transportation or storage

1. Remove all blanks from the working chamber.
2. Remove all items from the blank magazine Part of the blank changer in which you store the blanks for automatic loading..
3. If the machine was used for wet machining:
1. Rinse the cooling liquid system.
2. Disassemble the wet grinding module as described in the module’s operating instructions.
4. Clean the working chamber. Ensure that the working chamber is completely dry.
5. Clean the blank magazine Part of the blank changer in which you store the blanks for automatic loading..
6. Install the transport lock. For this, follow the corresponding steps on the attachment.
7. Ensure that the machine housing is completely closed.
8. Switch off the machine via the main power switch.
9. Disassemble the machine components by following the installation instructions in reverse order.
10. In case of overseas transport, take proper measures against corrosion.

Packing the machine

To repack the machine after preparing its transportation or storage, the following steps are necessary:

1. If possible, use the original packaging. If the original packaging is not available, use a packaging of similar size and quality.

   Original packaging is available from customer service.

2. Pack the machine and its accessories securely. Follow the instructions on the supplement.
3. Protect the packaging against slipping. If machines are properly packed and protected against slipping, they may be stacked.
