Crushing hazard caused by the moving blank magazine and blank gripper
If you reach into the blank magazine while the blank magazine or blank gripper is moving, you may suffer from bruises.
- Before moving the blank magazine via dentalcnc, remove your hands from the blank magazine and close the blank magazine door.
- While the machine is operating, always expect the blank magazine to suddenly start moving.
- When you are working in the blank magazine while the machine is operating, always keep your hands at the change position and never reach into the blank magazine.
- If you manually move the blank magazine, make sure that you do not pinch your fingers.
To the left of each blank magazine slot is a laser engraved number (marked orange) that labels the corresponding slot.
- The blank types in the physical slots must correspond to the blank types which are assigned to the virtual slots in dentalcnc.
- To move the blank magazine or to manually load blanks into the working chamber, use the Machining view in dentalcnc.
How to manually operate the blank changer and how to assign jobs to blank magazine slots is described in the documentation for dentalcnc.
Change position of the blank magazine
NOTICE! When you mount blanks to a blank magazine slot, you must use the change position. Otherwise, the blanks in your machine will not correspond to the blank positions assigned in dentalcnc. The machine may load the wrong blanks, which can result in unusable machining results and broken tools.
The change position (marked orange) is the position where the blank frame is oriented vertically in the blank magazine. Every blank magazine slot can be moved into the change position.
