Milling test specimens and checking the values
Workflow Calibrating the machine.
Prerequisites
-
You have prepared the calibration.
-
You have prepared the micrometer.
-
You know how to execute a single job.
-
Open machine management with the following icon in the Main icon bar:

-
Select the Service functions tab.
-
In the Create test specimen job function, select the Start button.
-
dentalcnc adds the job to the queue.
-
Open the Manufacturing view with the following icon in the Main icon bar:

-
Manufacture the job like any other job.
-
Remove the test specimen from the machine.
- E3
- E4
- E5
- K5, K5+, S5, S5m
- N4+
- R5
-
Remove the test specimen from the machine.
-
Recommendation: Label the test specimen with a name and date.
-
To ensure accurate measurement results, remove all manufacturing residues with a brush.
-
Recommendation Put the individual parts onto a flat surface so that you can use both hands to handle the micrometer.
-
Measure the test specimen.
- Measure each position 2 times.
-
Record all measuring values.
-
Measure the height of the measurement points that begin with H.
Number of measurement points: 2
-
Measure the width of the measurement points that begin with B.
Number of measurement points: 4
-
Compare the measuring values with the following table.
(Optional) In addition to the manual check, use the machine-specific interactive form.
-
If all measuring values are within the range of tolerance, a calibration is not necessary. Otherwise, manufacture and measure a calibration specimen.
