•
Make sure the stop button is not activated.
•
Make sure that all necessary accessories (e.g. extraction system) are
correctly connected and ready for operation
•
Make sure that milling units with a coolant lubricant system have
sufficient coolant lubricant in the coolant lubricant tank and that the
filters/screens are clean
•
Check that the tools required are in the milling unit’s tool changer and
that the assignment corresponds with the assignment in the control
software
•
Check the milling unit interior for any loose parts and tools lying around
•
Check the alignment and correct fastening of the workpiece
•
Ensure that successful referencing of the milling unit has taken place -
the software automatically performs a reference run when the milling unit
is switched on
16.8.2 Preparing for dry milling
About this task
CAUTION
Dry processing with this milling unit shall only take place with an extraction
system that vacuums the dry milling dust. Only use extraction systems that
are supplied or approved by Planmeca.
CAUTION
Extraction systems supplied or approved by Planmeca are only suitable for
dry dust and are intended to vacuum dry milling dust only. Do not vacuum
coolant lubricant residue with the extraction systems supplied. This can lead
to serious damage and even destruction of the extraction system.
During dry processing, the material is processed without a coolant lubricant
system.
As such, fine dust and gases can be produced, which may have harmful
effects on health. Furthermore, the dust that is not extracted may damage
the milling unit and result in an increased risk of fire. The connection
and operation of an extraction system approved by Planmeca is therefore
required for the dry processing of materials.
The following materials are usually dry processed:
•
Zirconium dioxide
•
Plastics
•
Wax
•
Cobalt chrome
•
Composite
Steps
1. Ensure that the extraction system is connected to the control connection
(1) on the milling unit with the control cable that was supplied with the
extraction system.
