Step 1: Mounting Disc Workpieces on Adapters

Mount workpieces on adapters with unique ID labels. You can mount workpieces on any adapters so long as they have unique ID labels. In CAM software, specify the IDs of the adapters on which workpieces have been mounted to start milling.

MEMO Adapter ID labels are not affixed to open edge adapters. Affix the adapter ID labels included as an optional product with this machine to the additional adapters before using them.

Procedure
  1. Use a torque screwdriver to loosen the adapter screws (in four locations), turning them approximately four times.
    IMPORTANT

    Use the included spare screws when a screw is lost or worn.

  2. Remove the adapter cap.

    Turn the adapter cap in the direction of the arrows to remove it.

  4. Attach the adapter cap to the adapter base.
    1. Orient the adapter cap removed in step 2 as shown in the following figure.

      Pay attention to the position of the notch.

      MEMO Open edge adapters do not have a notch. If you are using an open edge adapter, orient the adapter cap as shown in the following figure.

    2. Attach the adapter cap to the adapter base, and then turn the cap in the direction of the arrow.

  5. Temporarily tighten the screws (in four locations) with a torque screwdriver so that their seats come into contact with the adapter cap.

    To prevent workpiece damage, temporarily tighten the screws before fully tightening them.

  6. Use a torque screwdriver to tighten the screws in four locations in the order shown in the following figure.
    IMPORTANT

    Switch to the torque screwdriver sleeve that matches the material you are using. Failing to do so may damage the workpiece.

    The torques required when attaching workpieces of various materials are as follows.

    Material Torque
    Zirconia 0.3 N·m
    Wax 0.3 N·m
    PMMA 0.6 N·m
    Composite resins 0.6 N·m
    PEEK 0.6 N·m
    PEKK 0.6 N·m
    Glass-fiber-reinforced resin 0.6 N·m
    CoCr sintered metal 0.3 N·m
    Gypsum 0.3 N·m
    Polycarbonate 0.6 N·m
    IMPORTANT

    Tighten the screws until turning the handle of the torque screwdriver no longer turns the screw bit.

    Also, to prevent workpiece damage, secure the workpiece evenly. Be sure to tighten the screws across the diagonals.
