Before Work
Perform work so that the depth of the fixture material in each pool is as follows.
| No. | Description |
|---|---|
| Fill the supply pool with fixture material to a depth that exceeds the height of the job to output. For the PB-600, use the job height + 30 mm (1.18 in.) as a guideline. For the PB-400, use 130% of the job height + 15 mm (0.59 in.) as a guideline. | |
| Fill the molding pool with fixture material to a depth of approximately 10 mm (0.39 in.). However, when placing a mesh rack, or something similar, under the job, fill the pool with fixture material that is deep enough to hide this rack. MEMO If the first few layers of the fixture are slightly shifted toward the reuse pool, increasing the depth of the fixture material first stored in the molding pool by about 10 mm may improve the situation. |
|
| Empty the reuse pool of fixture material and lower the table 10 mm (0.39 in.). |
Items required
Prepare the following tools.
| Tool to prepare | Application |
|---|---|
Scoop |
A wide, deep tool with a flat tip (such as an ice scoop) is recommended. Use this tool to move fixture material to a different pool. |
Straight ruler (metal) |
Use this tool to measure the height of the fixture material stored in the supply pool. A thin (not thick) metal ruler is recommended. Be sure to use a tool that is about 500 mm (19.69 in.) long. |
Squeegee |
Although not required, this tool is useful to have on hand. Use it to reduce the roughness of the fixture material surface. |
Leveling bar |
Use this tool to manually level the surface of the fixture material. |
Sieve |
Use this tool to remove the clumps of fixture material remaining in the pool. |
Dust collector |
Suctions and collects airborne fixture material. Use this tool to prevent airborne fixture material from scattering and floating. Place the inlet close to areas in which work that easily causes fixture material to become airborne is being performed, and then turn on the dust collector. |
