Setup
1Locate the TS150 Mill in a spare
room with a sturdy support, such as
table or cabinet top surface, which
is capable of holding a weight of
150 lbs.
2Mount the supplied air pressure
regulator on the back of the unit or
on the wall near the unit.
3Connect the ofce air supply to the
regulator (3/8” inch OD tubing), the
output of the regulator to the air inlet
located on the rear of the unit. (Air
Consumption Requirement: 4.5CFM
@ 85–90 psig)
4Use the power cord to connect the
system to a grounded power outlet.
5Switch the power on at the power
inlet on the back of the unit.
6Load the coolant trough with a
mixture of distilled or R.O. water
and TS150 coolant solution.
(See Routine Maintenance for
instructions.)
7Fill the oil reservoir with TS150-
approved lubricant. (See Routine
Maintenance for instructions.)
Basic Setup
8The TS150 requires a USB ready
“out-of-the-box” cable or Ethernet
connection to the computer running
FastDesign™(your Technical
Support Specialist will help set up
this connection).

Running the TS150
Mill Preparation
1From the TS150 start screen, select
CHAIRSIDE MILL ICON.
The TS150 will go through a self-
check sequence which will verify that
motion control and other systems
are working correctly.
2Select LOAD PROGRAM from the
home screen.
Select the case le to be milled
and Open.
• If the case calls for BruxZir®NOW,
skip to step 7.
• If the case is designated as Obsidian®,
ENAMIC®or Lava™, proceed to
following step 3.
3OBSIDIAN, ENAMIC, LAVA
MATERIAL ONLY
Once the le is loaded, the software
will move the mechanism to the
Load Material position.
Once the material is loaded, select
Loaded.

RUNNING THE TS150
4If the milling tool has reached the
end of its life, the mechanism will
move to the LOAD TOOL position.
If prompted, open the chamber door
to load a new tool. Close the door
and select LOADED.
5With the door closed and LOADED
icon selected, the TS150 will
automatically begin machining. The
UI will change to the following screen.
While the TS150 is machining, the
Operator can PAUSE the job if necessary.
Select RESUME to continue machining
or select CANCEL to halt the job.
6When the machining is complete,
select OK.

7When you select OPEN the system
will automatically open the load
material dialog.
8A brand-new tool is required for
each BruxZir NOW job. The TS150
will verify this information and the
message shown will depend on
whether the current tool has
remaining life or not.
9Once the user selects LOADED, the
job will automatically start and the UI
will change to the below screen.

Loading Material
General Operation
Position slot on mandrel towards rear
of mill so retaining screw hole is visible
above the retaining screw. Push it all the
way down until it is fully seated.
Slightly rotate the material block side-to-
side while tightening the retaining screw
clockwise until the retaining screw is fully
seated into the depression. The retaining
screw should be tightened rmly.

GENERAL OPERATION
Loading a Tool
The spindle contains a spring-loaded lock
mechanism which prevents it from rotating
while installing or removing tools. Push this
lock in and apply a wrench to the nut. To
remove a used tool, rotate the nut counter-
clockwise to loosen. To install a new tool,
rotate the nut clockwise to tighten.
When installing a new tool, push the tool
all the way down to the nut, and tighten the
nut rmly while holding the spring-loaded
lock. It will take about four 90° turns to
completely tighten the tool.
When installing a new tool, push the tool
all the way down to the nut, and tighten the
nut rmly while holding the spring-loaded
lock. It will take about four 90° turns to
completely tighten the tool.
When installing a new tool, push the tool
all the way down to the nut and tighten the
nut rmly while holding the spring-loaded
lock. It will take about four 90° turns to
completely tighten the tool.
After tightening the nut, make sure the
spring-lock mechanism is all the way out
and the spindle rotates freely. You are now
ready to run the program.

Routine Maintenance
Cleaning the Coolant Trough
The time frame for changing the coolant is dependent on mill usage, but generally it should be changed on a weekly basis.
Cleaning the Coolant Trough
• To remove the coolant trough, press the
coolant trough release button on the
side of the system and remove trough
using the trough handle.
• Grasp the lter and remove it from
the top of the trough. Empty any large
particles on top of the lter into a trash
receptacle. Once the large particles
have been removed, the lter can be
washed in warm water with a mild
detergent to remove the spindle oil. Be
sure to rinse all of the detergent out of
the lter before reusing it.
• Empty the trough using the rubber
drain plug and then rinse the trough
with distilled or R.O. water. Scoop
out any remaining slurry using a large
spoon or spatula.
NOTE: It helps to use a toothbrush
to clean the inside crevices within the
trough.
WARNING: Sharp glass particles may
be present in the trough, so use care
when emptying it. Using gloves is
recommended.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Refilling the Oil Reservoir
Refilling the Coolant Trough
• Fill the trough with 2.4L (2.5 quarts)
distilled or R.O. water and 240mL (8 .
oz.) of TS150 mill coolant concentrate.
The coolant mixture level should be
near the top edge of the handle.
The TS150 utilizes a 150,000 RPM air
spindle which requires oil for lubrication.
The system contains an automatic oiler
to ensure long life of the spindle. The
lubricator requires relling at regular
intervals, which is approximately
every 40 hours of use. A level sensor
connected to the internal computer is
used to ensure the lubricator system
does not run dry.
• To rell the reservoir, simply remove the
cap of the oil reservoir and slowly add
oil until the amount as seen in the oil
sensor window reads full.
IMPORTANT: Use only oil supplied by
IOS, as other oils may cause damage to
the spindle and coolant pump and void
the warranty.
The internal surfaces of the machining
chamber should be cleaned weekly with
a cloth and distilled water.
• Remove the lower drain cover by
pulling it towards the front of the unit.
Empty any glass fragments from the
drain cover, rinse clean and reinsert
into the machining chamber.
• The external surfaces of the TS150 can
be cleaned with a mild detergent.
Fill Line
IMPORTANT: Only use distilled or R.O. water in the trough. DO NOT USE standard tap water in the trough, as it contains minerals
which will cause scale buildup and premature failure of the seals.
IMPORTANT: Only use mill coolant concentrate supplied by IOS Technologies. This mill coolant concentrate was developed
specically for the TS150. Use of other uids may damage the machine and void the warranty.

Cleaning the Spindle Collet and Nut
Preventive Maintenance
1Unscrew the nut and remove the nut
and collet from the machine. Pull the
collet from the nut.
2Use a cotton swab to remove any
debris from the inside of the nut (use
a little spindle oil on the cotton swap
to help clean the threads).
3Clean any debris from both the collet
and the threaded portion of the
spindle with a clean cloth.
4Snap collet back into the nut and
reinstall the nut and collet back
into the machine (do not tighten at
this step).
5Install a new tool and reset the tool
life indicator.
The spindle collet and nut periodically need to be removed and any ceramic material cleaned from the threads. If you are having
difculty loading tools, perform this cleaning procedure.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Fan Filter
Contact Your Dealer for Technical Support
Repair
1Power down the system and remove the AC cord from the
rear of the unit. Grasp the plastic fan lter cover, unsnap the
cover from the lter housing and remove the lter.
2Rinse the lter out with warm water and a small amount of
dish washing detergent.
The fan lter should be cleaned every six months of dirt and lint. To remove the lter, follow the steps below:
Each TS150 System has been manufactured and calibrated to specications. There are no serviceable or repairable components
within the system by the customer. Please do not attempt to disassemble any part of the system. Any such action may void the
product warranty. In the event you should experience a product failure, please call your Technical Support Specialist.
3Allow the lter to dry completely. Reinsert it into the lter
housing and replace the plastic cover.
4Reattach the power cord to the AC supply and power-up
system.
