Anti-soiling concept
The anti-soling concept decreases the soiling and
wear of sensitive machine parts.
NOTICE
Machine damage when dry machining without an air
extraction system
When dry machining, an operational external air
extraction system must be installed. Otherwise, the
machine will get soiled over time and become
defective.
Always use a correctly installed and operational
external air extraction system during dry machin-
ing.
The anti-soiling concept consists of:
nThe external air extraction system | An
external suction unit creates a vacuum in the
working chamber and extracts machining debris
from it.
nAir that is emitted into the working chamber |
Blows machining debris away from the spindle
and other machine parts.
nThe internal vacuum sensor | Constantly mon-
itors the vacuum in the working chamber.
The anti-soiling concept does not replace the
regular cleaning of the machine. Without
regular cleaning, the machine life decreases
significantly.
CNC computer
To work with the machine, use the PrograMill CAM PC
with the PrograMill CAM software and PrograMill CNC:
nPrograMill CAM | A CAM application for creating
and calculating virtual jobs.
nPrograMill CNC | A CNC application for
machining jobs and maintaining the machine.
To create and design the dental objects you also need
a CAD application (sold separately by specialist
dealers).
Sound emission
The actual sound emission of the machine varies
heavily depending on the manufacturing material and
the machining conditions.
If the machine is exceptionally loud, check the fol-
lowing operating conditions:
nCleanliness of the material holder
nCondition of the tools
nMaterial quality
If loud noise cannot be avoided, wear ear pro-
tection during machining.
Sound measurement
Measuring conditions:
nProcessing material: CoCr
nTool status: new
nMeasured value: sound power level (distance:
1m)
nMeasurement according to ISO 3746, survey
method 3

Installing the pneumatics
WARNING
Risk of injuries through leaking compressed air and
lashing pneumatic hoses
Open or loose pneumatic connections can cause
severe injuries.
Ensure that during installation and maintenance of
the pneumatic hoses and of the compressed air
regulator compressed air is not conducted through
the hoses and connections.
Before conducting compressed air through the
hoses and connectors, verify that the hoses are
securely inserted into the correct connectors and
that they are not damaged. This also applies to the
compressed air regulator.
Do not conduct compressed air through damaged
hoses and connectors.
NOTICE
The spindle may suffer bearing damage and electrical
damage if the compressed air is contaminated
The incoming compressed air must be dry and oil-free
according to ISO 8573-1:2010 because the
compressed air regulator only serves as an indicator
for contaminated air.

Ensure that the compressed air meets the above
requirements.
Only connect the machine to the compressed air
supply if the compressed air regulator is properly
installed.
Connect the machine to the compressed air supply
only via the provided compressed air regulator.
You can find specific values and additional require-
ments in the chapter on technical data.  Technical
data – on page13
The machine requires the compressed air for the
following tasks:
nFor the opening and closing of the collet chuck
during tool changes.
nFor the spindle sealing air which prevents foreign
bodies from entering the spindle.
nFor the sealing air in the working chamber that
keeps machining debris away from sensitive
machine parts.
Overview compressed air regulator
The machine is connected to the external air supply
via a compressed air regulator. You can use this regu-
lator to monitor and regulate the pressure of the
incoming air.
The compressed air regulator is supplied with the
machine and needs to be mounted on the side of the
machine housing when installing the machine. The
regulator has the following connections:
n1/8” internal thread, fitted with male compressed
air connector to connect the external compressed
air supply
n6 mm push-in fitting to connect the machine.
NOTICE
Failure of the water separator caused by a wrong
alignment of the compressed air regulator
The compressed air regulator must always be
mounted in an upright position because otherwise
the water separator will not work.
Mount the compressed air regulator in an upright
position.
On the left side of the machine are two bores which
you can use to mount the compressed air regulator on
the machine.
Mount the compressed air regulator in an upright
position, using the oval-head screws provided in
the bores.
