It is to prevent not only the hazardous milling dust from getting out of the machine, but also to block milling dust from going inside the mechanical parts like the spindle unit, which may cause malfunctions of the device. Be sure to install the vacuum system which meets the required performance.
 

Dust Collector:

• Static Pressure: 4 kPa or more
• Air Flow: 2㎥/min or more

Compressor:

• Air Pressure: 0.2 to 1.0 MPa
• Air Capacity: 30L/min or more
• Contamination of the compressed air by foreign material is undesirable. Use an oil-free compressor.
• Moist air may cause rust. Use a device equipped with a dryer.
• Stable pressure is required. Select a source that has an adequate tank capacity.
• A hose (outer diameter: 6 mm (polyurethane tube)) is required.  

Approximately between 20 to 40 pieces.
* Available amount varies according to the shape of the restorations and/or CAM software settings.
 

Japanese, English, and Chinese (simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters) correspond. For the language not supported, English will be displayed.

RML-1 and NC code 
* The milling data created by supported CAM software can be used. 
 

VPanel and Windows driver are bundled. VPanel is a program to operate the DWX-51D on your computer screen. It has functions to output milling data, perform maintenance, and make various corrections. In addition, it displays error messages of DWX-51D. Windows driver is a program to control the milling machine through your PC.
 

CAM software is developed by our partner companies. Please find details in the dental partner page. 
 

The DWX-51D is compatible with the NC code (G code).
* The NC code (G code) commands created by supported CAM software can be used.
 

It is possible if you send a drilling command from your CAM software.
 

Shank Diameter: 4 mm 
Length: 40 to 55 mm
 

USB connection (compliant with Revision 1.1). A USB cable is included. The USB3.0 cable cannot be used.
The use of USB hubs are not supported. If a USB hub is used, there is a possibility that the machine will not function.
 

The cable included is 3.0 meters long. It is recommended to use the bundled cable for the DWX-51D.
 

The machine makes an emergency stop as a safety measure, where the milling is suspended.
 

Yes, you can.

• The sending of e-mails may be blocked according to settings of the security software, etc.
• If e-mails cannot be sent, check the settings of the security software used as anti-virus software.
• Please consult with your network administrator for details on e-mail settings.
• VPanel does not support TLS connections (STARTTLS).

Yes, the DWX series are capable of milling composite resin blocks, when used with the following items. For more details, please contact our local resellers.

• Milling burs for composite resin blocks (Roland DG ZDB-D series tools are recommended.)
• CAM templates for composite resin blocks

All composite resin blocks that are attachable to the DWX series can be milled. (as for August 2015)
 

The milling time for one block when using the genuine ZDB tool is shown below.
* Please note that the data is a rough indication and the actual time varies depending on the CAM settings
 

The ZDB series milling burs can be purchased from our local resellers.
 

The chart below shows the number of prostheses the ZDB series milling burs can cut.

• Please note that the data is a rough indication and the actual numbers vary depending on the material and design
• The ZDB series milling burs are not recommended for milling zirconia, PMMA nor wax materials

The lifetime of the ZDB series milling burs can be monitored by using the "Tool Management" function of the VPanel. The chart below shows rough indications of the lifetime of each burs. Please refer to the User's Manual for more details.
 

Is the front cover open?
Keep the front cover closed during startup. For safety, initialization is not performed when the cover is open at startup.

Is the milling bur caught on anything?
The milling bur attached to the spindle unit may fail to perform initialization if it is caught on the workpiece or rotary axis unit. Try to detach the milling bur using the emergency release function in VPanel.

Is anything caught on the spindle unit or rotary axis unit?
Open the maintenance cover, and make sure that no workpiece or milling waste is caught.
 

Is the front cover open?
This machine restricts some operations when the front cover is open. Close the cover.

Are you wearing gloves?
The operation button will not respond if you are wearing gloves. Operate the button with a bare hand.

 

Is the cable connected?
Make sure that the cables are connected.
Refer to "Setup Guide" ("Connecting the Cables") to perform the work.

Is the driver installed correctly?
If the connection to the computer is not made in the procedure described, the driver may fail to install correctly. VPanel will not function normally if the driver is not configured correctly. Check again to ensure that the connection was made using the correct procedure.

Did you verify the connection procedure when connecting more than one machine?
There is a possibility that the connection procedure was performed incorrectly. Make sure that connections were performed correctly. Refer to "Setup Guide" ("Connecting Multiple Units") to perform the work.

Was the machine ID changed?
If the machine's ID has been changed, restart the machine.
 

Is the workpiece firmly secured in place?
Check the mounting condition of the workpiece. Fasten the workpiece in place securely so that it will not slip out of place or come loose because of milling bur pressure or vibration during milling.

Is the milling bur worn?
If the same milling bur is used for milling for a long period of time, it will become worn and affect milling
results. Try replacing the milling bur with a new one. The work time of the milling bur can also be managed in VPanel.

Are the milling conditions too strict?
Strict milling conditions may affect milling results. Review the CAM milling conditions."

* The replacement cycle is subject to usage conditions.

1. Tools: The tool(s) you set on the ATC magazine must be the same as the one(s) you configured in your CAM software.
2. Material: The size/ thickness of the material you set on the machine must be the same as the one you configured in your CAM software.
3. Stabilizing the Material:  The cap must be tightened firmly.
4. Dust Collector:  The power must be turned on.
5. Compressor:  Required amount of compressed air must be supplied.  

After a days work, clean the milling area using a brush or the dust collector. Also, clean the milling bur.
Clean off any milling waste around areas 1 to 3  in the following figure, as milling waste in these areas may affect the milling results. Use the Cleaning tool dialog box on the VPanel to clean the rotary axis unit.
 

Zirconia:  40 teeth
PMMA:  40 teeth
*This is a referential value when using one tool each for roughing and finishing. The replacement cycle varies according to usage conditions.
