Z4 – Operating regulations
3 Operating regulations
If you violate the following regulations, you may lose your entitlement to benefits.
NOTICE
Machine damage if you violate these regulations
If you violate the following regulations, your machine may get damaged and/ or cause damage in the surrounding area(s).
Thoroughly follow all instructions and information in this section.
Intended use
The machine and the manufacturing software have been designed for the commercial creation of dental objects by specially trained persons. The objects require additional work before their use on patients.
Only process materials that you can select in the manufacturing software.
Only use the machine and manufacturing software in a commercial environment.
Before creating jobs, verify if the objects being pre­pared may be utilized at the place of use accord­ing to local and/ or national regulations or other authorized organizations or entities (e.g. pro­fessional associations, health authorities). In par­ticular, verify if the material is approved for the machined object type and if the object type is designed in accordance with applicable reg­ulations. Neither the manufacturing software nor the machine will inform you about possible reg­ulatory infringements, but will execute jobs in accordance with the preferences and materials set by the user.
Verify that each object type and each material in your jobs are authorized manufacturing materials. If mandated by local or national regulations, obtain relevant authorization from the responsible organ­izations or entities (e.g. professional associations, health authorities).
Only manufacture objects which correspond to the object types that you can select in the man­ufacturing software. While you can import/ man­ufacture any other objects as well, neither the manufacturing software nor the machine are designed for these other objects and should not be used in this way.
Do not manufacture implants or parts of objects that are designed to have contact with implants. These parts include parts of two-part abutments which contain the connection geometry for the implant. Do not manipulate the connection geo­metry of prefabricated abutments (“prefab abut­ments”) and you must always check finished objects for accurate connection geometries (i.e. that connection geometries of finished jobs have not been damaged).
Controlling the machine through software
You control the machine through specially designed applications which are supplied with the machine.
Always use the latest program version that officially supports your machine.
Before installing or operating the machine, read the documentation forthe applications.
Ensure that your CAM computer meets all system requirements.
Maintenance and cleaning
Maintenance and cleaning is part of standard machine usage.
Clean and maintain the machine as required. Only then can the machine reach a long service life.
Spindle
The spindle of your machine is a high-precision instru­ment.
Do not use unbalanced tools at high rotational speeds. Such an imbalance puts a great strain on the spindle’s ball bearings, which can cause the bearings to be damaged.
When working in the working chamber, do not apply manual pressure against the spindle.
Unattended operation
If the machine runs unattended, the risk of material damage is increased.
Only allow unattended operation of the machine to occur if the following conditions are met:
The national and local laws allow it.
n
n
The working chamber of the machine is com­pletely clean.
n
Unauthorized users cannot access the machine.
The room in which the machine is located has an

8 Maintenance and do-
it-yourself
Some day-to-day basic maintenance and preventive maintenance is essential to keep the machine mech­anics and electric components in good condition for proper machining results.
It is your responsibility to make sure that preventive maintenance, as well as basic maintenance, is performed.
You are the only one who can ensure that your machine receives the proper maintenance care. You are a vital link in the maintenance chain.
Basic maintenance
Basic maintenance includes tasks which are part of everyday operation. You are responsible to ensure that these tasks are carried out according to the main­tenance table. You only need minimal manual skills for these tasks and most required tools are provided with the machine.
Maintenance section
For your convenience, the machine lists all basic main­tenance tasks in the screen. In the the individual tasks are due.
When you have marked a maintenance task as complete, its time interval is reset and the list is updated accordingly.

Where to get service?
Customer service is your main contact for all service related questions. They will provide you with spare parts, maintenance tips and they will perform preventive maintenance for you on request.
When your machine is delivered or installed, ask the service technician for contact details for the customer service team. We also recommend scheduling the first preventive maintenance appointment at this point to ensure your machine gets proper maintenance.
Definition of wear parts
The machine and the extra equipment are warranted for a period of 24 months or 2,000 operating hours, whatever comes first. The warranty covers defects in materials or fabrication as long as the regulations for using the machine in all documents are followed.
Of course, the warranty also covers wear parts as long as their failure cannot be attributed to the function­related abrasion. The wear parts that are mentioned in the maintenance table can already wear down within the warranty period due to their normal function. The average useful life of the wear parts can be seen in the maintenance table.
Use these values to determine operating costs, to plan your spare part stock as well as to create individual maintenance and service plans.
Maintenance table

Preventive maintenance
Preventive maintenance for this machine has to be scheduled every 2years, or after 1,000operating hours at the latest.
To schedule preventive maintenance, contact cus­tomer service.

Calibrating the axes
NOTICE
Deterioration of machining results caused by an incorrect calibration
At delivery, your machine is already calibrated. As long as your machining results are accurate, a new calibration is not necessary. A calibration takes much time and will deteriorate the machining results if it is improperly executed.
In case of inaccurate machining results, try adjust­ing the machining conditions first: Check the fix­ation and quality of the blank and the state of the tool.
Before

Replacing the tool magazine inserts
When tool magazine inserts are worn, they should be replaced. New inserts are delivered without holes for the tools. The holes must be drilled into the inserts with the machine.
Your machine comes with tool magazine inserts
n
as spare parts and with the drill tool.
Additional inserts and drill tools are available via
n
customer service.
Customer service exchanges the tool magazine inserts during preventive maintenance. If required, you can exchange tool magazine inserts yourself and have customer service drill the holes into the inserts via remote maintenance.
You can replace tool magazine inserts as follows:
1.
Contact customer service. They will assist you with drilling the holes into the new inserts. Other­wise, you wont be able to insert tools into the tool magazines.
2.
Remove all tools from the desired magazine.
3.
Remove the screws from the bottom of the tool magazine and put them aside.
4.
Firmly press against the tool magazine insert.
The insert moves out of the magazine together with its retainer.
By calibrating the machine with test and calibration specimens, it may be possible to improve the machining results. Customer service will assist you with this.
Your machine is delivered with a calibration set. Customer service will need this set for calibration. It contains the following parts:
Calibration blanks which are used to mill cal-
n

Exchanging the view window wiper
The view window wiper removes liquid from the back of the view window when the working chamber door opens and closes. You need to exchange it according to the interval given in the maintenance table or when the wiping effect is too low.
The view window wiper is fixated by a two-part holder.
You exchange the view window wiper as follows:
1.
Open the working chamber door.
2.
Unscrew the 3 screws (marked orange in the fol­lowing figure) that attach the lower part of the holder to the upper part. Remove the lower part of the holder (marked blue in the figure).
6.
Screw down the filter onto the coupling with your hand. Do not tighten the filter completely yet.
If you tighten the filter now, you may damage the new coupling when you attach the tank to the machine. As a result, the coupling will no longer be water tight.
