I just recently bought a full cad cam system,no experience in digital till now.
Things have been going pretty well,still allot to learn and get better at.
Today i was milling 7 copings, the machine finished but copings where only partially milled.
I have a dwx51d mill and was told to do a auto correction about once a week.
Well i ran the auto correction after about 19hrs.
Was milling great, now not to good. Did auto correction again no difference

What was the issue, if any, that made you want to be running auto correction early?

Could you please upload pictures of the partially milled copings, or explain in detail what partially milled means?
Do you have all the secondary anatomy, but the inside is undone or unfinished?
Did the inside of the coping get milled completely, but not the anatomy?
Does it look like the fine detail burr was just not used at all, but the other steps before that completed normally?

Lots of ways to be patially milled.

Did you ask your reseller for help yet? If so, what did they say?

I was going to post a photo,can't figure out how to insert attachment.
Was told to do the auto correction at the start of each week, seems that's not necessary.
It was the end of the day Friday so I haven't called CAP.

To insert a picture you have stored click the doodad between the smiley face and the filmstrip pieces in the bar above where you type messages.

wowzers,

It is your CAM, it skipped the finishing pass...load up the same job and run a simulation, see what it shows.

What CAM are you using? Are you using the original USB cable that was supplied by Roland?

Well i thought id do a couple units in wax,still not good but better.
So tried them again and they were milled correctly.
Then i milled 3 units in ziconia out of the original 7 they turned out alright.
Thanks for the help, be nice to know what happened so i can avoid in future.
And Evan, i have sum3d software and using the original usb cable.

this is an old glitch.

you simply have to recalculate. so do an adjustment to the placement of the unit, like tilt it a few degrees, or move a sprue.

ive had this so many times. not unique to any specific type of crown, coping on such. its just a glitch.

im guessing you checked the box for rough milling. its super fast....but finishes with a 2mm i believe.
rerun the calc and be sure the check boxes are correct (sum3 i am guessing since its from CAP)

also, i was told the same but running the correction once a week for a small lab is overkill. depending upon how busy we are we run the auto correct 1-2 per month. we also check the collet at that time to be sure its still tight.
keep the chamber clean daily and the corrections are much less needed.

2mm exterior finishing experimental (less detail/faster milling)
i think that is the box you are talking about,did not have it checked.
yes mine is small lab just me, i did wait till almost 20hrs to run auto correction.
will plan on doing it like you said once a month.
