    Exocad adding new thickness of Blanks for milling

    As far as i know you can not update your camming Library with the AG system. I mean you can edit the XML file but once you do that a message pops up saying you have altered the original file and now the camming software will not work properly. I tested this because i went into the XML to change...

    Hell everyone, So I just received a call from one of our clients that we installed a Motion 2 DNA mill too, and now they are trying to change out the 98MM holder but the bolt is stuck and wont turn to unscrew. They tried WD-40 spray on the bolt, and that did not help. I suggested a good air...

    crowns/puck assumption

    depends on the work flow. usually i mill a few at a time, and I usually 2 or 3 times a week will do an "overnight mill" which usually will consist of anywhere from 8-12 units. It will definitely make a difference if you are milling multiple units to overlap the circles and if u have too...

    crowns/puck assumption

    i agree with sideshowbob, if you know what you r doing 25-30 units in ZR is definately not unrealistic. U must be using crappy ZR or a a crappy mill because like sideshowbob i would be more than willing to share pics of puck i have nested. not hard to fit that many units at all when using a...

    crowns/puck assumption

    i average 25-30 units a puck with a mix of posterior and anterior units. Can't be afraidr to over lap milling circles close especially if your the only one doing the milling. i think the lowest number I got out of a ZR puck is 25 units and 20 of them were molars. if you are experienced in...

    (Help!) Multi-Unit bridge issues.

    we used to have this issue on our bridges too. Tried everything from stabilizer bars and editing our sintering times. nothing worked, then we milled out of wax and still had an issue with fit. bridge fit perfect on each prep individual so we looked at design and found our problem. The...

    Grinders keep burning emax and breaking tools

    what kind of restoration are you trying to mill when the tool burns out, and what mill are you using. We have had this issue before with our Motion2(1st generation) mill, and it ended up being a mixture of dirty coolant, and the way the restoration was nested. When nesting make sure your...

    hell ya I'm joining AG team

    EXOcam is the same platform at the camming software for AG mills. Both use the ModuleWorks platform so both camming softwares are the same pretty much(except color and layout). As as far as I know both camming softwares dont have any setting were you can add modified tools and the strategies...

    CERAMILL THERM 3 ERROR E11 HEATING OFF

    sounds like you might have a bad heating element or over time of heating an cooling, the connections that you put on at top of machine to connect all elements to same circuit could have a loose nut/bolt. I would carefully disconnect each element and pull them out and inspect each one for any...

    Need help with our Roland DWX-50

    yeah I was looking at that service that they offer and let my management team team know about it and i think we might just do that because after the time it takes me to take apart and we order what we need it will cost around the same price as if we just had Roland come in and do it for us. thx...

    Need help with our Roland DWX-50

    Hello everyone, So i drew the short straw today, and got handed the task of trying to repair our Roland DWX-50. So our machine is no longer under warranty so we are on our own for repairs or pay a decent amount to get it repaired, so of course upper management wants us to try and fix it on our...

    Milling bur recommendations? (For ROLAND)

    we use TD dental tools with our AG mills and have had no issues with them. Get right around the 400 units they say u can get, and for the price you cant go wrong. and everything mills really nice. barely any green state work is needed, (well when the design is good)

    Roland dwx50 issue

    sounds like you might have generated a file for one size disk and then put a smaller size disk in machine to mill. Reason I say this is because sometime back, i was on vacation and the person filling in for me ended up grabbing a 14mm disc and inputted it in the system as a 16mm by accident so...
