2 System Overview The Planmeca PlanMill 30 S from E4D Technologies is a state of the art computer driven 4 axis milling machine with a single spindle designed to create dental restorations based on digital images acquired from the design components of the Planmeca FIT System. Operators use the scanner to scan the image of a prepped tooth or teeth into the system. Software on the system is used to design and refine a restoration before being transmitted to the Milling Center via a TCP/IP network connection. The mill then uses the digitally captured data to create the restoration. You connect the mill to the other components via a conventional wired Ethernet network. The mill can also be a shared resource for multiple Planmeca FIT systems. This document is the property of D4D Technologies, LLC (dba E4D Technologies).

6 Mechanical Design The milling center is composed of a number of sub-assemblies. Each sub-assembly is relatively self-contained in form and function. The major sub-assemblies include the Motion Base, Control System, Circulation System, Pneumatics System, and the Enclosure. 6.1 Motion Base The motion base of the milling unit includes the physical structure and various components to allow for three linear positioning axes, rotating mandrel axis, a tool changer, an automatic chucking spindle, and a grinding chamber. This structure is supported and isolated from the rest of the machine by four rubber isolation dampers to minimize external vibrations to the rest of the machine and to minimize any effects of an uneven support surface.

6.2 XYZ Motion Stage As the name implies, the motion stage has 3 linear degrees of freedom in the X, Y, and Z directions. Each stage uses precision mechanics combined with close loop servo motor control to precisely position each axis simultaneously during the tool path execution. The XYZ stage is assembled such that the Z carriage carries both the X & Y, and the Y carriage carries the X, and the X carries the spindle.

This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies. This is a computer controlled document. Manual revisions are not permissible...
6.3 Z-Carriage The z carriage utilizes four precision linear bearings which travel along to two linear rails that are mounted in a vertical orientation to the main baseplate. A Z carriage is mounted to the 4 linear bearing and may translate along the linear rails via a rotary servo motor and ballscrew assembly. Each of these components is of high precision and provides the ability to precisely position the axis with micron level resolution. Additionally, the preload of the bearings and ballscrew was specifically selected to provide the stiffness required to maintain positional accuracy during machining operations. The servo motor is directly coupled to the ballscrew and utilizes a rotary encoder which allows for closed loop control to endure long term positional repeatability.

This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies. This is a computer controlled document. Manual revisions are not permissible...
6.4 Y-Carriage Two Y axis linear rails are mounted to the Z carriage in the horizontal orientation and have a Y carriage mounted to two linear bearings which translate (front to rear) along the rails. The preload of the bearings was specifically selected to provide the stiffness required to maintain positional accuracy during machining operations. The linear servo motor is directly coupled to the Y carriage and utilized a linear encoder also directly coupled to the carriage. These two components provide for closed loop control with direct feedback indicating actual position of the carriage assembly and elimination any concern of backlash or slop in the axis.

6.5 X-Carriage and Spindle An X axis linear rail is mounted to the Y carriage in the horizontal orientation and has two linear bearings which may translate (left-right) along the rail. The preload of the bearings was specifically selected to provide the stiffness required to maintain positional accuracy during machining operations. The linear servo motor is directly coupled to the X carriage and utilizes the same linear encoder as the Y axis and is also directly coupled to the X carriage. These two components provide for closed loop control with direct feedback indication the actual position of the carriage and eliminating any concern of backlash or slop in the axis. The simplicity of the liner motor drive system used on both the Y and X axes provides for ease of assembly and long service life with minimal components.

The X carriage is designed specifically to clamp the automatic chucking spindle. The spindle is capable of spinning grit grinding tools at speeds of up to 100,000 RPM. These tools are used for machining fully and partially sintered ceramic and composite materials. A collet is part of the spindle that clamps onto the grinding tool. The collet may be opened and closed pneumatically through software control. When combined with the tool changer assembly, this automatic chucking feature provides the ability for the machine to automatically change the tool when necessary without operator intervention.

This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies. This is a computer controlled document. Manual revisions are not permissible...
6.6 Tool Changer Assembly The milling center includes a tool changer, which provides the ability for the machine to change tools under software control, without operator assistance. Since the tools have different lengths, the machine incorporates a means to detect the length of the tool to both detect the specific type of tool being used and to compensate for the wear of the tools between subsequent jobs. This is accomplished by pushing the non-spinning tool or grinder onto a ceramic block and detecting the obstruction through the control system. Because of the high stiffness of the mechanics and the sensitivity of the positional feedback of the control system very high sensitivity for the length detection can be achieved. The block from which the dental restoration is machined is held by a mandrel that is glued to the block and inserted into the mandrel holder that is mounted to the tool changer assembly and is spatially fixed. The mandrel holder includes a quick-release mechanism (cam) to allow blocks to be easily inserted and removed. The block/mandrel assembly can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical position. This document is the property of D4D Technologies, LLC (dba E4D Technologies). This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies.
6.7 Grind Chamber The grind chamber allows both operator access to the mandrel holder and spindle for simple operations when it is open and also protects the operator from flying debris and provides coolant containment during the grinding process when closed. It encloses the working volume of the milling machine and utilizes a spring open operated lid with pneumatic latch release which provides the operator access when open. The lid may be closed manually by the operator. When closed, two magnets incorporated in the lid activate dual UL safety interlock switches which complete the electrical circuit allowing power to be provided if commanded by the software. Conversely, the switches provide a safety mechanism for the machine when the lid is opened by positively opening the electrical circuit and preventing electrical power to the servo and spindle motors. The grind chamber mounts to the vertical baseplate and has the tool changer assembly protruding into the grind chamber from the rear, thus filling the rear section. The lower section provides a drain which allows coolant and small debris to exit the chamber and drain back into the tank. The lid encloses the top region of the chamber, both sides of the chamber utilize sliding wall assemblies to allow free movement of the spindle through their XYZ range of travel.

This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies.
6.8 Rear Utility Panel The rear of the milling center is a sheet metal panel. The panel has several components attached to its inside face which include: • 48VDC Power Supply • Power entry module • SBC • Pneumatics module with air multiplier Access to these components for service is enhanced with the ability to “fold back” the panel from the frame on an integrated hinge with built in stop. Both the SBC and the pneumatics module slide onto the Utility Panel from the top and are secured with two screws easily accessed from the top. The power supply and power entry module both secure to the panel with screws from the rear or outside face of the panel. Should additional access be required, the panel can easily be lifted off the hinge and free of the frame rails. This document is the property of D4D Technologies, LLC (dba E4D Technologies). This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies.
6.9 Pneumatics System Several components on the milling unit require pressurized air to operate. The control and use of pressurized air with these components is known as the pneumatics system. This machine is divided into two systems, high and low pressure. The high-pressure system handles all the actuators in the system. Actuators are devices that move in one way or another. These items typically require high pressure (85 psig) but little flow (<0.2 SCFM). The low-pressure system is used to provide purge air to the spindle and consumes quite a bit more flow (1 CFM) but at a lower pressure (35psig).

This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies. This is a computer controlled document. Manual revisions are not permissible...
6.9.1 High Pressure System Major components of the high-pressure system include: • Air board • Air multiplier • Water separator unit • Filter/regulators • Solenoid control valves • Pneumatic actuator Pressurized air is supplied via an external source which is connected directly to the rear of the machine. The quality of the provided air should be such that liquid water is prevented from condensing out of the compressed air during use. This is obtained by use of a dryer on the compressed air being used. The water separator unit acts as a small reservoir for the system while also allowing a means to collect and remove liquid water from the system. Control of the pressurized air to the actuators is handled by the bank of software controlled electrically driven solenoid valves mounted on a common manifold. Each solenoid is digitally controlled by the computer and can provide pressurized air on demand to the pneumatic actuator. Each actuator’s rate of operation can be fine-tuned by using adjustable inline flow control valves that can control the volumetric flow to and from the component, thus controlling the rate of extension and retraction.

This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies.
6.9.2 Low Pressure System Purge air flow to the spindle is controlled via a solenoid valve on the manifold. When the valve is opened, air is allowed to flow through a fixed orifice Flow Control and an air filter then onto the spindle where it flows past the bearings providing a cooling effect and out through the nose of the spindle where is positive pressure is created minimizing the likelihood of foreign fluid or debris entry into the spindle.

6.10 Circulation System Milling fully or partially sintered ceramic requires a wet grinding process. The milling center utilizes a circulation system to deliver and recycle water-based coolant to the grinding surface. The major components of the circulation system include: • Circulation tank • Pump • Sensors • Plumbing • Coolant The milling center software monitors the age of the coolant and the amount of milling that has occurred. The operator is prompted when it is time the change the coolant. This document is the property of D4D Technologies, LLC (dba E4D Technologies).

6.12 Control System The milling center control system is the description given to the electrical components used to drive and control the electro-mechanical components of the machine via software. This system consists of the following components: • Single board computer (SBC) • LCD touch display • Quad motion driver (QMD) • Bridge board • Power supply • Power entry module • Air board • Water board tool break board • Tool changer board This document is the property of D4D Technologies, LLC (dba E4D Technologies). This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies.
6.12.1 Single Board Computer (SBC) & LCD Touch Display The SBC runs an embedded Windows 8 O.S. configured specifically for operating the milling machine with only the necessary operating system features enabled and boots directly into the milling center application. Interaction with the operator is solely through an LCD and touchscreen display screen using the graphical user interface (GUI) for operation of the machine. In addition to running the milling center application, the SBC also runs the tool path generation program (Job Server) and ACS Soft Controller for low level motion control. The jobs are received from the Design Center application via a wired or wireless network connection then displayed in the job list. Upon being selected by the operator, the job is sent to the job server where the toolpath coordinates are generated and provided back to the milling center for execution by the ACS Soft Controller (SC). The SC is uniquely configured to operate independently on 1of the 4 cores of the Intel I7 CPU. It uses a separate real-time operating system (RTOS) thus it is completely independent of the Windows 8 O.S. which runs on the 3 remaining cores. The SC handles all communication and control of the low-level motion control hardware and communicates to it through a dedicated deterministic Ethernet protocol called EtherCAT. The milling center application communicated with the SC through the use of an API as well as buffered programs which are executed directly on the SC. The LCD Touch Display incorporates a high resolution (800 x 480) true color (64-bit) display with an active touch panel and two capacitive touch user buttons. The touch panel supports both multi-touch and gesturing inputs. The LCD and touch display are for normal operator interaction with the system. While the two user buttons are for powering Up/Down the machine and executing a stop operation through the software. Specifically, the green power button operates as a soft start and soft shutdown button and emulates the operation of the power button on a typical PC. The red stop button is always available to the operator and initiates a stop requires through the software to neatly abort any operation which may be in process. Each button provides an increased illumination visual feedback to the operator to indicate when it is being pressed. The input signals from these buttons and the LED feedback are controlled by the PIC processor. Although not required for normal operation, additional provisions are provided on the side of the milling machine to allow the operator to connect and external monitor, keyboard, and/or mouse.

This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies.
6.12.2 Quad Motion Driver (QMD) Quad motion driver describes the EtherCAT 4-axis servo amplifier controller module. The module contains two Dual Axis ACS Universal Drive Modules (UDMCpc) each capable of driving 2 axes with feedback, a pcb, and mounting plate/hardware. Two QMD’s are required for the motion base for the left and right sides. Mounting of the QMD can be configured so that the same components can be configured and installed on either the LHS or RHS of the machine. One QMD drives a complete XYZ linear positioning stage and the corresponding spindle. In addition to controlling these motors, there is both dedicated and user specified digital inputs/outputs (DIO) used for other simple operations on the system. QMD’s reside on the EtherCAT network and are fully controlled by the SC. These IO signals are passed to the bridge board where they can be easily distributed as needed via the satellite boards. Additionally, the UDMpc modules provide a Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality to prevent the moving of motors when the lid to the mill is open. These signals are passed to the bridge board. Each QMD mounts to the vertical baseplate via the mounting plate which serves both as a physical mount and a heat sink. The tow UDM’s are mounted directly to this plate, which provides an efficient heat sink to the baseplate. The PCB plugs directly into both of the UDM’s and provides the required electrical connections to other systems in the machine. Additionally, the PCB incorporates a number of electrical capacitors which provide moderate electrical capacitive storage. The stored electrical energy provides extra power to the motion controllers during peak power usage. This strategy reduces the overall power requirements of the mill while still providing high performance. Each UDMpc can control 2 motors at up to 10 Amps / 20 Amps Peak per axis. Two of these modules are used on the mill to control the positioning axes and the spindle. This document is the property of D4D Technologies, LLC (dba E4D Technologies). This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies.

6.12.2.1 XYZ Motor Control The XYZ motion control is performed by the UDMpc with an advanced PIV cascaded structure at a 20 KHz update rate. Motor position is provided by magnetic encoders for the X and Y axes with a resolution rate of 1 um. The motor position feedback of the Z axis is provided by a 2000/count per revolution encoder. The Z axis ballscrew moves at 2mm per revolution providing an effective resolution of 1 um. 6.12.2.2 Spindle Control The spindle motors are controlled through the UDM’s using a proprietary DSP program along with E4D developed buffer programs. This document is the property of D4D Technologies, LLC (dba E4D Technologies). This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies.
6.12.3 Bridgeboard The Bridgeboard connects to the QMD and provides electrical connections to all other electrical components in the control system for communication and supply electrical power. The EtherCAT connection between the UDM and the SC also is provided through the bridgeboard. The bridgeboard also contains the power supply monitoring circuits, redundant Safety Torque Off (STO) monitoring, the 48 to 24 volt power supply, and fan controller circuits. The bridgeboard incorporates an embedded PIC processor running E4D developed firmware which handles monitoring and communications between lower level boards such as the water, air, and lighting chamber boards. The PIC processor generates PWM signals required by the water pump and RGB chamber lighting. Communication between the firmware and the milling application is provided through a proprietary digital interface established between the QD<’s and the Bridgeboard PC. The pic firmware is structured as a main “super-loop”, running constantly, that checks each time through a set of tasks that may need to be performed. The code is written such that it does not stop and wait on something to happen or finish. The state is checked, stored, and then left alone unless or until immediate action can be taken. The code takes advantage of the free- running hardware microsecond and millisecond timers to track elapsed time, to mark past events, and to schedule future actions. Handling of the mill power supply, tool changer, and ACS SPI (serial peripheral interface) communication is performed by dedicated state machines for each, while handling of high level functionality, such as polled inputs, ADC measurements, and debug output, are performed from the main loop. Two priorities of interrupts are used judiciously in an effort to meet real time deadlines and also to perform small tasks effectively in parallel with the main super-loop.

This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies.
6.12.4 Air Utility Board The air utility board contains driving circuits for the pneumatic solenoids, the water separator drain valve, high and low pressure measurement sensors, and a driving circuit to control and optional air compressor. 6.12.5 Water Utility Board The water utility board contains driving circuits for PWM control of the coolant pump and grind chamber RGB LED’s. It also contains the circuitry to read the water pressure, high and low water level sensors, and tank and lid interlock sensors. 6.12.6 Stepper Rocker Board The stepper rocker board is used to control and monitor the position of the mandrel during the milling process. The board contains the circuitry to position and rotate the mandrel during the milling process. 6.12.7 Tool Break Detection System 6.12.7.1 Tool Break Sensor Board If the grinding bur breaks and is undetected while milling a job, the job will be incomplete and a new ceramic block must be used when a new tool is installed. However, if burr breakage can be detected, it is possible for the mill to change to another tool and resume milling a few steps before the breakage was detected. An accelerometer is mounted to the spindle in order to detect tool breakage during grinding the monitoring the signature frequencies of the spindle. 6.12.7.2 Tool Break Processor Board An embedded microcontroller on the tool break processor board is responsible for high speed sampling of the accelerometer output. The processor packages the data in frames which are passed to the milling center software where FFT analysis is performed to detect changes in the signature frequencies of the spindle.

This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies.
6.12.8 Power Supply & Power Entry Module The milling center is designed to utilize most common worldwide AC power sources available from 100 – 240 Vac 50 – 60 Hz. A suitable power cord is provided for the region to which it is sold and interfaces to the milling machine at the power entry module. This module provides an internal thermal circuit breaker to protect house power from excessive power draw in the event of a failure on the system. A main disconnect switch is also integrated into the power entry module and will remove all power from the machine. The power entry module connects directly to the 1000W 48VDC main power supply that supplies power to the UDM servo amplifiers on the QMD’s. A second smaller 48 VDC to 24 VDC power supply is mounted on the bridge board and provides power to all other components including: • UDM logic • Solenoids • Waterboard • Airboard The SBC utilizes an internal 24 VDC to 12 VDC power supply to power the computer. Numerous alarm signals from the power supply monitoring circuits are monitored by the PIC processor and passed up to the milling center software where alarm information can be displayed and logged.

This document shall not be disclosed, copied, reproduced, or used for any purpose without prior or written permission from an authorized representative of E4D Technologies.
6.13 Enclosure The machine is enclosed with a combination of injection-molded plastic covers and sheet metal panels. This design provides both and ergonomically appealing package and protects the operator or others from harm resulting from the moving components within the machine. There are basically five pieces which make up the complete cover assembly: • Top cover • Front door • Rear panel • Left side panel • Right side panel Each of these components is secured to a sheet metal frame attached to the bottom plate of the mill. The design of the covers is such that the majority of service operations can be addressed by removing just the top cover. Access to the securing bolts for the top cover is provided by opening of the front door. Should additional access be required, each side panel can be easily lifted free once the top cover has been removed. The rear cover can be easily rotated back and/or lifted free of the frame. Cooling fans are positioned on both side panels and take advantage of the natural heat transfer and adequately cool all electronic components located inside the unit.

10 Calibration The milling machine must be calibrated to operate correctly and achieve the high degree of accuracy for dental restorations. The calibration procedure combines both the origin calibration and the tool changer calibration into one routine. 10.1 Origin The origin of the mill is a point in space which defines X=0, Y=0, and Z=0 for each of the axis and the toolpath is used to grind the dental restorations. The point is located on the front face of a mandrel (without a block) and centered both horizontally and vertically. We use the tip of the tool to define this point. 10.2 Tool Changer The tool changer calibration procedure aligns the tool changer with the spindle to allow for proper pickup and drop off of the tools into the tool holder pockets. This process also provides the mill with the means to measure the lengths of the grinding tools following replacement or post grinding process. The calibration process automatically calibrates the tool changer. Tools Required: • Tool Extractor • 30S Calibration Kit o USB Thumb Drive o Probe Tool o Calibration Die Note: Serial number on the USB must match the number on the calibration die. 10.3 Calibration Process. 10.3.1 From the job screen, select Options. 10.3.2 This document is the property of D4D Technologies, LLC (dba E4D Technologies).
