with UCAN Mill Milling Discs
The correct milling parameters are a significant factor in the quality of milled restorations. They influence the entire machining process and determine how precisely, efficiently, and gently a restoration is produced.
The most important parameters include:
The milling parameters to be used always depend on the material, the machine, and the specific indication. This is because each material reacts differently to the milling process. In practice, milling parameters are therefore adjusted to ensure safe and reproducible results, ranging from rapid material removal to precise finishing.
Practical tip::
Many milling machines already use predefined templates for various materials materials. For optimal results, however, it is still advisable to check these settings regularly and compare them with the recommended material parameters.
| Process | Tool | Speed in n rpm | Z feed in ap mm | Feed rate in f mm/sec | Reduced feed rate f in mm/sec | Lateral path overlap during roughing in % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roughing | • Diameter 2,5 • 1 coated cutting edge | 22-25000 | 1 - 2,5 | 60 – 80 | 25 – 35 | 35 |
| Semi-finishing | • Diameter 2,5 • 1 coated cutting edge | 22-25000 | 0.25 -0,4 | 30 – 45 | 15 – 20 | - |
| Finishing | • Diameter 1 • 1 or 2 coated cutting edge | 26-30000 | 0,1 | 30 – 40 | 15 | - |
Note: The milling parameters listed here are provided for general guidance only. The optimal settings depend on the material, machine, tools, and the manufacturer’s specifications. The recommended parameters should always be checked and adjusted before use..
