| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for machining blanks of high-strength material, such as ceramics, in dental applications by means of a cut-ting machine (10), such as a milling- or a grinding machine. The invention implies storing at least one set of data programs, wherein each set of data programs comprising instructions required for the machining of one of said blanks; machining of said blank in dependence of said set of data programs; changing cutting tools in de-pendence of said set of data programs; inspecting cutting tool quality prior to and/or after said change of cutting tools; monitoring vibrations of said machine (10) during said machining; cooling said cutting tool by means of liquid during said machining; and changing blanks in dependence of said set of data programs. With such an apparatus and method high-strength ceramics may effectively be produced in an automatic and cost-effective way. |
