Very impressive machine,
can a disk changer be added to this machine like some of the other VersaMills?

 

[brayks]

Unfortunately, not at this time.

That's very cool. What additional accessories are required to make it run productively? Minimum are compressor requirement, suction? What routine service requirements? A puck changer would be nice

Hi Doug,
I apologize for the delay in responding.
The only other items are, hyperDENT CAM software, grinding & metal tooling, coolant, suction, and CAD block jig if needed.
The attached should provide answers to your other questions.
Thanks
Steve

versamill has 2x as many tool pockets, and 2x the spindle power, and can mill disc titanium.

this one can't.

Based on what little substantive information I could find, there are more questions than answers.
Answers include:

• DS1 lower power spindle but from who is manufacturer & what model number. AC or like Versamill, DC motor? (DC motor more consistent/higher torque throughout rpm range whereas AC motor provides less torque at higher rpm's).
• Just as importantly, what spindle driver is used (this ultimately determines torque and power cS1 continuous run specs), what is spindle country of origin, spindle bearings (number and type), availability of parts, replacement costs.
• Versamill provides AI functionality, not available with DS1 providing ease of use advantages and shorter learning curve
• DS1 offers 3 or 4 mm shank dia tooling, Compared to Versamill 6mm which provides for less tool deflection, means faster cycle times, thinner, cleaner margins, and better surface finishes.
• DS1 ATC holds 14 tools - Versamill ATC holds 28 tools
• Versamill CAD block and Premill fixture hold 10 blanks compared to DS1 6 blank holder.

Questions

• Does DS1's drive systems include closed-loop architecture as does the Versamill?
• If so, is it using absolute encoders (like Versamill) or incremental encoders?
• Does DS1 use servo motors (like Versamill 400W Yaskawa) or stepper motors?
• What is used as reduction drive for rotary axis? Versamill utilizes harmonic drives. A harmonic drive is backlash-free with a high-ratio of speed reduction by design.
• Does DS1 utilize C5 class ballscrews as does Versamill? What diameter?
• Versamill positional resolution .5micron. DS1 resolution is unknown.

Additionally, due to the lower power spindle and small diameter tool shank, you can expect cycle times to produce all restoration to be longer with the DS1 and likely of lower quality.

Versamill award-winning service provided by Axsys Dental Solutions' large experienced staff is well known for quality and capability.

Unknown how service is handled with DS1

I hope this helps.
