Terms Defined:

A-P         = Anterior – Posterior Axis Coordinate   

M-L         = Medial – Lateral Axis Coordinate

D_V        = Dorsal-Ventral  Axis Coordinate

Bregma  = The junction of the sagittal and coronal sutures at the top of the skull (www.freedictionary.com)

Home     = Zero Point of reference

Saved Offset = Distance Value added to axis position when play button is pressed or when Routing mode is engaged.   

Routing Resolution = This is the distance the drill will travel each pass until it reaches the D-V offset. The routing resolution is 0.05mm each route.

 

Routing:

The routing feature is used to cut out a piece of the skull. The D-V routing distance is .05mm each step.  This means that if D-V routing offset is .10mm it will take 2 passes to complete the route.

Steps:

1: Move the drill to the start position of the routing

2: Press the Keypad button for the A-P.

               A: Press the Clear button

               B: Type in the offset amount

               C: Press the Save button

               D: Press the Hide button.

3: Press the M-L button

               A: Press the Clear Button

               B: Type in the offset amount

               C: Press the Save Button

               D: Press the Hide Button

4: Press the D-V Button

               A: Press the Clear Button

               B: Type in the offset amount – about .20mm to start

               C: Press the save button

5: Turn on Drill by pressing the drill button

6: Set the speed for each axis. 

7: Press the Route button.
