  • the present invention relates to a workpiece support for the machining of a dental workpiece, which is retained by the workpiece support and, during the machining, is rotated together with the workpiece support about an drive rotation axis. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method of correcting the axial position of a workpiece support.
  • WO 2013/020147 A1 discloses, for example, a machine tool for the machining of a dental workpiece. During the machining, the workpiece is retained in a workpiece support. In WO 2013/020147 A1, the workpiece support can be rotated together with the workpiece about an drive rotation axis in order to create optimum accessibility for the material-removal tool, e.g. a milling or grinding head. However, in WO 2013/020147 A1, the workpiece supports used therein are not designed so that the workpiece retained by the workpiece support, during the machining, is rotated together with the workpiece support about the drive rotation axis.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 of this application show straightforward embodiments of such workpiece supports.
  • the workpiece support to have at least two workpiece-support parts, which can be separated from one another and connected to one another, wherein one of the workpiece-support parts has at least one compensation region with a material overhang for introduction of a compensation surface by way of material removal, and the other one of the workpiece-support parts has a seat surface for form-fitting connection to the compensation surface.
  • the workpiece support according to the invention is therefore constructed from a number of parts. At least one of these workpiece-support parts has present on it a compensation region with a material overhang, in which a compensation surface for compensating for, or correcting, errors in the axial position can be made by way of material removal. It is then possible, following this machining, for the seat surface of at least one other of the workpiece-support parts to be positioned in a form-fitting manner on said compensation surface.
  • the seat surface and the compensation surface here form preferably a play-free form fit.
  • the form fit between the seat surface and compensation surface it is possible, but not necessary, for the form fit between the seat surface and compensation surface to be present on a permanent basis. It may also be sufficient, to provide precise orientation of the workpiece-support parts in relation to one another according to the invention, for the form fit between the seat surface and compensation surface to be established only upon connection of the seat surface and compensation surface or of the workpiece-support parts. Provision may be made, for example, for the workpiece-support parts, while this form fit is established, possibly also to be connected to one another at a different location in addition, preferably integrally, for example by adhesive bonding, soldering, welding, screw connection or the like, and therefore the form fit does indeed ensure precise orientation when the seat surface and compensation surface are being connected to one another.
  • the compensation surface which is made in the compensation region by the aforementioned machining, is, preferably in part or in its entirety, in the form of a cylinder shell or of otherwise rotationally symmetrical shaping.
  • the compensation surface is made in the compensation region preferably such that an axis of symmetry of the cylinder-shell or otherwise rotationally symmetrical shape of the compensation surface, said shape being formed by machining, is coaxial with the drive rotation axis.
  • the compensation surface is preferably entirely in the form of a cylinder shell or at least entirely rotationally symmetrical in relation to the axis of symmetry. However, this is not imperative. It is also sufficient if the compensation surface is only partially in the form of a cylinder shell or otherwise rotationally symmetrical.
  • Preferred embodiments of the invention make provision for the seat surface to encase a cavity, into which the compensation surface can be introduced for form-fitting connection of the seat surface to the compensation surface.
  • the seat surface therefore forms a kind of sleeve, into which the compensation surface can be pushed or introduced to form a form fit between the seat surface and compensation surface.
  • the seat surface advantageously has an axis of symmetry which is coaxial with the axis of symmetry or axis of workpiece rotation of the workpiece inserted into the workpiece support. It is also possible here, of course, for the arrangement to be the other way round. Therefore, the compensation surface could also encase a cavity, into which the seat surface can then be introduced for form-fitting connection.
  • one of the workpiece-support parts may have a fastening device for fastening the workpiece support on a driveshaft of a machine tool, said driveshaft being rotatable about the drive rotation axis.
  • This workpiece-support part may have, for example, the compensation region with the material overhang.
  • the other workpiece-support part, or another of the workpiece-support parts may have a workpiece adapter for fastening the workpiece on the workpiece support.
  • the seat surface may then be formed on said other workpiece-support part, or other ones of the workpiece-support parts. It is also possible, of course, for the arrangement to be the other way round.
  • the seat surface may also be located on the workpiece-support part, which has the fastening device for fastening the workpiece support on the driveshaft of the machine tool.
  • the fastening device for fastening the workpiece support on the driveshaft of the machine tool.
  • preferred embodiments of the invention make provision for at least one of the workpiece-support parts to have formed on it a longitudinal stop with a material overhang so that the longitudinal stop can be shortened by way of material removal.
  • the longitudinal stop can be adjusted very precisely so that a workpiece which is later held on the workpiece support during the machining has very exact positioning along the drive rotation axis.
  • preferred embodiments of the invention make provision for at least one of the workpiece-support parts to have formed on it a skewing-prevention component with a material overhang for the machining of the skewing-prevention component by way of material removal.
  • This skewing-prevention component and the machining thereof make it possible for the workpiece support also to be formed in respect of an angular position precisely about the drive rotation axis such that there is no angular deviation of the workpiece and the latter is not machined with skewing about the drive rotation axis.
  • the skewing-prevention component provided on the workpiece-support part may be, for example, a notch with a corresponding material overhang.
  • a projecting component to form the skewing-prevention component with a corresponding material overhang.
  • connection geometry may be designed, for example, such that it can be inserted into another component, e.g. an implant for insertion into the jaw, only in a single position, and therefore the artificial tooth, which is fastened on the implant by means of the component which is to be made from the workpiece, can be fastened on the implant only in a single defined position.
  • connection geometries may be, for example, irregular polygonal components or the like.
  • a minimal variant of the invention provides a two-part workpiece support.
  • one of the workpiece-support parts has the compensation region.
  • the other of the workpiece-support parts has the seat surface.
  • the workpiece-support parts are usually produced from a very strong material, e.g. steel or the like. In these cases, the machining of the compensation region for the introduction of the compensation surface may be a laborious task. It is for example for this reason that variants according to the invention with more than two workpiece-support parts are also of interest. Provision may thus be made, for example, for the workpiece support to have at least three workpiece-support parts, wherein the compensation region and/or the longitudinal stop, which may be present, and/or the skewing-prevention component, which may be present, are/is formed on a central workpiece-support part, which is arranged, or is to be arranged, between two of the other workpiece-support parts.
  • the central workpiece-support part may then be produced, for example, from a relatively soft material or metal, e.g. aluminum, in order to reduce the outlay for the task of introducing the compensation surface.
  • a relatively soft material or metal e.g. aluminum
  • a dental workpiece is generally to be understood as being a workpiece from which a denture, part of a denture or an auxiliary means for producing or fastening a denture is made.
  • denture here covers both partial and full prostheses.
  • crowns, bridges, abutments and the like are covered by the term denture.
  • the dental workpiece has become the dental component, and is then inserted, possibly with yet further post-treatment, in the patient's mouth.
  • the latter is retained on the workpiece support. It is preferably the case that, during the machining of the workpiece, the workpiece is rotated together with the workpiece support permanently about the drive rotation axis. It is, however, also possible to rotate the workpiece together with the workpiece support about the drive rotation axis, during the machining of the workpiece, only temporarily, intermittently or as required.
  • the tool used for machining purposes may have, for example, a milling head or a grinding head. The tool may be rotated, in addition, about a dedicated axis during the machining.

  • the compensation surface is advantageously made here for the compensation surface to be, in part or in its entirety, in the form of a cylinder shell or of otherwise rotationally symmetrical shaping, wherein an axis of symmetry of the cylinder-shell or otherwise rotationally symmetrical shape of the compensation surface is coaxial with the drive rotation axis. If surface regions which differ from the cylinder-shell or otherwise rotationally symmetrical shape should be provided in the compensation region, then provision is advantageously made, at any rate, for these surface regions which may be present in the compensation region and differ from the cylinder-shell or otherwise rotationally symmetrical shape to be located closer to the axis of symmetry than the cylinder-shell or otherwise rotationally symmetrical shape of the compensation surface.

  • the orientation of the two workpiece-support parts 4 and 6 on one another takes place exclusively via the form fit between the compensation surface 9 and the seat surface 10 and, if present, via the longitudinal stop 16 and/or the skewing-prevention component 18 .
  • FIG. 6 shows the workpiece support 1 according to the invention which is the result of the axial position being corrected and in which the workpiece-support parts 4 and 6 are joined together and the workpiece 2 which is to be machined is fastened in the workpiece adapter 15 .
  • the workpiece support 1 and the workpiece 2 in FIG. 6 , are fastened on the driveshaft 13 . This is the position in which the workpiece 2 can then be machined by means of the tool 20 .
  • FIG. 6 depicts the drive rotation axis 3 and the axis of workpiece rotation 34 in the position they assume once the axial position has been corrected.
  • the axis of workpiece rotation 34 is now, as desired, coaxial with the drive rotation axis 3 , or is located coaxially thereon.
  • axis of workpiece rotation 34 ′ in its position according to FIG. 2 , that is to say prior to the axial position being corrected, and the now corrected offset 35 .
  • This correction of the axial position and/or of the offset 35 can also be seen externally by way of the slightly eccentric, in this case vertically displaced position between the workpiece-support part 4 and workpiece-support part 6 .
  • the now precisely coaxial orientation of the axis of symmetry of the workpiece 2 that is to say of the axis of workpiece rotation 34 , in relation to the drive rotation axis 3 , then allows the workpiece 2 to be subjected very precisely to rotary machining.
  • FIGS. 7 to 9 show, by way of example, a component which can be made from the workpiece 2 .
  • the component in this case is an abutment 42 .
  • the latter is pushed into an implant 45 by way of the connection geometry 33 .
  • the implant 45 as is known per se, is implanted, or is to be implanted, in the patient's jawbone.
  • the external shape of the connection geometry 33 in preferred embodiments, ensures that there is no skewed installation or skewing of the abutment 42 , which is produced from the workpiece 2 , as it is being fastened in the implant 45 .
  • the abutment 42 is screwed firmly in the implant 45 by means of the screw 38 .
  • the longitudinal channel 41 which in the present exemplary embodiment is already present in the non-machined workpiece 2 or blank.
  • the shoulder 44 in the longitudinal channel 41 serves as a rest for the head of the screw 38 .
  • a crown 43 can be positioned on the abutment 42 thus fastened on the implant 45 .
  • FIG. 9 shows the crown 43 , the abutment 42 and the implant 45 in the assembled state.
  • the not yet machined blank that is to say the original workpiece 2 , is illustrated as being visible, and it is therefore possible to see the abutment 42 which is to be made by way of material removal.
  • the longitudinal channel 41 is optional and the abutment 42 , as is the case here, can be designed in the form of a crown support, but also in the form of the crown itself. If it is a crown, then the longitudinal channel 41 can be closed by filling material which is known per se.
  • FIGS. 10 to 15 show a second exemplary embodiment of a workpiece support according to the invention and also illustrations relating to the correction of the axial position according to the invention.
  • the workpiece support 1 has three workpiece-support parts 4 , 5 and 6 , as can be seen to good effect in the exploded illustrations according to FIGS. 10 and 11 .
  • Both the compensation region 7 with the material overhang 8 and the longitudinal stop 16 with the material overhang 17 and also the skewing-prevention component 18 with the material overhang 19 are formed here on the central workpiece-support part 5 , which is arranged between the two other workpiece-support parts 4 and 6 .
  • said central workpiece-support part 5 may be formed from a relatively soft material, which simplifies the task of removing material from the material overhangs 8 , 17 and 19 .
  • the workpiece-support part 6 with the cavity 11 and the seat surface 10 , and also with the workpiece adapter 15 is designed as in the case of the first exemplary embodiment, and therefore reference can be made to the above description in this respect and also in respect of the question as to how the workpiece 2 is fastened on the workpiece adapter 15 and therefore on the workpiece-support part 6 .
  • the workpiece-support part 4 has the fastening device 12 for fastening the workpiece support 1 on the driveshaft 13 and also has the tool holder 31 , which once again is optional.
  • the central workpiece-support part 5 which in this case is of sleeve-like design, is fastened on the workpiece-support part 4 by two screws 38 , which are guided through the through-passage opening 46 in the central workpiece-support part 5 and are screwed firmly into the corresponding screw holes 40 in the workpiece-support part 4 . It is also the case that the task of mounting the workpiece-support part 6 on the interconnected workpiece-support parts 4 and 5 by means of the screws 38 and the corresponding screw holes 40 in the workpiece-support part 4 takes place as in the first exemplary embodiment.
  • orientation is ensured via the interaction of the compensation surface 9 , seat surface 10 , longitudinal stop 16 and mating stop 49 , and also the skewing-prevention component 18 and index pin 36 .
  • the screws 38 serve merely for mounting purposes in the longitudinal direction of the drive rotation axis 3 .
  • the workpiece-support parts 4 and 5 are fastened on the driveshaft 13 in the same way as they are also fastened there for the subsequent machining of the workpiece 2 .
  • the workpiece-support part 6 is still left out while the axial position is being corrected.
  • the removal of material from the compensation region 7 by the tool 20 takes place as in the first exemplary embodiment and as also outlined there.
  • a compensation surface 9 as is shown by way of example in FIG. 15 , and will be explained in more detail hereinbelow, is made as a result.
  • FIG. 13 shows the removal of material from the material overhang 17 of the longitudinal stop 16 .
  • the workpiece-support part 4 and workpiece-support part 5 are rotated together about the drive rotation axis 3 , while the tool 20 is moved gradually, with simultaneous material removal, to a predetermined position along the drive rotation axis 3 , that is to say in one of the directions 28 .
  • This makes it possible to adjust very precisely the length of the then assembled workpiece support 1 , and thus the position of the workpiece 2 on the then assembled workpiece support 1 , along the drive rotation axis 3 .
  • FIG. 14 shows the machining of the material overhang 19 on the skewing-prevention component 18 , which is designed here, once again, in the form of a slot. This machining also takes place by the tool 20 . This makes it possible to adjust very precisely the angular position of the workpiece part 6 about the drive rotation axis 3 and thus of the workpiece 2 relative to the driveshaft 13 .
  • FIG. 15 shows a side view of the compensation surface 9 made by virtue of the axial position being corrected.
  • the axis of symmetry 21 of the shape 22 of the compensation surface 9 in this case made in the form of a cylinder shell, is precisely coaxial with the drive rotation axis 3 .
  • the figure includes, once again, the axis of workpiece rotation 34 ′ prior to correction by means of the compensation region 7 being machined. The now eliminated offset 35 can be seen to good effect here.
  • FIG. 16 shows schematically, as an example, that the shape 22 of the compensation surface 9 need not be in the form of a cylinder shell; rather, it may also be of otherwise rotationally symmetrical shaping in relation to the axis of symmetry 21 and thus, as a result, the drive rotation axis 3 .
  • the compensation surface 9 forms a truncated cone.
  • FIG. 17 shows, schematically, a section, taken along a section plane in a direction normal to the drive rotation axis 3 or axis of symmetry 21 , through a compensation surface 9 made entirely in the form of a cylinder shell.
  • the compensation surface 9 forms an exact circle with the center point of the circle on the drive rotation axis 3 .
  • FIGS. 18 and 19 show examples of this. Each illustrates, in turn, a section which is taken through a completed compensation surface 9 along a section plane which is normal to the drive rotation axis 3 . Both variants according to FIGS.
  • FIGS. 20 and 21 show an example in which the form fit between the compensation surface 9 and seat surface 10 serves merely for precise orientation, in order for the workpiece-support parts 4 and 6 thus oriented then to be connected to one another for example integrally.
  • FIG. 20 shows a longitudinal section;
  • FIG. 21 shows the cross section taken along section line AA.
  • the form-fitting connection between the compensation surface 9 and seat surface 10 takes place here by virtue of said two surfaces 9 and 10 being pushed in a form-fitting manner into the connecting adapter 52 , which in this case is of sleeve-like design.
  • This connecting adapter ensures a precise orientation, in which the workpiece-support parts 4 and 6 are then connected to one another on a permanent basis for example by adhesive bonding 55 or welding, in which case the connecting adapter 52 , and therefore the form fit, can then be removed again. It is possible for the connecting adapter 52 to be designed in a number of parts, and to be capable of being dismantled and assembled, or, for removal in the manner of a disposable product, also to be destroyed.
  • the adhesive for the adhesive bonding 55 can be introduced via an opening (not illustrated here) in the connecting adapter 52 .
  • the connecting adapter 52 advantageously also has a stop ring 53 for ensuring the precise orientation of the workpiece-support parts in the axial direction and/or an index lug 54 for skewing-prevention purposes.
  • the skewing-prevention component 18 on the workpiece-support part 4 is designed in this case, in a manner corresponding to the index lug 54 , in the form of a longitudinal groove.
  • the machining for making the compensation surface 9 , the longitudinal stop 16 and the in this case groove-shaped skewing-prevention component 18 of the workpiece-support part 4 takes place in a manner analogous to the exemplary embodiments outlined above.
  • the seat surface 10 of the workpiece-support part 6 is designed in this case in the form of a cylindrical pin with a longitudinal groove for accommodating the index lug 54 , which, of course, constitutes just one of many design options.
