Figure 34: Height alignment
The height alignment can be checked using the measuring range template. To do this, place the
template on the rotating and swivelling unit and check the height in the cross hairs with the jaw
model.
A jaw model must be aligned so that the centre of the teeth is located at about the height of the
cross hairs. An alignment precise to a spacer is sufficient owing to the measuring range of total 50
mm (i.e. +/- 25 mm) above and below the "centre of the measuring range").
It is not usually necessary to realign each model in respect to height.
Since you will usually work with one model system in a laboratory, you can work with a standard
setting already defined in most cases. However, we recommend making sure that the height
deviation is not too great for each model to be scanned.
Mounting:
If necessary, fasten the required spacer plate on the base holder. Insert the relevant object holder.
Using "zero" spacer plates:
If it is necessary to move the spacer plate, place the object holder directly on the base holder.
To set the height of the object holder, start the scanner software before the setting the
height, so that the axes move into the reference position (this occurs automatically
when starting the program).
