Z4 Chairside Milling:

The digital workflow makes it happen: you and your patients can benefit from more pleasant treatments with first-class restorations in just one session. The Z4 is an investment that will pay off for you: high-quality restorations with maximum independence. The number of machinable block materials constantly increases as well as the number of scanners and CAD software packages that are validated with the Z4.

When it comes to wet machining blocks, the Z4 sets unprecedented quality standards. Fabricate glass-ceramic, PMMA, zirconia and composite restorations in mere minutes and finish highly accurate prefabricated titanium abutments. A scientific study at the University of Washington proved that using the Z4, users can drill screw-access channels for hybrid implant restorations into ceramic blocks with no significant difference in flexural strength compared to factory-fabricated materials, known as “meso” blocks.

These blocks are significantly more expensive, and the laboratory design method requires a more sophisticated CAD process. Thus, processing standard blocks with the Z4 means less cost for material and less material inventory necessary. Jack M. Keesler, DDS, MSD. Effect of milling screw-access channels on flexural strength of CAD/ CAM ceramic materials. MSD Master’s Thesis, University of Washington, 2019.

S5 Milling:

The S5 is a highly versatile dental milling machine. It has five simultaneously operating axes, a blank changer for eight blanks and is designed for both dry and wet machining. With the optional wet grinding module, you can grind all common types of glass ceramic. 8 Discs, 24 Blocks, 48 Abutments The second rotary axis (B axis) with a tilt angle of up to ± 30 degrees enables the precise milling of undercuts.

Thanks to the eightfold blank changer, you get performance that won’t stop. The changer can be loaded with blanks via a small flap in the front and the correct blank for your milling job is then automatically inserted into the clamping device when needed. As a result, you can mill around the clock.

The S5 can be equipped with a wet grinding module. Liquid nozzles are already mounted to the spindle to cool the tool during grinding. This module allows you to grind materials such as glass ceramics.

With the three integrated ionizers, users of the S5 considerably reduce their cleaning effort, as static charge of acrylic chips, such as PMMA, is neutralized largely. Air nozzles distribute the ionized air in the working area for excellent results.

PM7

PrograMill PM7 sets new industrial standards for the digital production of restorations in the dental laboratory. The powerful performance and dynamics of this unit make it a highlight in the PrograMill portfolio. The high-power machine is capable of processing a variety of materials in wet and dry mode and is suitable for a wide spectrum of applications. The high dynamics and efficiency of the machine result in precise and fast production results. The 5-axis machining process is controlled via the integrated PC with touch screen monitor. The good cooperation of material and tool changer allows independent and consistent production. The central management of max. 8 discs / 48 IPS e.max blocks in the material changer and up to 20 tools in the magazine ensures that the right, individual processing strategy is used. The integrated ionizer reduces the cleaning time to a minimum after PMMA has been milled.

The PrograMill PM7 offers you a future-proof high-end solution for the precise and efficient production of dental restorations.

Features

• Hybrid operation: automatic change between wet and dry operation. • Integrated ionisor and automatic cleaning function. • 20-position tool changer for independent processing. • Fully automatic materials management. • Intuitive user interface for convenient operation.

PM3 & PM5

Both machines, PrograMill PM3 and PM5, deliver ideal performance for the digital dental laboratory. These units are suitable for wet and dry processing and offer a wide range of materials and indications.

The precise 5-axis machining process is controlled via the integrated PC with touch-screen monitor. The fully automatic materials management checks whether the tools correspond with the respective machining strategy. The tool changer ensures that the production is carried outindependently and consistently. The PrograMill PM5, with its 8-way material changer, provides perfect automation for your laboratory. The material changer allows several production orders with different materials and types of restorations to be processed. Individual machining strategies are used depending on the material and the area of use. This allows short processing times for the respective restorations.
