Emuge Introduces New Line of Milling Tools for Dental Machining Applications |
|
Emuge Corp. has announced the introduction of a new line of milling tools developed for the advancing field of dental prosthetics manufacturing. The tools' carbide construction, cutting geometries and coatings have been engineered specifically for use with today's dental materials.
The new Emuge tool line consists of solid carbide ball nose and torus end mills which are designed for optimum machining of zirconium oxide, PMMA, wax, cobalt chrome and titanium, the most commonly used materials in making dental prosthetics. Both types of cutters have a radius tolerance of up to .005 mm and a diameter tolerance of .01 mm. Solid carbide ball nose end mills are designed for roughing and finishing, and their optimized geometry provides greater stability in long reach applications. The tapered neck ball nose end mills provide greater rigidity against deflection and are optimal for finishing and rest material machining. Torus end mills are available with two or four flutes, offering exceptional performance for roughing in cobalt chrome.
Emuge dental end mills are available with a variety of coatings including TiAlN which protects the tool from premature wear when machining non-precious metal alloys, CrN which prevents the material from sticking to the cutting edge of the tool when milling PMMA and wax and a Diamond coating which ensures extremely long tool life when machining zirconium oxide.
"As an industry leader, Emuge is committed to being at the forefront of new technology for emerging manufacturing opportunities," said Stephen Jean, Milling Products Manager at Emuge Corp. "Our new milling program is a perfect example of how we examined the market for dental prosthetics manufacturing and developed an application-specific tool line designed for cutting dental materials."
Ball nose cutters are available in cutting diameters ranging from 0.4 to 6 mm. Torus end mills are available in cutting diameters of 3 and 4 mm.
The new dental line is suitable for a variety of machine tools used for dental prosthetics manufacturing, from bench top systems to 5-axis machining centers. The tools are compatible with all software systems used in the dental prosthetics field including hyperDENT CAM software from Emuge's technical partner OPEN MIND Technologies USA, Inc.
