Power package with lots of features
The Vhf K5+ machines a particularly wide range of materials and indications in disc form with a thickness of up to 40 mm. That means it helps make your everyday work easier with lots of innovative technologies. Two particularly useful features are the DIRECTDISC Technology for single-handed, tool-free disc fixation, and an integrated ionizer that neutralizes most of the static charge of plastic chips – practically eliminating your cleaning work.
Thanks to its highly stable machine bed structure, made of a solid cast body, the machine generates less vibrations and delivers first-class surface quality.
Keeping it all together
Tools and material blanks are stored in the machine’s practical accessory drawer, so they are always close at hand. An Administrated Tool Board for milling tools is also integrated into the drawer. Its numbered slots are managed using the DENTALCAM software, creating an active tool pool of a total of 30 tools.
Quick start
Revolutionary technologies such as DIRECTDISC Technology for one-handed and tool-free blank clamping and an integrated ionizer, which largely neutralizes the static charge of plastic chips such as PMMA and thus considerably reduces the cleaning effort, help you to achieve this.
CoCr prefab abutments
You can also easily produce prefab abutments made of CoCr and block materials with the right holders.
Discs up to a thickness of 40 mm
The Vhf K5+ processes discs up to a thickness of 40 mm. An ionizer neutralizes the charge of plastic chips.
