New digitization methods produce "jaw-dropping" results. A special 5-axis scanner makes dental restoration possible without the uncomfortable imprint procedure. Eichenberger AG, the thread-rolling specialist, successfully developed the key mechanical parts of this revolutionary scanner and has brought them from initial sampling into full production. In this high-tech era, even simple mechanical components have to meet the most stringent requirements. The miniature version of the Carry cold-rolled ball screw, (4 mm ø, 1 mm pitch), is a small component which has proven to be a big success, from the economic, efficiency and quality points of view.
The scanner, with its uniquely designed method of operation, enables digitization to be performed in record time either fully automatically or in manual mode. Imprints, partial and full jaw models can be scanned in less than 1 minute. The five-axis scanner is also able to scan the palatal area. A slightly modified version of Eichenberger's Carry 4x1 ball screw satisfies all the requirements, allowing the new-generation positioning scanner to achieve breakthrough levels of efficiency and flexibility of movement.
