DCS - Model DC1 ™ -Milling System
The DC1 ™ milling system was developed by the engineers at Dental Concept Systems for the purpose of introducing a milling machine to the compact class that was versatile yet fully capable of milling CoCr with the same precision as the larger units in the DCS family. Equipped with a large spindle & motor, the DC1 ™ allows the efficient milling of metals with smooth finishes, of the type normally reserved for larger machines.
Customers refer to the DC1™ as an „Allrounder“. Due to the intelligent design, characterizing its quietness. Anyone observing the DC1 ™ in action quickly realizes how stable and smooth this desktop unit is working. An important prerequisite for the production of abutments and implant superstructures. The DC1 ™ can safely drill and finish high-quality geometries for abutments. A compact device that provides dental laboratories high competitiveness in the market.
The DC1 ™ System has an automatic machine calibration feature. By using a measuring Disc and probe, the system automatically detects and checks the necessary precision with Control management. Consistent results, which are necessary for precision restorations can be guaranteed. Therefore the user always has a safe overview of the accuracy of their DC1 ™ and can even replace the milling spindle their self if necessary. A remarkable advantage!
The production of abutments can also be done by editing the Premill process in the DC1 ™. In the calibration process, the holders are checked for accurate positioning and targeted processing of the Abutment bodies is ensured. A clear advantage for safe production and unvarying production quality, which is important especially in the field of implantology. In the DC1 ™ Abutments can be manufactured in all approved materials, wet or dry!
The DC1 ™ milling system has a special structure which allows machining with short process paths. The 18-tool magazine with automatic carrousel opens directly under the spindle and positions to the desired milling tool and measuring sensor.
Advantages are short set-up times and thus a more effective processing time. The spindle moves over the object to be milled, only during processing.
By special guidance, a targeted guided airflow is generated, which whirls around the area to be machined. When processing zirconium oxide the airflow also serves to prevent heat build-up during the milling process to avoid undesirable property changes prior to sintering. The suction technology keeps the workspace clean and prevents damage to the milling objects by clearing material residue.
The DC1™ milling system not only mills, drills and cuts but also grinds. The fine-tuning of the control software allows full functionality of even more complex CAM software. The correct use of CAM software is crucial for precision production, especially when grinding ceramic materials. For this purpose, the system offers wet grinding operability for most available ceramics materials.
Dental Concept Systems has a control concept, which was developed in-house and is therefore always adapted to modern requirements. The device also contains a modular split CNC industrial hardware control. The DC1 ™ is delivered with a computer and monitor for the Control Panel. The control software is closely related to the CAM software and enables full functionality, even for large-scale applications.
Efficient and easy to work with, the DC1™ does not require intensive, time-consuming cleaning to change from wet to dry. In just a few minutes, the DC1™ can be converted from wet to dry machining. The closed clear form of the workspace and the fluid drawer is easy to clean and protect the system from permanent soiling. All components for wet processing are integrated and can be controlled automatically. Course residue collects in a filter in the Fluid drawer. A special fine filter cartridge additionally separates all other possible fine dust particles.
The fully enclosed workspace and the effective suction system helps maintain clean air quality and prevents hazardous dust particles from being released into the surrounding environment. The suction flow under the milling object helps seal the enclosure door and its gaskets. The combined suction and cooling airflow directly at the object provides a clean and reliable processing environment for restorations. The CAD/CAM suction was specifically developed for this purpose and is directly controlled by the DC1™ when needed. Thereby the actually required suction flow is always ensured.
The DC1™ features an integrated filter & pump system for materials requiring reliable wet processing. The pump and fine filter system prevent dust and contaminates in the fluid system, while increasing tool life and keeping ceramics restorations free of metallic impurities. The special DCS cooling and lubricating fluids can be easily refilled with distilled water as evaporated. The DC1™ Machine Table is designed specifically to work with the machine and facilitate connectivity to external devices, while maintaining a compact and easy to clear workspace.
