Features of the Programat® CS2 and CS6
Both ovens feature a user-friendly design, intuitive operation, and a controlled cooling process, making them easy and fast to use while achieving consistently high-quality results with advanced firing technology.
Pre-Programmed and Custom Settings
The ovens come with various pre-programmed settings tailored for different types of dental ceramics and specific processes like firing, crystallization, and glazing. These pre-sets are based on extensive research and ensure optimal results. Additionally, users can create custom programs to cater to unique material properties or specific restoration requirements.
Touch-Screen Interface
The control hub of the ovens is the touch-screen interface. It allows users to select programs, adjust parameters, and monitor the progress of each cycle. The interface is designed to be intuitive, reducing the learning curve and ensuring efficient operation even for those new to the equipment.
Advanced Temperature Control
The Programat® CS2 and CS6 ovens feature advanced temperature control systems that ensure uniform heat distribution throughout the firing chamber. These features are crucial for the even sintering and crystallization of dental ceramics, preventing defects and ensuring the structural integrity of the restorations.
Automated Processes
The ovens automate several processes, including the opening and closing of the furnace, the initiation of firing cycles, and the cooling phase. Advanced automation reduces the risk of human error, enhances consistency, and frees up technicians to focus on other tasks.
Real-Time Monitoring
Both models are equipped with real-time monitoring capabilities, allowing the status tracking of each firing cycle. Alerts and notifications are provided for any deviations from the set parameters, enabling immediate adjustments and ensuring the final restoration meets the desired specifications.
