AG Introduces New MUST SEE CAD CAM Lineup

[BobCDT]

Was included in a new massive product launch meeting with Amann Girrbach. WOW, probably the most aggressive, most comprehensive new product launch since I’ve been in DT, 1973. A near complete redesign of existing machines and some new incredible innovations. I will be posting blogs to give more updates over the next few weeks. But here is a short list. This all new product line is the “DNA” and uses the old product names, Motion 2, Mikro 4 etc.

• Scanners Map 400; 2X speed with processing done in the background and easy separation of scan and design stations.
  
  
• Mills, are also much faster. AG has added a 750 KW, 100K RPM spindle to the motion 2.
  
  
• A new dry 5 Axis very affordable Mikro. Again faster than ever
  
  
• A faster 4 Axis Mikro
  
  
• A new Micro IC for milling ceramics. This mill has some new IP that mills e.max blue block in 15 minutes, saves tools and is really precise. This is really more cutting than grinding. Incidentally this new mill strategy will be included in the new Motion 2 mills as well.
  

What this system now includes really requires any lab considering a CAD CAM purchase to check out these innovative products.

750 KW spindle.

ok. so we can drill through the earth's crust now. fetch our own titanium.

Is this an open system?

off topic, will AG support authentic straumann abutment milling?

Yes, the question is when... I'm not sure.

Is this an open system?

Open with a 71mm and 98mm fixture

As for the wet portion it uses "cerec" type pin holder

 

[BobCDT]

Is this an open system?

Yes, the scanner output is STL, the CAD output is STL and the mill cam operates from STL.

This is still in the works. There will be additional "authentic" Ti blanks from other implant manufacturers as well.

Maybe you guys can get Uncle Hank to pony up some money to sponsor the site?

We know you know him.

 

[CoolHandLuke]

thats just what we need. a buyout from Scheiny.

i'll finally have my solid gold house and rocket car.

They already own Bob and Sam. Who's next?

I emailed Travis this AM to get it done. Hopefully by day end.

So sorry, they don't own Sam and I. We are having a great time, learning so much. We are just going to help make them the best ever And it's really all about you guys.

What about the prices, are they comparable to the existing ones?

 

[CoolHandLuke]

i dont know about you but it shoudlnt take the power of an earth mover to grind a few soft zircon blanks and soft grade 5 ti.

according to google, 750KW is 1005 Horsepower.

lol

u serious? that kind of power is a half dozen cement mixers. its the kind of power Benny had trying to kill Quaid with the giant drill in Total Recall.

the electrical costs to run this thing alone... the grid workers will need to connect you directly to the nuke.

this is absurd

Any speed upgrade for map 300 scanners or motion 1? Any upgrades at all for this software this year? Mind updates are so far behind exocad builds..

 

[BobCDT]

Sorry, 750 w. Not kw.

Not to my knowledge.

MSRP is up some but with the added speed, robustness and everything else they have added I think the ROI is better than ever.

 

[CoolHandLuke]

thanks bob. that was a hilarious typo that had me rolling laughing for hours.

 

[BobCDT]

So glad I made you all so happy through my ignorance.
With 750KW we could probably mill an entire disc in 2 minutes.
