Why Choose the vhf R5 5-Axis Milling Machine
The R5 is built for labs that want production to keep going without someone standing at the machine. Its automated changer holds up to 10 discs, 60 blocks or 60 prefabricated abutments, alongside a 16-tool magazine, so it moves from job to job and material to material by itself.
A spindle reaching 80,000 rpm with ±3 µm repeatability keeps crowns, bridges, veneers and abutments consistent across zirconia, titanium, cobalt-chrome, glass ceramics, composites, plastics and wax.
