Planmeca introduces new laboratory milling unit

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Planmeca PlanMill® 60 S is a high-performance dental milling unit specifically designed for the needs of dental laboratories and technicians. Supporting an even broader range of indications than chairside milling units, Planmeca PlanMill 60 S is also a great tool for dentists willing to produce more advanced dental restorations and applications in house.

The 5-axis milling unit can be used to mill discs and blocks as well as prefabricated titanium and cobalt chrome abutments. The milling unit is capable of both wet and dry processing of different materials, including zirconium dioxide, glass ceramics, composites, PMMA and wax. The unit produces various dental restorations, custom implant abutments and bars, partial frames, bite splints, and dentures precisely.

The milling unit can be used with a variety of material holders, which extend the application possibilities of Planmeca PlanMill 60 S even further. With a half-open blank holder, the milling unit can be used for producing even the most demanding restorations for the anterior area. The user can easily and quickly change the clamping holder in the milling chamber, when needed.

“Planmeca PlanMill 60 S is a powerful milling unit for the varying needs of dental laboratories, technicians, and in-house laboratories. The platform-based design of Planmeca PlanMill 60 S allows introducing new functionalities to the milling unit also in the future with software updates and interchangeable clamping fixtures,” comments Jukka Kanerva, Senior Vice President at Planmeca.

The Planmeca PlanMill 60 S milling unit is used together with an easy-to-use Planmeca PlanCAM™ software, which calculates necessary milling paths for selected materials and indications. The software supports open STL files and guarantees a fast and easy workflow in the busy laboratory environment.
