Roland DGA Corp. has expanded its line of dental milling machines with the addition of the DWX-50, an advanced 5-axis production tool for creating dental prosthetics, including copings, crowns, full bridges and abutments, using zirconia, wax and PMMA.

Designed to streamline the production process, the DWX-50 features 5-axis simultaneous machining capability and a 5-station automatic tool changer with tool length sensor.  The milling machine is also equipped with a virtual panel to facilitate desktop operation, as well as a diagnostic notification system that alerts the operator of system errors or job completion.

Other key features include an integrated air blower system that aids with difficult to machine materials, such as PMMA, along with a built-in dust collection tray that can be connected to any lab vacuum system, keeping the cutting area clean and free of debris.
