But digitalization has long since arrived:<br>Today, CAD\/CAM technologies and 5-axis scanners make it possible to <strong>Completely digital fabrication of dentures - no plaster casts, no waiting time, no uncertainty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The claim:<br>\u2714 Scanning instead of molding<br>\u2714 Immediately visible, immediately processed<br>\u2714 Precise, hygienic and economical<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The heart of the system:<\/strong><br>A 5-axis scanner with robotic arm that scans impressions, partial and full jaw models in less than a minute - including the palatal roof. Smooth movement in all axes requires <strong>a precise, miniaturized linear guide<\/strong> - This is where the Carry ball screw drive comes into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Carry 4\u00d71 ball screw drive - precision in the smallest dimension<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The used <strong>Carry 4\u00d71 ball screw drive<\/strong> is specially designed for high-tech applications in miniaturization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Diameter 4 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pitch 1 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cold rolled for perfect surface quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cleanroom-compatible, durable, precise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The geometry has been slightly adapted - the result is a miniaturized drive element which, despite its small design <strong>transmits high forces precisely<\/strong>even with rapid changes of direction and continuous load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From the special solution to series production - a leap in development<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What began as a one-off production is now a <strong>Production-ready element for digital dental technology<\/strong>.
