Available in the UK through ES Technology, the machine was unveiled at last year’s Formnext exhibition, with dental laboratories Fresdental (Spain), Ziacom (Spain) and Deltacadcam (Spain) having already each placed at least one order for the new model, says Concept Laser.
Compared to the previous model, the largest version features an extended build space now measuring 100 by 100 by 100 mm (X, Y, Z), a 54% increase in build volume. Three different build envelopes are available: 100 by 100 by 100 mm; 70 by 70 by 80 mm; and 50 by 50 by 80 mm.
The doubling of fibre laser power available to 200 W delivers maximum productivity, along with a high build rate. Another new feature is a clamping system that enables more accurate component positioning, while the new Mlab cusing 200R boasts a larger filter, resulting in a considerable reduction in downtimes and thus much greater availability. Special features are the water-floodable filter and the modular structure of the machine.
The process chamber and handling section are – as is typical for Concept Laser – physically separate and enable safe and easy part handling. For this purpose, a handling station for loading and unloading the machine can be docked, so that the build module can be easily transferred via a drawer principle. The handling station is then made inert and the operator accesses the station through gloves, in order to carry out the loading process or to remove parts. After the end of the process, the build module is ‘pulled’ back into the machine and, finally, the handling station is undocked.
