Giroform 176700: Drilling Precision for Reliable Dental Models
The Giroform 176700 pin drill from Amann Girrbach is a specialised device for the precise and reproducible drilling of base plates used in the manufacture of dental models. This equipment is designed to work as part of the Giroform system, which is renowned for its ability to neutralise the undesirable effects of plaster expansion. During model production, this expansion is one of the main causes of inaccuracy, which can lead to tension and incorrect adjustments when fitting prostheses. Thanks to the Giroform 176700 pin drill, pins can be positioned with sufficient accuracy to faithfully reproduce the original position of the patient's dental arch. This precision guarantees stable and reliable models, reducing the risk of costly errors and optimising the quality of prosthetic work.
Speed and Efficiency in the Workflow
The Giroform 176700 is designed to save significant time in the manufacturing process. Its semi-automatic operation allows for extremely fast drilling, at a rate of 0.5 seconds per hole. Positioning is facilitated by an integrated laser beam, providing precise visual guidance. The plate holder is automatically anchored by a magnetic system as soon as drilling starts, ensuring stability and safety. With a rotation speed of 2,800 rpm, it is suitable for intensive production environments where speed and consistency are essential. This efficiency reduces manufacturing times while maintaining consistent drilling quality for each model produced.
Robustness, Ergonomics and Extensive Compatibility
Manufactured with a stainless steel housing, the Giroform 176700 pin drill is designed to withstand intensive daily use in dental laboratories. Its robust design ensures increased longevity, even in demanding working conditions. It is compatible with several Giroform plate formats, including L, XL and quadrant sizes, making it versatile for producing different types of models: master models, opposing models, partial impressions or anatomical models. Identical and reproducible drilling ensures that each plate is ready to receive pins with an optimal fit. The combination of precision components and specific accessories optimises material usage, reducing waste and costs. The ergonomic design of the device, combined with simple controls, makes it easy for dental technicians to use, even during long working sessions.
