Roland DG is thrilled about its participation at the International Dental Show. Shown to the European public for the first time, the upcoming DWX-4W wet grinding unit was received really positively by visitors. The existing range of fast-selling dry milling solutions also continued to be highly popular. The user-friendliness, reliability, open architecture and compact size were mentioned by visitors as the most-valued features. The success of the show underlines Roland DG's growing success in the dental market and sets high expectations for the future.
Roland DG showed its range of affordable milling units for small and mid-size dental labs at the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne. The milling units were demonstrated in conjunction with dental scanners, software and a wide range of milling materials to illustrate the versatility and compatibility of the mills. There was a great deal of excitement shown for the variety of on-stand demos from international consultants and for product presentations from Roland DG staff. The show-stopper was the soon-to-be-launched DWX-4W wet grinding unit, which was shown in Europe for the very first time.
Roland DG continues to promote the cost-saving and productivity advantages of operating separate wet and dry milling solutions. Their multiple device solution allows for the combination of dry and wet milling, but with the benefit of being able to handle the simultaneous processing of different materials without the inconvenience and delay of a changeover.

Promising pre-launch of DWX-4W
The DWX-4W is the latest in Roland technology that quickly and easily wet mills popular glass ceramic and hybrid ceramics with precision and reliability. The DWX-4W is developed for the production of crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers. Simultaneous 4-axis grinding of up to three standard pin-type blocks results in high efficiency.
Just like all other Roland DG dental mills, the DWX-4W has an open architecture. This means that users can easily integrate the unit in their existing workflow, as the grinding unit works perfectly together with all popular scanners and software. The users can also choose the material supplier they prefer.
The visitors at IDS were very positive about this new grinding machine, which will be launched the second half of 2015. "I very much like the concept of separate machines for wet and dry milling", Tomonari Okawa, Master dental technician at Organ Dental Technology in Hamburg said. "This is highly efficient since you don't need to clean the machine extensively between jobs and you can start you next task immediately." Also the user-friendliness, sleek design and stability were praised.
Affordable 5 and 4-axis milling units
At IDS, the Roland 5-axis and 4-axis dry mills were also presented. The DWX-50 features 5-axis simultaneous machining capability, a 5-station automatic tool changer with tool length sensor, and a diagnostic notification system that allows for minimal operator involvement. An integrated air blower system and an advanced dust collection system makes this one of the top Zirconia milling machines on the market. Additionally, the DWX-50 offers multicast capability, making it possible to connect up to four machines to one computer.
The DWX-4 is the world's most compact, yet professional dental mill. It combines simultaneous 4-axis milling with simple one-button operation. An included automated tool changer provides two tools for precision milling from start to unattended finish. The DWX-4 can be enhanced with the addition of an optional 4-position automatic tool changer (ATC) which supports up to four different tool sizes. Moreover, the DWX-4 can mill up to four different pin-type materials including hybrid ceramics simultaneously with an optional multi-pin clamp. As a result, prosthetics for up to four different patients can be produced in a single production run, saving time, labour and costs.
Both milling units are compatible with a vast range of materials including zirconia, PMMA, high performance polymers, wax, Peek and hybrid ceramics. This allows dental labs, big or small, to produce all sorts of prosthetic components digitally. Examples include crowns, bridges, frames, inlays, onlays and veneers.
