Multimat®NT Multimat®NT press - DeguDent

3 Technical description
3.1 Base unit
Both units consist of an attractively designed and stable
metal housing (1) with a firing chamber top (2). The
heat inside the firing chamber (2) is generated by a
quartz muffle with an openly radiating filament winding.
The walls of the heating chamber are filled with insulating
ceramic fibres to keep the heat loss to a minimum (see
also 2.4 Safe handling of ceramic fibres page 7).
The firing objects are placed on the firing base (3)
together with the firing support. During the firing process,
the firing chamber is lowered onto the carrier plate, to be
raised again once the firing process has been completed.
The chamber is lowered and raised by a stepper motor
with a geared-down belt drive.
For more ease of handling, the firing object including the
firing support can be placed on the U-shaped magnetic
rest (4).
The touch screen (5) is ergonomically located at the front
of the unit. It allows you to activate the pre-defined (fixed)
firing programs or to define and store your own firing
programs. All firing processes are controlled by an
electronic microcontroller inside the unit.
The unit rests on four feet (6) for maximum stability.
The Multimat ® NT press additional features a pressing
function that allows mechanical pressing of pressable
ceramics within a running program. To achieve this, a
pressing cylinder (7) integrated into the upper part of the
pressing chamber is moved downwards by air pressure.
This also explains why the firing chamber of the Multimat ®
NT press is elongated (see illustration).
