Firing Parameters
Compatible ceramic furnaces for the IPS e.max CAD-on technique
A special firing program with pre-drying function has been developed for the Fusion/Crystallization firing in the IPS e.max
CAD-on technique. The firing parameters – particularly the pre-drying time and the pre-drying temperature – have been
precisely adjusted to the IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect fusion glass-ceramic. This ensures optimum firing results.
Due to the required functions of the ceramic furnace, only the following ceramic furnaces may be used:
Programat P300
Note:
In order to offer all the required program functions (pre-drying function), the software version
V5.1 or higher must be installed on the ceramic furnace.
Programat P500, P700 and EP 5000
The firing parameters can be manually programmed on a free programmable slot or loaded
to the furnace by means of a software update (available in spring 2011).
