Pressing­
Carry out the following preparatory steps for pressing before the preheating cycle for the investment ring has been
completed:
– Provide a
cold IPS Alox Plunger and a cold IPS e.max Press ingot in the desired shade (please refer to the material
selection table on page 52).
– Dip the cold IPS Alox Plunger into the opening of the IPS Alox Plunger Separator and keep it ready for use.
– Turn on the press furnace (e.g. Programat EP 5000) in time so that the self-test and preheating phase are completed.
– Select the press program for IPS e.max Press and the desired investment ring size.
Remove the investment ring from the preheating furnace immediately after completion of the preheating cycle. This step
may take max. 30 seconds to prevent the investment ring from cooling down too much.
– Place the
cold IPS e.max Press ingot into the hot investment ring.
– Insert the ingots in the investment ring with the non-imprinted side facing down. The imprinted side faces up to check
the ingot shade.
– Place the side of the cold IPS Alox Plunger which has been coated with Separator into the hot investment ring.
– Use the investment ring tongs to place the loaded investment ring in the centre of the hot press furnace.
– The selected press program is started by pressing START.
After the end of the press cycle (optical and/or acoustic signal) proceed as follows:
– Remove the investment ring from the press furnace using the investment ring tongs immediately after pressing.
– Place the investment ring on a cooling grid to cool in a place protected from draft.
– Do not speed up cooling, e.g. by blasting with compressed air.
