The Programat® EP 5010 G2 is a premium combination furnace that can be used as both a press and ceramic furnace. This highly innovative, efficient and userfriendly furnace optimally combines advanced technology and design. The Programat infrared technology measures the exact temperature at the surface of the objects being fired or the investment ring and so opens up a multitude of new possibilities to enhance the comfort, reliability and efficiency of the process. Pressing is now even easier and more economical thanks to the fully automatic press function (FPF): Simply put the investment ring into the furnace and press the start button – everything else is performed by the furnace itself. The integrated crack detection system (CDS) interrupts the pressing process as soon as it detects a crack in the investment ring. This ensures that the restorations are optimally protected. In addition to a wide array of Ivoclar programs that are especially coordinated with materials such as IPS e.max® Press, the furnace provides space for 500 individual firing programs and 20 individual press programs.
