"We are excited to offer this industry leading integrated technology to our customers. In keeping with our mission to make our customers' lives easier, it was critical to select a company with a similar culture, care for the customer and a vision for continuous innovation. We found that in NSK. Working together we will challenge the industry with new and exciting integrated technologies," said Jason Spencer, President of DCI.
“It is incredible to see two great companies come together—especially in our current climate—Our integrated motor system will add capabilities across DCI Edge and NSK product lines, expanding treatment possibilities for everyone. We are so excited for customers to try it,” said Colan Rogers, President of NSK America.
The integrated motor has a custom interface to guide clinicians as they work, placing all the control at their fingertips. Its ergonomic design and intuitive operation help minimize unnecessary movement, keeping treatment as streamlined as possible for greater efficiency and a better treatment experience overall.
The motor systems unique touchpad interface is engineered for complete integration with the NSK NLZ E Electric Motor that performs at a speed of 100-40,000 min-1 and a max torque of 4.2 Ncm. For enhanced safety, NSK’s proprietary Contra-Check Function is built-in to detect abnormalities caused by deterioration of the electric attachment and insufficient maintenance before use.
To eliminate integration anxiety for the clinician, all integration options, including the new touchpad and electric motor, will be installed at the DCI factory in Newberg, OR. The system is designed to integrate across the entire DCI Edge Delivery Unit line and can be retrofitted to existing Series 5 Delivery Units. The factory-installed options for instrumentation include essential diagnostic and clinical devices, such as the ACTEON® SOPRO intraoral camera family, piezoelectric scalers, curing lights and the Dentsply Sirona Cavitron® System. Efficient endodontic treatment capabilities for both rotary and reciprocating files, including WaveOne® technology, are also part of the integration experience.
DCI Edge operatory equipment is available through DCI authorized Edge dealers. The DCI Edge product line is built with dentists, patients, and service technicians in mind, enabling clinicians to work more efficiently and comfortably.
