E5. For digital dental technology in the practice lab and the laboratory.
The innovative milling machine.
The E5 requires no compressed air, therefore you have maximum freedom in the choice of the installation site and also benefit from minimal operating costs. The open system architecture of the E5 makes your entry into the digital production of dental restorations quick and easy, and fits perfectly into your workflows. The integrated CAM software enables you to get started right away!

“The E5 from vhf has enabled me to get started with digital dental technology. I can now provide almost any indication in my practice lab. Virtually no reworking is required, and the E5 is extremely easy to operate.”
Highlights
Simply EASY
Optimize your digital workflow, enjoy maximum freedom and achieve perfect results with optimum efficiency.
5-axis dry milling at the highest level. With extremely simple operation.
Best results with ease
The machine has been developed with an optimized weight of only 47 kg, and has been manufactured without compromise from high-quality industrial components, thus fulfilling our claim of Creating Perfection. How do you benefit? The E5 achieves impressive, first-class results!
No compressed air needed – due to AIRTOOL
One great innovation of the E5 is that it uses no compressed air: The E5 requires neither an external compressed air connection nor an integrated compressor, which is possible with our patent-pending AIRTOOL.
The turbine blades on the AIRTOOL use the high speeds of the high-frequency spindle to generate a powerful air flow which keeps the workpiece free from dust and chippings. These are removed by suction.
Maximum freedom
The E5 not only allows you to machine discs; you can use the appropriate holder to process up to 6 blocks of different sizes with minimal effort.
Automatic tool changer for 16 standard tools plus an AIRTOOL
Despite its compact design, the E5 offers a generous working chamber with plenty of space in which to clamp the workpieces or load the automatic tool changer.

Getting started in digital dentistry
The decision to invest in the E4 and E5 dental milling machines wasn’t difficult for Dr. Tim Wiesner. Since purchasing the two devices in the new vhf EASE CLASS product series, they’ve been operating almost every day. In our conversation at his Tübingen dental practice, he explains why he chose the two vhf machines and explains his route to digital chairside production.
