The 5-axis milling machine for dry machining.
Proven quality now even better: With the new K5+, you will achieve perfect milling results. Process a wide range of materials and indications (blanks up to 40 mm) with five axes. Revolutionary technologies, such as tool-free blank clamping and an integrated ionizer, help you achieve top-quality results. The particularly stable machine bed construction made of a solid cast body ensures first-class machining results.

“The K5+ gives me the accuracy and speed for crown and bridge, removable and implant cases that I need in my busy lab. I cannot afford to compromise, I need to be as efficient as possible. With the vhf K5+ I found the right tool to succeed.”
“I can do 80% of my work with the K5+.”
Save valuable time with vhf’s technical innovations that allow you to work even more efficiently. No matter what you have in mind, the K5+ guarantees fast workflows and supports you optimally through the machining process. In addition, the particularly stable machine bed design made of a solid cast body reduces vibration and ensures first-class machining results – even when milling cobalt chrome.
In the machine‘s practical accessory drawer, tools and material blanks are well organized and immediately at hand. An Administered Tool Board for milling tools is also integrated into the drawer. Its numbered slots are managed via the DENTALCAM software, resulting in an active tool pool of 30 pieces in total.
Revolutionary technologies such as DIRECTDISC Technology for one-handed and tool-free blank clamping and an integrated ionizer, which largely neutralizes the static charge of plastic chips such as PMMA and thus considerably reduces the cleaning effort, help you to achieve this.
K5+ accessories: With the appropriate holders, you can also easily fabricate prefab abutments from CoCr.
K5+ accessories: With the appropriate holders, you can also easily fabricate block materials.
For interested customers, the basic model K5 is still available in our portfolio. This model lacks some features like ionizer, camera and the tool-free blank clamping with DIRECTDISC Technology.
