VHF R5 5-Axis Dental CAD/CAM Milling Machine

The VHF R5 5-Axis Milling Machine redefines automation and productivity in dental labs. Equipped with an integrated vacuum system and an automatic 10-disc changer, the R5 enables continuous, unattended milling. It supports both wet and dry milling and can handle materials such as titanium, zirconia, PMMA, and more.

The R5’s powerful 800-watt spindle operates at up to 80,000 RPM, ensuring high-speed precision milling. Its easy-to-use touchscreen and advanced CAM software make operation simple. The built-in camera system allows real-time monitoring of the milling process.

High-end dental restorations with the speed and efficiency of automation

The VHF R5 5-axis dental mill is an automated tool for wet and dry milling. It is made to handle many dental tasks with reliability and precision.

The VHF R5 can hold 150 kg while taking up little space. It has a linear axis accuracy of ±0.003 mm. This means it provides ultra HD accuracy in a way that fits your lab.

Unrivaled Wet & Dry Machining

Whether you are a dental clinic or lab, with the R5 from VHF Germany, you can simply process everything, 24 hours a day. R5 is a 5-axis system, designed and engineered to be fast and effortlessly between wet and dry machining. Thanks to the DirectClean™ Technology*, the R5 cleans and dries itself between jobs due to a groundbreaking package that includes an ionizer, self-cleaning and built-in dryer. Moreover, the unique material loading with DirectDisc™ Technology* of the changer with up to ten discs saves you valuable time.

Key Highlights

Maximum automation

R5 can process without interruption up to 10 discs or 60 blocks or abutments. With a tenfold blank changer for wet and dry milling and grinding, the R5 brings revolutionary approaches to the production of dental prostheses. The R5 disc changer is a robot arm with a pneumatic gripper for swift changing. The removable tool magazine holds 16 tools and the tool changer does not require user intervention.

Utmost accuracy

The R5 with linear axes X-/Y-/Z-axis swivels the high-frequency spindle (B axis) by up to ±35°, therefore the workpiece holder only needs one moving axis (A axis). This makes the entire system gain stability and have the lowest vibration operation. The repetition of the linear axes of ±0.003 mm ensures a unique precision in ultra HD.

Material accessibility

VHF’s R5 covers the broadest range of materials in 98 mm disc format, 38 block materials, and over 800 titanium and chrome-cobalt prefab abutment blanks.
