2240 Articulator with Quickmount Facebow Whipmix

Model 2240

The MODEL 2240 features the "Accumount" Mounting System interchanging mounted casts between articulators. The MODEL 2240's ergonomic frame design offers:

• Interframe spacing of over 4 inches allowing easy mounting of even the bulkiest casts
• Rounded edges and frame corners for enhanced visibility and posterior access
• Bilateral elastics provide optimum feel during excursive movements and can be easily detached to remove the upper frame
• Quick-acting centric lock allows easy return of the articulator to centric position and simple hinge movement
• Upper frame which can easily be set at an open position for convenience during laboratory procedures
• Condylar guidance featuring:
  • Adjustable condylar inclination with curved eminentia
  • Immediate side shift
  • Fixed intercondylar distance of 110 mm

The 2240 is so accurate and easy to use that it was "rated excellent or good by 100% of evaluators" by an independent research institute.

"Accumount" Mounting System

The patented "Accumount" Mounting System, makes it possible to exchange mounted casts between any MODEL 2240 or between any MODEL 2340 ARTICULATOR without loss of accuracy. During manufacture, each Articulator has a special table firmly and precisely attached to the lower frame using a special fixture and low fusing alloy.

Advantages of Interchangeability

• Users can transfer mounted casts without loss of accuracy
• Mounted casts need no longer be sent on an articulator when shipped to or from a laboratory using the same articulator model
• Reduces the number of instruments required in both the dental office and dental laboratory
• Instrument damage caused by shipping the articulator to and from the dental lab is eliminated
• No expensive equipment or time-consuming calibration is necessary with the "Accumount" system

QuickMount FaceBows

Model 8645 "QUICKMOUNT" FACE-BOWS provide a convenient, quick and accurate method of securing an axis location without the use of expensive equipment and time-consuming techniques. Employing as the three reference points, the two external auditory meatus of the ears and the bridge of the nose, no measurements or markings on the patient are needed. The self-centering caliper design is easily adjusted, and the nasion relator utilizes the bridge of the nose to obtain an accurate and reproducible anterior reference.

The MODEL 8645 FACE-BOW is compatible with all Whip Mix Articulators, and allows for the recording of an approximate intercondylar distance. The MODEL 8645 utilizes "T" screws that are tightened by hand, which are a convenient and time-saving feature
