The Midwest Stylus ATC incorporates an air driven highspeed turbine capable of speeds upwards of 300K rpm, combined with electronic circuitry providing automatic pressure compensation as torque is applied.
Translation:
Air drives it, electronics control it.
Circuit board monitors speed and torque to apply pressure as necessary to maintain constant cutting power (20 Watts) over a wide range of operation. Max power at 150K rpm can be maintained through 300K rpm providing a cutting efficiency that's hard to match.
Unit can be installed seemlessly with existing equipment, but of course, only the Stylus ATC handpiece can be used on that connection. Optimum operating pressure is 60, so you will need about 70 psig at the control box. Pressure varies as torque is applied and removed. Lowering pressure immediately as doctor stops cutting should help to reduce turbine wear and hopefully result in fewer repairs.
Two sizes available - Medium size head with 4 port spray, & Mini head with single port.
Handpiece is light with good ergonomics, and contains cellular optics which are proven to hold up better in the autoclave.
Very disappointed with this handpiece.
ReplyDeleteSwivel does NOT swivel.
Unit is mounted under rear Adec counter and drips oil onto floor from exhaust system even when lubricated per exact recommendations.
Do not purchase this handpiece.
I was reluctant at first ,due to very disapponting time with Midwest stylus durability/leakage/very expensive repairs.Unfortunately Midwest has said tough luck/no returns. I should have learned from this experience.
Hi Dude,
ReplyDeleteA dental handpiece is a mechanical device designed for dental treatment. Dental handpiece may be powered by air, electric, or compressed gas. You can classify dental handpieces by the handpiece revolutions per minute. There are low speed and high speed dental handpieces which uses an air system to operate several parts of the handpiece. Thanks...
