AUSTROMAT 354 press-i-dent: 200 standard firing programs can be clearly displayed in the Program Manager and are available for individual adaptation. Additional programs are either archived in the integrated memory in sets of 200 programs each, or simply loaded from the DEKEMA DREAM database from the internet. At present, more than 60,000 firing programs are available from nearly every dental ceramics manufacturer. Additional memory expansion or simple data transfers are also possible through the USB interface. The unique user interface of the AUSTROMAT 354 press-i-dent can be operated using the large touchscreen as well as the integrated webtechnology on each PC or Mac in the network. A JAVA™ capable browser is all that is needed to contact the AUSTROMAT 354 press-i-dent through a freely adjustable IP address. By incorporating the furnace into the network environment, online diagnostics or updates are also possible. A backup and recovery function through the USB interface reliably protects against data loss. Of course, firing programs can be retrieved or read out through the USB interface. In addition, the program runs can be recorded on a USB stick or accessed via FTP online. The image viewer can also supply files via FTP or USB. These functions make it easy to connect to “digital dental laboratories.”
The high-resolution screen can graphically portray the firing process or show patient images. The menu-guided professional mode enables precise entry of the drying and cooling steps. When programming in standard mode, the user can access saved (integrated) cooling steps. The use of the automated press time function (familiar from the AUSTROMAT 3001 press-i-dent) minimizes the cooling time of the pressed ceramic in the furnace and offers increased reliability.
Both of the detailed and the comprehensive programming needs of dental technicians can be accommodated in classic mode. The absolutely unrestricted programming language from the legendary AUSTROMAT 3001and AUSTROMAT 3001 press-i-dent offers an up-to-date and comfortable way for inputting data. A QWERTZ keyboard on the large touch-sensitive screen can also be operated with a USB mouse. Firing and pressing cycles can be programmed in any sequence without any time limits. This absolutely unrestricted programming option enables the use of any and all firing and pressing techniques. For example, the vacuum can be released while maintaining a specific pressure, or different pressures can be used in a single procedure.

The proven DEKEMA AUTODRY function can be activated in all programming modes. The simulated measurement of the object temperature has been further refined and adapted to the needs of modern ceramics.
The controlled electromechanical feed of the innovative upward pressing system requires no extra connection for compressed air and opens up unique possibilities. For example, different shades (presently up to five) can be pressed simultaneously in a muffle ring in a single step (trixpress muffle system not included in the scope of delivery).
The closed insulating system enabled by the upward pressing movement guarantees outstanding firing results even in the high and low temperature range.
Using the traditional silver wire test yields superb repeatability. The maximum vacuum reliability of the AUSTROMAT 354 press-i-dent is a reflection of standard DEKEMA quality.
