Art of articulation

Designed for efficiency and simplicity, the lightweight Hanau Ulti-Mate articulator combines high-end features in an economical, ergonomic unit. It offers the ability to lay the base at 45°, which positions a mounted case to the technician at a “work friendly” angle for hands-free tabletop viewing. The removable extension pin allows the articulator to be opened without the top half swinging into the lower base. A simple, effective, push-pull centric locking pin uses a detent system with a magnetized fossa, replacing fragile spring latches or screw adjustments to simplify activating the lateral and protrusive movements. Magnetized fossa eliminate premature separation of upper and lower halves. A magnetic mounting system fits this instrument allowing the plates to snap into place for precise and repeatable alignment.
