8.2. Fastening of an occlusion model with an occlusion clamp
OBSERVE THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
With the aid of the GC occlusion clamps you can fasten the upper and lower jaw model easily and conveniently in non-
articulated occlusion. The occlusion is closed in this manner and remains firmly joined, even during mechanical
movement.
The occlusion clamp for non-articulated occlusion is an optional accessory for the ALS 2 and can be obtained from GC.

FASTENING
•
Fasten first the lower jaw model to the object holder with the knurled screw.
•
Place the upper jaw model on the lower jaw model in occlusion.
•
Loosen the ball knob (3) as much as necessary to allow the pressure fitting to be moved forwards and backwards
Fasten the occlusion clamp to the floating stop of the object holder by pushing the metal pins (4) into the holes
of the floating stop on the object holder (5).
•
Hold the occlusion model firmly.
•
Push the pressure fitting (3) on the ball knob as central as possible over the upper jaw model.
•
Loosen the locking screw (1) until the fastening rod (2) of the pressure fitting
can be moved up and down.
•
Hold the ball knob and press the upper jaw model onto the lower jaw
model.
•
Carefully tighten the screw (1) and the ball knob (3) until the occlusion
model can no longer be moved.
The occlusion model is clamped.
•
Now place the object holder inside the scanner as usual.
