| Material | Program name | Key manual note | |----------|--------------|----------------| | IPS e.max CAD crystallisation | e.max CAD | Use slow cooling for full translucency | | IPS e.max Press (invested) | e.max Press | Do use vacuum during pressing | | Zirconia (standard) | Zirlux 16 | Ramp rate 8–12°C/min – slower for >20mm spans | | Zirconia (high translucency) | Zirlux HT | Lower final temp by 10–15°C vs standard |
Always add a 5-minute drying hold at 300°C for thick zirconia (>2.5mm) to avoid microcracking. 5. The Maintenance Schedule (What Actually Wears Out) Ivoclar Programat P200 Manual
If you work with high-translucency zirconia or lithium disilicate, you’ve likely seen the Ivoclar Programat P200 . It’s a compact, high-temperature furnace designed for speed and precision. But here’s the catch: assuming it works like a standard porcelain furnace can ruin a case.
| Code | Meaning | Fix (from manual troubleshooting) | |------|---------|-----------------------------------| | E-001 | Temp ramp too slow | Check elements & power supply | | E-017 | Vacuum not reached | Check door seal & pump oil | | E-105 | Cooling fan failure | Clean fan filter (rear panel) | | E-208 | Thermocouple open circuit | Replace thermocouple | Drop a comment or DM us
| Part | Interval (manual recommendation) | |------|----------------------------------| | Sintering tray | Every 50 cycles – inspect for cracks | | Thermocouple | Replace every 2 years or 500 cycles | | Heating elements | ~1000 cycles or when ramp time increases 20% | | Glass door seal | Monthly – clean with isopropyl alcohol | | Vacuum pump oil | Every 6 months (if external pump) |

Warning directly from the manual: “Contaminated trays (from glaze, saliva, or investment) will poison platinum-rhodium elements.” Use dedicated trays for sintering only.
