2240 Articulator with 9185 Indirect Mounting Facebow Whipmix

Whipmix Articulator Model 2240

The MODEL 2240 features the "Accumount" Mounting System interchanging mounted casts between articulators. The MODEL 2240's ergonomic frame design offers:

• Interframe spacing of over 4 inches allowing easy mounting of even the bulkiest casts
• Rounded edges and frame corners for enhanced visibility and posterior access
• Bilateral elastics provide optimum feel during excursive movements and can be easily detached to remove the upper frame
• Quick-acting centric lock allows easy return of the articulator to centric position and simple hinge movement
• Upper frame which can easily be set at an open position for convenience during laboratory procedures
• Condylar guidance featuring:
  • Adjustable condylar inclination with curved eminentia
  • Immediate side shift
  • Fixed intercondylar distance of 110 mm

The 2240 is so accurate and easy to use that it was "rated excellent or good by 100% of evaluators" by an independent research institute.

"Accumount" Mounting System

The patented "Accumount" Mounting System, makes it possible to exchange mounted casts between any MODEL 2240 or between any MODEL 2340 ARTICULATOR without loss of accuracy. During manufacture, each Articulator has a special table firmly and precisely attached to the lower frame using a special fixture and low fusing alloy.

Advantages of Interchangeability

• Users can transfer mounted casts without loss of accuracy
• Mounted casts need no longer be sent on an articulator when shipped to or from a laboratory using the same articulator model
• Reduces the number of instruments required in both the dental office and dental laboratory
• Instrument damage caused by shipping the articulator to and from the dental lab is eliminated
• No expensive equipment or time-consuming calibration is necessary with the "Accumount" system

Whip Mix Indirect Mounting Facebows 9185

#9185 Facebow for 2000, 3000 and 4000 Series Articulators

Whip Mix INDIRECT MOUNTING FACE-BOWS combine the time proven face-bow registration technique of the traditional "QUICKMOUNT" FACE-BOW with the many advantages of indirect mounting. The indirect mounting procedure offers the user more access, increased stability, greater ease of use, and optimum instrument efficiency.

Incorporating the indirect mounting technique does not require dramatic technique changes. The face-bow registration is taken on the patient utilizing the same technique as with the original Whip Mix "QUICKMOUNT" FACE-BOW. Once the registration is obtained, the transfer assembly is removed from the face-bow and positioned on to the lower frame of the articulator.

Three indirect mounting face-bows have been designed to be used with specific Whip Mix Articulators as described below in the chart.

Additional transfer assemblies are available separately which allow the operator to mount one case and, with the aid of an additional transfer assembly, have the face-bow available for a second face-bow registration.
