Dental manifold assemblies from the ASCO division of Emerson Electric manage compressed air and other functions in a simple, compact unit that helps reduce design time for dental equipment manufacturers.
The three variations of the ASCO dental manifold assemblies combine different functions to make the design and integration easier. One module handles all three dental tasks—water irrigation, air drying, and an air-operated turbine for variable speed hand tools. Another controls two different air flows and a water channel. The third module controls water irrigation and has two open channels to control syringe and scaler hand tools.
Furthermore, the manifold assemblies are expandable, enabling up to four manifold blocks to be joined together. This provides the delivery system console with the capability to accommodate up to 12 unique configurations. Each module is equipped with a manual-turn flow controller for added flexibility.
Dental offices require machines with a small footprint, making small size important. The compact manifold assemblies enable OEMs to provide a significant range of options that accommodate the diversity of tools required by dentists. These include:
- Pneumatic rotating tools with interchangeable tool heads for brushing, polishing, and cutting
- Water spray tools for wetting and cleaning teeth
- Air spray tools for drying the teeth and blowing away debris
- Vacuum suction tools to remove debris and liquid waste
