xraytan2_photo2_caseID161 (1)The X-ray tank + lock + guide assembly consists of a very high frequency generator for dental radiology. The parts in this assembly are made of pressure die cast Zamak 5 (ZA4IUG), an alloy which offers the following functions for this application: mechanical strength, high atomic mass, imperviousness, and the possibility of black cataphoresis coating. Radiology in the health world is continuously improving and new requirements are appearing– user friendliness, precision, reliability, option, and adjustment ranges– without considering the economic advantages. These reasons explain why Zamak was chosen to make these parts. Parts supplied by Siobra.
