Assembly and initial set-up

Incline support holder
The incline support holder enables ergonomic handling of the
articulator. If mounted, it maintains the articulator at approx. a
45° angle. This position permits a superb overview of the model
mounted in the articulator.

Insert the incline support holder (7.2) into the holding device (7.1)
for the incline support holder. If necessary, the incline support
holder can be removed from the apparatus.

5. Handling and Operation

5.1

Centric position

The Stratos 100 features a precise centric locking system that can
be activated in the following positions:
5.1.1 Centric fixation (4.1) open
This position permits the simulation of jaw movements.
5.1.2 Centric fixation lock (4.1) closed
7.2
In this position, the two frames of the Stratos 100 can no longer
be separated and the articulator is fixed in the centric position.
The centric fixation can be opened by applying slight pressure.
This greatly facilitates handling for the user.
Loosen the centric fixation before carrying out
masticatory movements.
