5.1 Centric position
The Stratos 200 features a precise centric locking system
that can be activated in the following three positions:
5.1.1 Centric fixation lock (4.1) open
This position permits the simulation of jaw movements.
If the centric rubber bands (4.2) are removed, the two
frames can be separated.
5.1.2 Centric fixation lock (4.1) closed
In this position, the two frames of the Stratos 200 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 faciliates handling
for the user.
5.1.3 Centric fixation (4.1) locked
To lock the centric fixation completely, e.g. if the
articulator has to be transported, or if no movements are
desired, pull the joint axis into the precisely defined, final
position.
Loosen the centric fixation before carrying out
masticatory movements.
