What to Look for When Buying a Used imes-icore
imes-icore CORiTEC machines are precision instruments built to produce dental restorations to micron-level tolerances. German engineering gives these machines excellent longevity, but dental production environments demand careful inspection on used units.
Test the spindle and axis system. CORiTEC machines use high-frequency spindles from 0.4 kW on compact models to 3.2 kW on the 650i, with speeds up to 50,000 RPM. Listen for bearing noise across the full RPM range. On 5-axis models, verify smooth motion in all rotary axes.
Inspect the tool changer and clamping system. CORiTEC machines feature automatic tool changers (10 to 20 positions) and zero-point clamping for blank positioning. Cycle the changer through every position. Test zero-point clamping for repeatable seating, as worn interfaces cause positional errors in finished restorations.
Verify wet and dry processing capability. Most CORiTEC models support both wet milling (for metals, glass ceramics) and dry milling (for zirconia, PMMA, wax). Confirm that coolant delivery, drainage, and filtration function properly.
Check the control software and blank changer. imes-icore machines run iCAM V5 or SmartControl software. Verify that the software boots cleanly, communicates with machine axes, and accepts standard file formats. On Loader variants, test the blank changer through a full cycle.
imes-icore CORiTEC Chairside & Compact Systems
CORiTEC one & one+
The CORiTEC one is a compact 4-axis chairside milling machine with a robust aluminum frame, HD touchscreen control, and the ability to process CAD/CAM blocks and pre-milled abutments. The CORiTEC one+ upgrades to 5-axis simultaneous machining, expanding compatibility to disc-based materials. Both models operate without external compressed air.
CORiTEC 150i & 250i Series
The CORiTEC 150i series provides full blank processing in a minimal footprint. The CORiTEC 250i PRO+ delivers a strong price-performance ratio with a 1 kW spindle, 6 mm shaft tools, 10-fold tool changer, and 5-axis machining in wet and dry modes. Loader versions add a 6-fold blank changer with zero-point clamping for automated overnight production.
imes-icore CORiTEC Lab & Production Systems
CORiTEC 350i Series
The CORiTEC 350i is imes-icore's flagship laboratory platform, processing all relevant dental materials in a single machine: zirconia, titanium, cobalt-chrome, PMMA, glass ceramics, wax, and composites. The 350i Loader adds a 12-position automatic blank changer for unattended production. The 350i PRO upgrades to high-resolution servo motors with absolute measuring systems. The newest 350i X PRO features a 3 kW spindle and 15-fold workpiece changer.
CORiTEC 650i & 850i Series
The CORiTEC 650i targets premium milling centers with a natural granite axis structure, linear drives, torque motors, and a high-frequency spindle (up to 50,000 RPM, 3.2 kW, HSK 25 interface). The 650i Loader includes a 16-slot blank changer for fully automated 24/7 production. The CORiTEC 850i adds full robotic automation for both tools and blanks.
imes-icore CORiTEC AM (Additive Manufacturing)
The CORiTEC AM100 metal 3D printer uses laser melting technology to produce dental frameworks including crowns, bridges, superstructures, and implant components. Capable of producing up to 250 tooth units per build cycle, the AM100 serves large laboratories seeking to add additive capability alongside subtractive CORiTEC milling.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used imes-icore Machines
Are used imes-icore machines reliable?
Yes. Every CORiTEC machine is manufactured to order in Eiterfeld, Germany. The company has produced over 5,000 machines since 2002. Polymer concrete and granite machine frames deliver long service life.
What materials can imes-icore machines process?
CORiTEC machines handle all standard dental CAD/CAM materials: zirconia, titanium, cobalt-chrome, PMMA, glass ceramics, wax, composites, and pre-milled abutment blanks. Wet and dry modes accommodate the full range.
What should I inspect before buying a used imes-icore?
Test the spindle across its full RPM range, cycle the tool changer through every position, verify wet and dry coolant systems, and confirm that the control software boots and communicates properly. On Loader models, test the automatic blank changer. Inspect zero-point clamping surfaces for wear.
What imes-icore models hold their value best?
CORiTEC 350i series machines (especially Loader and PRO variants) and CORiTEC 650i systems maintain strong resale values. Machines with current software and documented service histories command premiums. Call (844) 478-8181 for current valuations.
What is the difference between imes-icore and isel?
imes-icore was established in 2002 as a spin-off from the isel Group (founded 1972), which manufactures industrial automation and CNC components. imes-icore focused on integrated CNC/CAD/CAM systems and became a global leader in dental production technology.
