Used KaVo Pan eXam + RAYSCAN Alpha Plus FOB Shanghai at USD 9,000-10,000

For buyers searching for less-common but highly respected dental imaging platforms — KaVo and RAYSCAN — our Shanghai warehouse currently stocks KaVo Pan eXam and RAYSCAN Alpha Plus at USD 9,000–10,000 FOB Shanghai (or EXW). These are the “specialist’s brands’” in the used dental imaging market: known within the profession for build quality and specific capability, but less frequently marketed than Vatech, Planmeca, or Carestream. This page covers both platforms and who should consider them.

KaVo Pan eXam — German-Engineered Digital Panoramic

Platform overview

KaVo is one of the most respected names in dentistry — founded in Germany, historically associated with premium dental handpieces, dental chairs, and imaging equipment. The KaVo Pan eXam is the brand’s digital panoramic unit: focused capability (panoramic only, no CBCT, no cephalometric), but executed with German engineering rigor and long service life expectations.

Why KaVo specifically

• Build quality: KaVo’s manufacturing standards are consistently among the highest in dental equipment — mechanical components, electronics, and imaging chain are engineered for 15–20 year service life
• Image quality: panoramic image quality consistently rated among the best in the 2D panoramic category
• Brand trust with patients: KaVo name carries weight with informed patients; “German-engineered” positioning
• Parts availability: KaVo maintains parts supply through its global service network; long-term parts availability is better than some Asian competitors
• Reliability: field-demonstrated low failure rate; units in this inventory typically from well-maintained clinical environments

Clinical specifications

• Modality: 2D digital panoramic only (no cephalometric, no CBCT)
• Panoramic programs: full-arch, child panoramic, TMJ, bitewing segments, sinus
• Detector: CMOS digital detector
• Software: KaVo imaging platform (or DICOM export to third-party viewer)
• Exposure time: typical 10–16 seconds panoramic scan

Best fit for

• General practice replacing aging panoramic with premium 2D capability
• Practice specifically wanting KaVo brand and German engineering at accessible price
• Practice not needing cephalometric or CBCT capability (panoramic-only is sufficient)
• Practice in German/European market where KaVo brand has strong local recognition
• Long-term equipment strategy prioritizing service life over initial capital

Used market context

New KaVo Pan eXam retails USD 32,000–50,000 depending on configuration. US used markets typically list used KaVo Pan eXam at USD 18,000–32,000. Our FOB Shanghai at USD 9,000–10,000 is direct-from-Asia inventory without Western dealer markup.

RAYSCAN Alpha Plus (RCT700-SC) — Premium 4-in-1 Platform

Platform overview

RAYSCAN is the imaging brand of Ray Co., a specialized Korean medical imaging manufacturer. The RAYSCAN Alpha Plus (model RCT700-SC) is a 4-in-1 platform — the most comprehensive imaging capability on our inventory in a single unit:

• Panoramic
• Cephalometric (lateral + PA)
• CBCT 3D volume capture
• Object scan (cast digitization) — unique to RAYSCAN platform in this inventory

The object scan capability

“Object scan” is a specialty mode where dental casts and models are digitized into 3D volume using the CBCT detector. This converts physical plaster casts into digital STL files for CAD/CAM workflow — useful when a practice has extensive physical cast archive but needs digital transfer for modern workflow integration (aligner fabrication, digital records archival, tele-dentistry). Not a substitute for a dedicated lab scanner, but a useful bonus capability for a practice already investing in CBCT.

Clinical specifications

• Modality: Panoramic + Cephalometric + CBCT + Object Scan (4-in-1)
• CBCT FOV: large-FOV capability up to 16×10 cm
• Cephalometric: lateral and PA ceph capture
• Software: SmartDent + Xelis (included on PC)
• Detector: CMOS flat-panel

Best fit for

• Comprehensive multi-disciplinary practice needing all imaging modalities
• Orthognathic surgical practice (large-FOV CBCT + ceph + cast digitization)
• Academic / teaching institution where broad capability matters
• Practice with physical cast archive wanting to digitize existing models
• Single-unit investment strategy replacing multiple aging machines

Why RAYSCAN specifically at used equipment tier

• 4-in-1 in one unit: comprehensive capability rarely available in single-unit used inventory
• Large-FOV CBCT: 16×10 cm handles orthognathic and airway imaging
• Object scan: unique bonus capability for cast digitization workflow
• Korean premium brand: strong clinical track record in Korean and export markets
• Software ecosystem: Xelis software integrates with third-party planning tools

Used market context

New RAYSCAN Alpha Plus retails USD 70,000–95,000. US used markets list RAYSCAN Alpha Plus RCT700 at USD 25,000 (seen recently at Pre-Owned Dental Inc.). Our FOB Shanghai at USD 9,000–10,000 is substantially below current Western used market pricing.

Comparing KaVo Pan eXam vs RAYSCAN Alpha Plus — not the same use case

These two units serve completely different clinical contexts despite being in the same inventory and price bracket:

• KaVo Pan eXam: focused 2D panoramic workhorse, compact footprint, simpler workflow, German brand heritage
• RAYSCAN Alpha Plus: comprehensive 4-in-1 capability, larger footprint, sophisticated workflow, Korean flagship platform

If your practice needs only panoramic: KaVo. If your practice needs comprehensive imaging including CBCT: RAYSCAN. The price is the same at our warehouse — the clinical capability is not.

What USD 9,000–10,000 includes on KaVo and RAYSCAN units

• Main unit fully tested before shipment
• OEM software pre-installed on configured PC with monitor
• Pre-shipment video demonstration — unit powered on, full rotation, sample image on video with your company name & date
• Calibration data backup
• Export-grade wooden crate for ocean freight
• Full export documentation (invoice, packing list, certificate of origin)
• English software interface (confirmed per unit)
• Email / WhatsApp support for installation

Brand-specific considerations

KaVo service availability

KaVo maintains service networks particularly in European, Middle Eastern, and Latin American markets. Service availability for gray-market used KaVo equipment varies by destination-country distributor policy. Many local dental imaging technicians can service KaVo hardware.

RAYSCAN service availability

RAYSCAN service network is strongest in Korea, Japan, and key Asian/Middle Eastern markets. Outside Korea-connected distribution networks, service availability is more limited than for Vatech or Planmeca. Buyers in Western markets should verify service availability before committing.

RAYSCAN software (Xelis) licensing

Xelis is the premium 3D analysis software bundled with RAYSCAN Alpha Plus. Units ship with the Xelis version current to the original unit configuration. Full clinical functionality is intact. Newer Xelis versions would require RAYSCAN licensing arrangement.

Year of manufacture

KaVo and RAYSCAN inventory is typically 2013–2018 vintage. Specific year of manufacture and exposure count confirmed per unit on inquiry.

Installation considerations

KaVo Pan eXam

• Floor space: 1.8×1.5 m typical footprint (compact)
• Ceiling height: 2.4 m minimum

• FOB Shanghai (our inventory): USD 9,000–10,000 for either platform

Common questions

Is RAYSCAN object-scan mode actually useful?

For practices with existing plaster cast archives that they want to digitize — yes. For modern digital-first practices using intraoral scanners — less useful. Consider object-scan as bonus capability rather than primary purchase justification.

Is KaVo Pan eXam really just panoramic?

Yes. Pan eXam is panoramic-only. For panoramic + cephalometric, consider Vatech PaX-400C Dual Sensor or Planmeca ProMax 2D. For CBCT capability, consider Vatech PaX-i3D, Planmeca ProMax 3D, Carestream CS 9300 Select, or RAYSCAN Alpha Plus.

How do I verify KaVo or RAYSCAN authenticity?

Serial numbers are verified against OEM records as part of pre-shipment quality check. Video demonstration before shipment includes serial number capture for documentation.
