Tablet Tooling in Compression Machines

This document provides an overview of tablet tooling used in compression machines. It discusses the general terminology of tooling, different shapes of dies and punches, international standards, materials used for construction, coatings, quality control processes, maintenance, and new developments. Key points include that round, oval, capsule and other geometric shaped punch-die sets are used to manufacture different types of tablets. Common materials for dies and punches include various steel grades. Coatings like titanium nitride and electroless nickel plating protect against abrasion. Quality is ensured through visual and dimensional inspections. Proper storage and maintenance extends tooling lifespan.

Quality Control
• Visual Inspection
• Dimensional Inspection

 Punches:  Dies:
  Height and outside
Overall length
diameter
 Working length
 Die bore diameter using
 Cup depth expandable, small bore
 Tips – round and capsule gauges
 Tip and Barrel  Die bore major and minor
concentricity axis using Vernier caliper
 Head, Head flat and Neck and expandable, small
 Barrel bore gauges
 Die Bore concentricity
 Squareness
Maintenance of Dies and Punches

• Why is it required?
 To improve the lifespan of toolings.

• How are they Maintained?


 Fitting instructions usually as per the
manual given.
 Warm soap water and a soft brush are
suitable for thorough cleaning
 Not to be touched by bare fingers
 Thoroughly coated with an acid-free oil in
order to prevent corrosion.
Contd..
 Toolings should be regularly checked.
 Polishing –
 By hand
 “Drag Finishing” machine
 Storage cabinets for tooling –
 Clashing
 Dusting
 Humidity
New Developments
