Abstract: The device (1) according to the invention aims to join at least two medicine capsules (A, B) by adhesive bonding in a reliable and economical manner, in particular in the context of industrial production. To do this, this device comprises at least one matrix (10), which at least partially delimits a recess (15), for depositing capsules (Eight, B), and also a chamber (16), this recess and this chamber being separated from each other by a deformable wall (14) of the matrix, which matrix is designed to move elastically, by pneumatic action of its chamber (16), from a first configuration, in which its recess (15) receives the capsules with a glue (Z) interposed between them, to a second configuration, in which its deformable wall (14) at least partially envelops the capsules by flexible deformation, in such a way as to at least partially enclosed these capsules between the deformable wall and a bottom of the recess in order to align them and press them against one another.
