  • Patent number: 6451228
    Abstract: An adjusting method for a rotary tablet press with an angle pulse encoder for evaluating the pressing force course at the individual punches in at least one pressing station, in which the angle pulse encoder per revolution of the press rotor produces a pulse per revolution and per rotational angle value produces an angle pulse, characterised by the following steps: the angle pulse encoder is rigidly assembled relative to the rotor shaft in any position the rotor with a predetermined punch is moved visually under the middle of a main pressing roller (coarse position) the rotor is rotated until the pulse per revolution appears, and the angle pulses until the pulse per revolution are counted by a machine computer and their number is stored the computer computes the coarse positions of all punches, expressed in angle pulses, in relation to the pulse per revolution and produces on rotation of the rotor one coarse position pulse per punch in the computer to each coarse position there is allocated a measuring w

  • Patent number: 6319435
    Abstract: A method for the production monitoring with the manufacture of tablets in a rotary tabletting machine, with a row of upper and lower punches arranged in pairs, which cooperate with matrix bores, in which for each punch pair the maximum of the pressing force is measured, via a preselected number of readings (measuring row) an actual mean value is computed and compared to a nominal mean value and the supply of material to the individual matrix bores (filling degree) is changed when the deviation exceeds a predetermined measure, wherein before forming the mean value those pressing force readings of each measuring row, which significantly deviate with respect to other readings, are eliminated (freak value test).

  • Patent number: 6074584
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing pressed parts from hard metal, ceramic, sintered metal or likewise, in which a part of a charge of a powder-like or granular original material is filled into a pressing mould and is pressed with at least one pressing stamp against a counter surface, wherein the force and the distance of the pressing stamp are measured, and wherein there are the following method steps:depending on the geometry of the pressed part and on the original material during the compression for a pressing stamp a desired force-distance diagram (nominal curve) is determined and stored;in a computer during the compression the measured values for the distance and the force of the pressing stamp are compared to the nominal curve;by way of at least one separately actuated section of the pressing stamp or of a separate stamp the pressure on the pressing material during the compression phase is increased or reduced as soon as a deviation from the nominal curve is determined, in order at the end of the compression pha
