A tablet press comprises a gate and a control apparatus configured to generate a switching signal. A drive apparatus is configured to move the gate in response to the switching signal received from the control apparatus between a first switching position and at least a second switching position. At least one sensor is configured to generate a detection signal when the gate reaches one of the switching positions. The control apparatus receives the detection signal and is configured to output a switching signal to the drive apparatus to at least partially move the gate back into a home position when there is a switching signal to move the gate out of the home position and there is no detection signal received from the at least one sensor. The control apparatus subsequently outputs a switching signal to again move the gate out of the home position to a target position.

Gate for a tablet discharge of a tablet press, and method for actuating a gate

A tablet press comprises a gate that defines a first switching position that feeds tablets into a first tablet outlet and at least a second switching position that feeds tablets into at least one second tablet outlet. The table press further comprises a control apparatus and a drive apparatus. The drive apparatus is configured to be actuated by the control apparatus to move the gate from a home position defined as one of the first switching position and the at least a second switching position into a target position defined as a switching position that is not the home position. The gate is moved from the home switching position at a speed of movement toward the target position such that the speed of movement of the gate is reduced before the target position is reached.

Gate for a tablet discharge of a tablet press and method for actuating a gate

A tablet discharge gate for a tablet press comprises a tablet channel having an inlet and an outlet and comprising one of a tube shape and a trough shape, a first outlet channel, and a second outlet channel. A gate chamber is positioned between the outlet of the tablet channel and the first and second outlet channels. A drive apparatus is configured to move the tablet discharge gate between a first position in which tablets are supplied from the tablet channel to the gate chamber and into the first outlet channel of the gate, and a second position in which tablets are supplied to the tablet discharge gate chamber and into the second outlet channel.

The invention concerns a disc-shaped retaining device for bushings of a rotary tablet press, wherein the disc-shaped retaining device comprises two disc halves that are connected with one another, each of which shows multiple holes, which align with one another if the disc halves are connected with one another and thus form mounting holes in which one respective bushing is located, wherein the bushings between the disc halves that are connected with one another are designed in a form-fit manner.

Disc-shaped retaining device for bushings of a rotary tablet press

Punch arrangement for a press, in particular a rotary press, comprising at least one press punch having a punch head, a tool region and a punch shank extending between the punch head and tool region, further comprising at least one punch guide having at least one guide bore in which the punch shank of the at least one press punch is guided in an axially movable manner and at least one variable length sealing sleeve at least partially surrounding the shank, which sealing sleeve is retained with its first end against the punch shank or against the tool region of the press punch, the sealing sleeve being retained with its second end against an inner wall of the guide bore, the second end of the sealing sleeve, with the punch shank located in the guide bore, being captured between the inner wall of the guide bore and the punch shank. The invention further relates to a press and a rotary press.

A die plate for the rotor of a rotary tablet press comprising a plurality of die holes, with dies provided therein, arranged distributed in the circumferential direction of the die plate, and between every two adjacent die holes radially running bores, in each of which a fastening device is disposed for fastening the dies, characterized in that at least one fastening device comprises two clamping elements disposed opposite each other in a radial bore, and a tensioning device, wherein the clamping elements can be tensioned against each other in the radial direction using the tensioning device, wherein the clamping elements are pressed against the dies adjacent to the radial bore.

Die plate

A compression punch for a rotary press, with a punch shaft that has a punch head at its one end and means for accommodating a separate punch insert at the other end, and with fastening means for detachably fastening the punch insert on the punch shaft, wherein the punch head and the punch shaft have an axial through bore, the axial through bore accommodates a drawbar that has a tensioning head at the end turned away from the punch head, said tensioning head having at least one connection portion, the punch insert has a recess at the end facing the punch shaft which is realized to be detachably connectable with the connection portion, and that tensioning means are arranged in the axial through bore, by which the drawbar can be tensioned in the direction of the punch head.

Punch for a rotary press

A punch for a rotary press, which has a shaft and a head, wherein the head has an upper mirror surface, a cylinder surface and a rounded transition area between the mirror surface and cylinder surface with a first and a second radius, wherein the first radius is larger than the second radius and wherein the punch head also has a preferably conical transition area from the cylinder surface to the shaft, wherein the diameter of the head is less than 25 mm and the first radius of the transition area is selected such that its height is less than half the height of the cylinder surface.

In order to improve a device for a drilling machine in such a way that manual drilling can be carried out with optimum conditions, it is proposed that the device include a workpiece jigging device, a guide device for the guidance of the machine when there is a displacement of the workpiece jigging device, and a control device for the control of the feed displacement of the workpiece jigging device and the machine. The control device has combinations of impact dampers and/or springs to achieve control over the feed displacement.

A rotor for a rotary tablet press, which has an upper and a lower punch guide for upper and lower punches that interact with holes in a die plate that is arranged between the upper and lower punch guide, where the punches are axially movable in guide holes of the punch guides and have heads that interact with compression rollers of the tablet press, wherein the press punches are guided axially in the guide holes secure against rotation, and the punch heads have on opposite sides flat areas that are facing the adjacent punch heads.

Rotor for a rotary tablet press

A rotor for a rotary tablet press, which has an upper and a lower punch guiding for upper and lower punches, which co-operate with bores of a die plate which is arranged between the upper and the lower punch guiding, wherein the punches have shafts, which are sealedly axially movable in guiding bores of the punch guidings by means of a sealing arrangement, and wherein means act between the shafts and the guiding bores which prevent a rotation of the pressing punches in the punch guidings, characterised in that the shafts have an out of round profile in the cross section, and the cross section of the guiding bores is complementary.
