An electronic device for detecting the weight of a capsule for a pharmaceutical product is provided with: a plurality of detection electrodes, which face a respective one of a plurality of sectors into which the capsule is divided in a main extension direction thereof, each one of the detection electrodes forming a respective detection capacitor with a common plate defined by a capsule-holding element which holds the capsule; and an electronic circuit having a plurality of detection stages, each operatively coupled to a respective one of the detection electrodes so as to detect, in an independent and exclusive manner, a capacitive variation of the respective detection capacitor and to generate a respective output quantity, which is a function of the capacitive variation and indicative of the weight of the respective sector of the capsule.

Electronic device for detecting the weight of capsules for pharmaceutical products

A machine () for filling capsules (CS) or similar. The machine () has a number of seat assemblies (), each of which incorporates a capacitive transducer () and possibly other devices, such as an energy storage device () and a microprocessor (), in addition to devices for external connection for power supply and/or communication.
