PRESET TORQUE WRENCHES
Improperly torqued dies can crack, split or “pop-up” resulting in damage to the feed frame and tooling.
This can potentially create thousands of dollars worth of repair costs, unsafe working conditions,
unwanted downtime and a significant reduction in product output. Using preset torque wrenches will
ensure dies are torqued to the exact specifications listed in the tablet press manual.

INFRARED LASER THERMOMETERS: One of the most critical tools for a compression room
A non-contact infrared laser thermometer is critical for quickly obtaining the temperature of punches and
tablets. Use it to determine the temperature zone where tablets may start to film and/or stick to the punch
face. This type of thermometer is highly recommended for troubleshooting and discovering the heat limits of
sensitive products. It also accurately monitors tablet press cam and roller temperatures.
Handheld, non-contact laser thermometers are compact, rugged and easy to use. Simply aim, pull the
trigger, and in less than one second temperature is displayed in ˚F or ˚C. Recorded data can be stored in a
log for future reference. 2 AAA batteries included.

Compression
The Stokes tablet hardness tester provides a relative indication of density that can be used to maintain
press adjustment during production runs. Using the data from this device assures the press operator that
the bulk of the tablet produced will be acceptable and yield loss will be kept to a minimum.
The Stokes tablet hardness tester is rugged and will provide good results for a long time. To get
maximum life and best results, never leave the spring of the hardness tester under compression, clean
the crushing surface between each test, and lubricate the threads and end of the screw spindle regularly.

Punch & Die Terminology
www.natoli.com 163
Index
Tooling Terminology
Anneal: A heat-treating process used on fragile punch tips to decrease the hardness of the punch cups,
reducing punch tip fracturing
Bakelite Tip Relief: An undercut groove between the lower punch tip straight and the relief; it assures a
sharp corner to assist in scraping product adhering to the die wall; normally a purchased option for lower
punches
Barrel or Shank: The vertical bearing surface of a punch which makes contact with the punch guides in the
machine turret for vertical guidance
Barrel Chamfer: Chamfers at the ends of the punch barrel; eliminates outside corners
Barrel Flutes: Vertical slots machined into the punch barrel to reduce the bearing surface and assist in
removing product in the punch guides; a purchased option for upper and lower punches
Barrel-to-Stem Radius: The radius that blends the punch barrel to the stem
Die: A component used in conjunction with the upper and lower punches; it accepts the product for
compaction and is responsible for the tablet’s perimeter size and configuration
Die Bore: The cavity of a die that accepts the product for compaction and determines the tablets size and
shape configuration
Die Chamfer: The angled area between the top of the die and the die bore; it assists in guiding the upper
punch into the die bore
Die Groove: The radial groove around the die O.D. which accepts the die lock to secure the die in position
in the die table
Die Height or Overall Length: The entire height or overall length of a die
Die Lock: The mechanism used to lock a die in position after it is installed in the die table
Die Outside Diameter: The largest diameter of a die, commonly referred to as the die O.D.
Die Taper: A gradual increase in dimension, starting from a given depth in the die bore and increasing to the
die chamfer; used normally to release air from the die cavity during the compression cycle
Head: The largest diameter of a common punch; it contacts the machines cams and accepts pressure from
the pressure rollers
Head Back Angle: Sometimes referred to as the inside head angle, located underneath the top head angle
or the top head radius; it contacts the machine camming for vertical movement of the punch within the punch
guides
Head Flat: The flat portion of the head, which makes contact with the pressure rollers and determines the
maximum dwell time for compression

Tooling Terminology
Key: A projection, normally of mild steel, which protrudes above the surface of the punch barrel; it maintains
alignment of the upper punch for reentry into the die; mandatory on upper punches with multiple tips and all
tablet shapes other than round; commonly used with embossed round tablet shapes when rotation of punch
causes a condition known as a double impression
Key Position: The radial and height position of a key on the punch barrel; not found in all presses
Land: The area between the edge of the punch cup and the outside diameter of the punch tip; this ads
strength to the tip to reduce punch tip fracturing
Neck: Located below the head; it provides clearance as the punch cycles through the machine cams
Punch Overall Length: The total length of a punch, other than flat-face tablet configurations, that is normally
a reference dimension which consists of a combination of the working length and the cup depth dimensions
Stem: The area from the barrel to the edge of the punch tip
Tip Face or Cup: The portion of the punch tip that determines the contour of the tablet face; it includes the
tablet embossing
Tip Relief: The portion of the punch stem which is undercut or made smaller than the punch tip straight; most
common for lower punches to aid in reducing friction from the punch tip and die wall as the punch travels
through the compression cycle; the area where the punch tip and relief meet must be sharp to scrape product
from the die wall as the lower punch travels down for the fill cycle
Tip Straight: The section of the tip that extends from the tip relief to the end of the punch tip; it maintains the
punch tip size tolerance
Tooling Set: A complete set of punches and dies which accommodates all stations in a tablet press
Tooling Station: The upper punch, lower punch, and die, which accommodate one station in a tablet press
Top Head Angle: Angle from the outside head diameter to the top head radius; it allows for sufficient head
thickness and smoother camming
Top Head Radius: The radius on the top of the head, which blends the top head angle to the head flat. Some
head configurations may consist of only the head radius without the head angle. This radius makes the initial
contact with the pressure roll and allows a smoother transition into the compression cycle
Working Length: The dimension from the head flat to the lowest measurable point of the tip face, responsible
for the consistency of the tablet overall thickness
