Built for tablet manufacturers, Natoli’s newly designed LVS effectively improves tool inspections to make it the most powerful and comprehensive tool control and punch inspection system available.
Ensure accurate inspections and reduce cycle time
The redesigned LVS device ensures accurate inspections through modern dual laser technology. This new technology performs precise non-contact tool inspections minimising moving parts during cycle time. With fewer moving parts, real–time measurements are collected and recorded instantly into the TM-II database. These real–time measurements significantly reduce cycle time, speeding up the inspection process.
Enhanced visual inspections
Magnified tool views provide in-depth visual inspections for greater troubleshooting capability. Capture snapshots of magnified tool images to file for inclusion with inspection records and link to email correspondence.
Improve tablet consistency
Comprehensive tool inspections result in higher quality tooling which improve tablet quality. Utilising the tool matching reports to match upper and lower tool punches will provide for optimum tablet thickness and consistency.
Decrease downtime and maintenance cost
The LVS device’s unique “no-nonsense” real–time measurements inspections allow tablet manufactures to prevent tablet press downtime and reduce time consuming and costly inspection procedures. In addition, all–electric operation decreases maintenance costs and requirements for supporting other systems.
Improve inventory tracking and FDA record keeping
Track the current status or history of tooling inventory to indicate when it is time to polish, inspect and discard tooling. Quickly access details and reports on tool usage history, machine press used, lot number, date, quantity, comments, and more. All reports are prepared to meet FDA requirements.
Accommodate multi–tip and standard 'B' and 'D' punches
Flexible tool nests are available for standard 'B', 'D', and multi-tip type tools. Accommodate multi–tip punch inspections by tracking the critical dimensions of each tip on the punch.
Natoli’s TM-II tablet compression tooling management software is the most efficient software available to manage your entire tool database. Designed to help tablet manufacturers improve product quality and consistency, TM-II organises critical punch inspection dimensions through a user-friendly, comprehensive tooling database.
The TM-II software allows users to track and access a multitude of comprehensive reports on tooling information related to inspections, measurements, purchase orders, drawings, steel type, machine type and more. The ability to track tool usage results in the use of higher quality tools and helps prevent the use of bad tools that cause tablet press breakdowns.
TM-II also accommodates multiple-tip punches by tracking the critical dimensions of up to 26 tips (A-Z) on each punch. Users can then run analysis reports based on the average of tip working lengths. TM-II can also save you time by updating an entire set of tools at once, organise tool sets according to the products/tablets they produce, and quickly access details and reports on tool usage history, machine press used, lot number, date, quantity, comments and much more. All reports are prepared to meet FDA requirements and are CFR Part 11 compliant.
Reduce labour costs, minimise press downtime, and avoid costly surprises by relying on the most powerful tool control software available.
