Horizontal optical comparator
The horizontal optical comparator is the most efficient and cost effective way of measuring punch tip wear.
Tablet more efficiently and with lower cost by inspecting your punches and tablets.
The horizontal optical comparator checks tablet profile and flashing, punch tip wear, surface details of engraving, embossed logos, bisects, punch head profiles, and more. Monitoring these critical dimensions for tooling wear can reduce tablet quality issues.
The comparator:
- Provides a bright, crisp image for error-free inspection of compression tooling and tablets
- Handles workloads up to 100lb (45kg)
- 10x projection lens
- Fibre illuminator included
- 120 VAC, 50/60Hz (220 VAC available)
WiGauge digital tester
You’ve inspected your punches, now what about your corresponding dies? Die wear is a commonly overlooked issue that can lead to issues such as capping, laminating, and even binding. Check your dies for wear, and track this information wirelessly with easy-to-use software.
Worn dies can cause poor-quality tablets and dramatically reduce tool life. It’s often the cause of high ejection force, excessive heat, and punch tip wear. Use the WiGauge to check for wear in your dies and die tablet segments. This easy-to-use digital test gauge collects die bore measurements and wirelessly transmits them into a spreadsheet using Bluetooth technology to eliminate cumbersome cables, improve inspection efficiency, and conduct tests in any environment.
The tester features:
- Calibrated, rugged handle for quick measurement checks in the tablet compression room
- LCD screen that shows a live reading, as well as min/max
- Class 1 Bluetooth antenna for easy data transmission up to 15 metres
