Tablet Dies and Tooling

The manufacturing of tablet dies is another area where General Carbide|UK excels ... the manufacturing machinery, measuring equipment and expertise employed in this arena are world class.

Investing in robotic technology (one of the very first, if not the first, in the country) puts us in the forefront of tablet die manufacture for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, confectionery and other industries that produce 'tablets'.

A Fanuc robot can feed our EDM wire machine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with absolute precision, accuracy and consistency, which means that every single piece is perfect ... robots don't get tired or distracted so there is no possibility of error. This set up is perfect for high volume work in particular and makes General Carbide|UK incredibly competitive against manual labour.

And that's not the end of the story, once the dies have been machined they are measured using a 5 axis co-ordinate measurement machine, which produces you a report with all the various measurements and tolerances and emails it directly to you if you wish ... and of course, each separate die is easily identifiable as it will be laser etched with order number, batch number and individually numbered for traceability. Letters or conformity and material certification are also available ... all at no additional cost to you!

So if you want perfect tablet dies, with full traceability and back up reporting, contact us now and we'll be happy to talk with you about your products.
