Tablet Press Model Analysis in Automated Production Equipment

Abstract

Tablets are one of the indispensable pharmaceutical forms in healthcare, and it has been developed based on powders and pills with a long history of application. Its commonly used production equipment is a tablet press, which directly presses pharmaceutical powder granules into tablets. This paper uses the traditional tablet press as a model to introduce the six-bar mechanism, reducer, and motor part. Based on real data, the rush return characteristics, pressurization and holding characteristics of the six-bar mechanism are analyzed. Finally, the shortcomings of traditional tablet presses are proposed, and improvement methods are given. Through the mechanism analysis of the tablet press in this paper, people can clearly understand the working principle of the tablet press. The model construction and motion analysis in this paper help to analyze the motion characteristics of the mechanism. This paper provides a theoretical basis for the construction of tablet presses.
