Our Laser Drilling Technology
High-speed drilling for pharmaceutical tablets
On-the-Fly Laser Processing
Our high-speed tablet transport system allows us to achieve up to 140,000 tablets per hour with true closed-loop feedback tracking of each tablet.
Laser Drilling Tablets
Our systems can be configured for drilling and marking oval, round, and longitudinally compressed tablets (LCTs). Drill multiple holes and/or mark tablets with speed and precision.
200% Vision Inspection
Drilled holes are checked with dual camera systems before exiting the system. Failed tablets are blown off the conveyor into separate bins away from the successful product.
Superior Tablet Transport
Our tablet handling environment ensures smooth tablet transitions—reducing breakage and increasing yield. Dual or single bowl feeder designs and new LCT conveyor designs.
