High-Speed Laser Processing Machines for the Pharmaceutical Industry

Additionally, dual vision camera systems verify each tablet before exiting the system, resulting in 200% inspection. CMS Laser has been an industry leader in pharmaceutical drilling and marking systems for over 30 years, providing research and development, batch submittal, and full production solutions to pharmaceutical companies around the world. CMS Laser provides full support for IQ, OQ, and PQ documentation in a complete, turnkey tablet processing solution.

High speed laser drilling of pharmaceutical tablets with dual machine vision

CMS Laser’s tablet drilling systems are capable of drilling osmotic pump tablets at speeds up to 70,000 per hour with single or multi-hole drilling. Process round and oval tablets with orifice sizes ranging from 0.3mm to 2mm with an option to apply an anti-counterfeit marking. Longitudinally compressed tablets (LCTs) can be processed at slower speeds with a different transport track.

System Features

Processing speeds up to 70,000 tablets per hour for
bi-layer, bi-color tablets.

  • True, closed-loop feedback, on-the-fly tracking of the tablets which results in better orifice quality with a large range of orifice sizes.
  • Standard orifice sizes range from 0.2mm – 2mm. Small and large orifice sizes are programmable and multiple holes per side of tablet is available upon request.
  • The laser selected provides superior orifice and repeatable release profile of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
  • Integrated oscilloscope and remote-diagnostics
  • Integrated ionizers for ESD control
High speed laser drilling of pharmaceutical tablets with machine vision

Dual Machine Vision Inspection

Due to the presentation of the tablet and our design of the system, the surface of the tablet is visible with the integrated dual vision systems leading to 200% inspection.

  • Tablets that fail vision inspection are blown off the conveyor into separate reject bins.

Tablet Transport System

Our superior bowl feeder and transport systems design results in smoother transitions, reduced tablet breakage and increased yield.

  • A large range of tablet sizes can run on a single system with a minimal change in parts—typically less than 30 minutes.
