"'Tablet and Capsule Machine Instrumentation' is a practical guide to the techniques and applications of instrumentation used in the tabletting or capsule filling process. A combination of a sound formulation with a proper control of the tabletting or capsule filling process is necessary to produce a satisfactory tablet or capsule. These considerations require accurate measurements. The text provides a sound understanding of the principles and techniques involved, and of how data generated by instrumented machines can be applied to problems in pharmaceutical research, development and manufacture. Topics covered include: the measurement of force; the installation of strain gauges; the measurement of displacement; power supplies and data acquisition; instrumented tablet presses; calibration of transducer systems; data handling; applications of tablet press instrumentation; the instrumentation of capsule filling machinery; and automatic control of tablet presses in a production environment." -- Publisher's website.
