Abstract
An instrumented tableting machine yields some of the most significant information about the compressional and ejectional forces involved in the tableting operation. A number of versions of instrumented tablet presses are commercially available but tend to be very expensive to be used widely in academic institutions. The present project involving the instrumentation of a single punch tableting machine (Manesty, Model F3) was undertaken to propose a low cost alternative to researchers in the area of product development. This paper deals with the measurement of the compression force using strain gauges mounted in two different configurations: upper punch and lower pin. Good linearity between applied force and measured strain was observed.
