Tablet Compression Tooling (Punches and Dies)

Superior quality tablet tools (punch and die) for excellent performance and long tooling life!

It doesn't matter if you call it punch and die tooling, compression tools or tablet tooling, the final product is still the same... it is tooling that will produce a tablet that is very important to your business. From pharmaceutical to industrial applications, every year new customers continue to come to the Elizabeth Companies for one primary reason: to benefit from the advantages the leader in the tablet compression tooling industry can offer.

For over 53 years our formula for success has started with the use of the highest quality tool steel, carbide and ceramic from the world's finest suppliers. . . then incorporates skilled tool and tablet design engineering, the very latest in computerized machine tools, expert craftsmanship and a level of quality control that is unprecedented in the industry.

Pharmaceutical Tooling
Our experience through the years (with applications from pharmaceutical to industrial) has shown us that quality tablet compression tooling can't be produced without the use of quality raw materials, manufactured to strict specifications. For example, we exclusively use electric furnace-produced steel, vacuum-melted in 100,000-pound heat to aero-space tolerances for uniformity and cleanliness. All pharmaceutical tooling is formed from high-nickel, high-chrome shock steel that must meet Elizabeth's strict requirements before we will ever consider it.

Keeping abreast of today's latest equipment, techniques and processes is no easy task. Not only do we invest continuously in new technology; employees are constantly undergoing training and honing of their skills. We take genuine pride in the work we do and the equipment we use. Matching the finest machinists with the finest machinery makes for an unbeatable combination. And the Production R&D Department redesigns and modifies machinery to further improve and speed production.

To complete the loop, The Elizabeth Companies depends upon its meticulous in-process and final inspections to confirm the quality of our compression tooling. Inspectors utilize the latest in QC technology and processes including laser measuring equipment accurate to /-.00001" and electronic height, OD and concentricity gauges. Conventional equipment such as micrometers, pin gauges, optical comparators, section microscopes and contour trackers are also to be found in the QC arsenal. Ultimately, all compression tooling shipped will meet or exceed the customers' specifications as well as our own very stringent standards.
