High-speed tablet laser drilling system
Achieve precise, high-speed drilling of solid dosage forms with a system capable of processing over 300,000 tablets per hour—enhancing your production efficiency and product consistency.
The IBM Laser Drilling Machine from RW Hartnett Company is a high-speed solution specifically designed for precision drilling in pharmaceutical tablet production. This flatbed machine efficiently processes over 300,000 pieces per hour, utilizing a single-sided laser to ensure accuracy in drilling various solid tablets, such as aspirin, multivitamins, and other supplements. Equipped with an adjustable hopper and servo drive system, it optimizes the fill rate and precise print registration, integrating seamlessly within processing and final conditioning departments. The machine supports automated operations through a 15” swingarm touchscreen HMI and Wi-Fi connectivity, with batch recording capabilities that meet 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Available options include a vision inspection system for real-time quality control and validation documents. Constructed to CE and UL standards, it operates on 240 VAC/30 amp/3 phase electrical and 90 psi air supply, ensuring reliable performance in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and healthcare manufacturing environments.
