Ram travel at a pill press

For the examination of cohesion in pharmaceutical mixtures under the influence of pressure non-contacting eddy-current sensors , which measure the travel of the upper in the area of the bottom dead center of the upper piston are used. The measurements are not affected through process-related formation of dust. In the movement range for pill pressing a force-travel-characteristic can be measured and evaluated by the additional use of strain-gages.
