Precision laser drilling for osmotic controlled release tablets

In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the accuracy of controlled release mechanisms within oral delivery systems is paramount. Challenges often include precise perforation alignment and maintaining productivity to meet high demand.

Drills precise holes in tablets and canisters

The Delta Laser Drilling solution from RW Hartnett is specifically designed for precision laser drilling in pharmaceutical tablets and canisters used in osmotic controlled release oral delivery systems (OROS). An adjustable hopper ensures smooth flow to the laser station, where bi-layered tablets can be detected and drilled on a specific side. The unit drills 50,000 to 60,000 pieces per hour, enhancing production efficiency. Equipped with a servo drive system for precise print registration and a user-friendly 15” touchscreen HMI, the system offers flexibility with easy, quick change tooling. Additionally, this solution features Wi-Fi connectivity for batch recording, maintaining compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, and possessing CE and UL certifications.
