Galenic Instrument Tablet Hardness Testing One Alignment Jaw to Measure it All. Adjustable movements to measure different shapes. Because no two samples are exactly alike. Tablet Hardness Tester PTB 420 is an automated, dual test mode instrument to determine the diameter, thickness and hardness of tablets. Thickness is detected by an optical system. The samples are automatically positioned by means of movable › Automated positioning of samples by unique alignment jaws alignment jaws. The behavior of the jaw’s movement is adjustable › Contactless measurement of sample thickness The instrument can be set to either linear force or linear speed › Quick start functionality to start testing with minimal preparation allows the connection of an analytical balance to measure the weight › Quick menu navigation with large color LCD and click wheel optional tablet magazine or drop the individual samples into the to accommodate many different shapes of tablets and oblongs. increase mode for the tablet hardness test. Furthermore, PTB 420 of the samples. To perform a test, either insert the samples into the unique sample positioning and testing station. A class 1 laser beam is used for the contactless measurement of the sample
