# Industrial Specification: Pharmaceutical Tablet Press Punch Tip

## 1. Technical Definition
Wear-resistant tip for pharmaceutical tablet compression punches

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **50-150 kN compression force, 0.1-1.0 mm/s punch penetration rate**. Failure boundary: **Surface hardness drops below 58 HRC or wear exceeds 0.05 mm depth**, Mechanism: **Adhesive wear and abrasive wear due to repeated contact with powder formulation at 100-400 MPa contact pressure, following Archard's wear law: V = K × (F × L) / H, where K=3×10⁻⁵ for pharmaceutical powder contact**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Powder formulation containing &gt;2% abrasive excipients (e.g., silica, talc) | 8 | Progressive tip radius increase from 0.8 mm to &gt;1.2 mm | Diamond-like carbon coating (3-5 μm thickness) with hardness &gt;70 GPa |
| Misalignment exceeding 0.02 mm between upper and lower punch tips | 8 | Asymmetric wear pattern causing tablet weight variation &gt;±2% | Laser-guided alignment system with 0.005 mm precision and real-time force monitoring |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |

- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What are the benefits of tungsten carbide coating on pharmaceutical punch tips?
**A**: Tungsten carbide coating provides exceptional wear resistance, extending tool life, maintaining compression accuracy, and reducing contamination risks in pharmaceutical tablet production.

### Q: How do I select the correct tip profile for my tablet press?
**A**: Select the tip profile based on your tablet shape requirements (e.g., flat, concave, beveled) and consult your press manufacturer's specifications to ensure compatibility with your compression system.

### Q: What maintenance is required for pharmaceutical punch tips?
**A**: Regular inspection for wear, cleaning with appropriate solvents, and proper storage in controlled environments are essential. Replace tips when surface hardness degrades or compression quality diminishes.
