The manufacturing of pharmaceutical tablets is carried out using machines that appear, at first sight, to be very simple. First, a die is filled with the correct amount of powder. Next, two opposing punches compress the powder to form the tablet. Finally, the tablet is ejected from the top of the die. In a typical manufacturing machine, rotating mechanical cams control the movement of the punches.
