Rotating Head Tooling

Improved wear resistance using 'Rotahead' From I Holland Ltd.
All shaped and multi-tipped upper punches are keyed to prevent the punch from rotating, so that the tip is permanently aligned with the die - however, this often causes localised headwear at the position where the head contacts the cam track.

Rotahead is a unique concept that delivers a solution to this problem, with added benefits to the tablet producer;

Improve wear resistance by allowing the head to rotate independently to the punch body and can also be manufactured from a harder material.

Cleaner, smoother operation because punches only require one key position.

Faster and quieter operation as there are less resisting forces enabling the press to be operated at faster speeds.

The Rotahead concept can be applied to most standard punch types and on both upper and lower punches.
