Tablet Tooling Management and Inspection Solutions for Punches and Dies

Natoli’s tablet tooling management software and inspection solutions support the complete punch and die lifecycle—from non-contact dimensional inspection to tooling tracking, maintenance, and compliance documentation. Each solution is purpose-built for a specific function while delivering added value when used together.

Tooling Management Software (TM-II)

TM-II Tool Management Software is tablet tooling management software designed to track punches and dies throughout their entire lifecycle. It centralizes tooling inventory, usage history, inspection records, and maintenance activity in a single system.

Used for:

  • Tablet tooling inventory managment

  • Punch and die lifecycle tracking

  • Maintenance and inspection documentation

  • Tooling data for quality and compliance

TM-II helps tooling and maintenance teams reduce tooling-related defects, improve accountability, and extend punch and die life.

Non-Contact Tooling Inspection Device (LVS)

The Natoli Laser Vision System (LVS) is a tablet tooling inspection device that uses non-contact laser vision technology to measure and inspect punches with high precision.

Used for:

  • Non-contact punch inspection

  • High-precision dimensional measurement

  • Repeatable inspection workflows

  • Early detection of tooling wear

LVS enables early detection of tooling wear, damage, and dimensional drift before tablet quality is affected.

Better Together: Integrated Tooling Inspection and Management

When used together, TM-II and LVS form an integrated tooling inspection and management system.

  • LVS captures precise, non-contact inspection and measurement data.
  • TM-II stores, organizes, and tracks that data across the tooling lifecycle.

This integration allows tooling teams to:

  • Associate inspection results directly with individual punches
  • Monitor tooling condition trends over time
  • Make data-driven maintenance and replacement decisions
  • Improve audit readiness and compliance documentation

Each system operates independently. Integration provides a more complete view of tooling condition and history without compromising system clarity.
