Who it's for

  • Tablet press engineers and manufacturing teams
  • Production supervisors and maintenance personnel
  • Quality and process improvement teams
  • Facilities operating high-speed or high-volume tablet presses

What it does

Segmented turret systems replace conventional die tables and individual dies with a smaller number of precisely machined segments that assemble directly into the tablet press turret. Each segment is engineered to lock into position with controlled concentricity and planar alignment, ensuring consistent punch positioning across all stations.

By reducing the number of individual tooling components, segmented turrets streamline installation, cleaning, and changeovers. The design also enables higher station density than traditional die table configurations, allowing manufacturers to increase throughput while maintaining tablet quality and press stability.

Natoli segmented turret systems are manufactured using advanced CNC machining and precision fixturing to achieve uniform surface flatness and alignment, supporting reliable performance even in demanding, high-speed production environments.

Why Segmented Turrets Matter

Traditional die tables require multiple dies, die locks, and manual alignment steps that increase setup time and variability. Segmented turret systems simplify these processes by consolidating tooling into precision-aligned segments, allowing manufacturers to improve efficiency while maintaining consistent tablet quality.

As production demands increase, segmented turrets provide a scalable solution that supports higher output, reduced downtime, and more predictable manufacturing performance.
