Compression / Punch & Die Tooling
It doesn't matter if you call it punch and die tooling, compression tools or tablet tooling, the final product is still the same... it is tooling that will produce a tablet that is very important to your business. From pharmaceutical to industrial applications, every year new customers continue to come to the Elizabeth Companies for one primary reason: to benefit from the advantages the leader in the tablet compression tooling industry can offer.
For over 53 years our formula for success has started with the use of the highest quality tool steel, carbide and ceramic from the world's finest suppliers. . . then incorporates skilled tool and tablet design engineering, the very latest in computerized machine tools, expert craftsmanship and a level of quality control that is unprecedented in the industry.
Pharmaceutical Tooling
Our experience through the years (with applications from pharmaceutical to industrial) has shown us that quality tablet compression tooling can't
be produced without the use of quality raw materials, manufactured
to strict specifications. For example, we exclusively use
electric furnace-produced steel, vacuum-melted in 100,000-pound heat
to aero-space
tolerances for uniformity and cleanliness. All pharmaceutical tooling
is formed from high-nickel, high-chrome shock steel that must meet
Elizabeth's strict requirements before we will ever consider it.
Keeping abreast of today's latest equipment, techniques and processes is
no easy task. Not only do we invest continuously in new technology; employees
are constantly undergoing training and honing of their skills. We take
genuine pride in the work we do and the equipment we use. Matching the
finest machinists with the finest machinery makes for an unbeatable combination.
And the Production R&D Department redesigns and modifies machinery
to further improve and speed production.
To complete the loop, The Elizabeth Companies depends upon its meticulous in-process and final inspections to confirm the quality of our compression tooling. Inspectors utilize the latest in QC technology and processes including laser measuring equipment accurate to +/-.00001" and electronic height, OD and concentricity gauges. Conventional equipment such as micrometers, pin gauges, optical comparators, section microscopes and contour trackers are also to be found in the QC arsenal. Ultimately, all compression tooling shipped will meet or exceed the customers' specifications as well as our own very stringent standards.

Industrial Tooling
Along with tooling for powder metal or ceramic components, we also provide compression tooling to a wide range of diverse companies. From batteries and catalysts, to sanitizers and nuclear fuels, industry leaders choose Elizabeth Carbide Die when there is no substitute for quality. Read more about industrial tooling »
Elizatab™
ELIZATAB™ tablets were developed to enable the customer to hold in their hands amazingly realistic prototypes of the new tablet products. The prototype tablets are constructed from a proprietary space age material before punches and dies are manufactured. This simulated product allows shape, color, size and lettering (including logos) to be previewed quickly and inexpensively.

Easy, Efficient, Economical
Most recently, Elizabeth Carbide introduced Triple-E tooling-"Easy, Efficient, Economical"-which is so precise that it is totally interchangeable, making setup and changeover faster, easier and virtually error-proof. During setup, a single tool called a custom alignment gauge is used to set all of the dies in the die table quickly and squarely. This procedure results in a perfect fit between the die and the upper punch so that all upper punches can be randomly installed. Numbering of tool stations is no longer necessary.
The amount of time saved with Triple-E depends upon the size of the press and the proficiency of setup personnel, but a time savings of fifty percent can be expected. Punches last longer, too, because they are used only for tableting, not for setting dies. Triple-E tooling is available in all standard and special shapes and can be used with any rotary tableting press.
