A solution that enables tool-less die table surface replacements
Tablet compression tooling manufacturer Natoli Engineering has launched the patented snap-to-fit FastLok Die Table Surface.
The solution allows quick, tool-less die table surface replacements in under two minutes, according to the company.
It adds that the the product eliminates the need for full turret replacements and significantly reduces downtime.
The FastLok system features snap-to-fit technology and is compatible with advanced coatings including Chromium Nitride (CrN), Zirconium Nitride (ZrN), and Tungsten Carbide Cobalt, extending die plate life, reducing maintenance, keeping the press clean, improving yields, and improving production efficiency.
“The FastLok Die Table Surface is a long-term solution for improving productivity and lowering cost of ownership,” said Dale Natoli, President of Natoli Engineering.
By minimising the need for off-site turret servicing, FastLok simplifies operations and allows companies to keep spare die plates on hand for easy changeovers—supporting continuous, cost-effective manufacturing.
