A pneumatically operated apparatus is described which simulates the forces generated by and the component movements encountered in a Macofar 13/2 dosator type capsule filling machine. Force transducers are fitted to the dosing piston and dosator tip, and the movement of the dosator piston and the powder bed followed by displacement transducers. Calibration of the transducers is described. The output from the transducers is collated, stored and manipulated by microcomputer. The manufacturing parameters which can be studied using this apparatus are discussed.
本文描述了一种气动装置，该装置可模拟Macofar 13/2型胶囊灌装机产生的力以及所遇到的部件运动。力传感器安装在定量活塞和定量器尖端，定量器活塞和粉床的运动由位移传感器跟踪。文中介绍了传感器的校准方法。传感器的输出由微型计算机进行整理、存储和处理。讨论了使用该装置可研究的制造参数。
