Absolute encoder for tablet press turret
Challenge
Incremental encoder on a 61-station tablet press required homing on every batch start, adding 12 minutes of unvalidated setup time.
Solution
Kubler 5020 absolute multi-turn encoder with GQMP traceability certificate installed on turret drive shaft; position valid on power-up.
Batch start time reduced by 12 min; homing step removed from validated procedure; encoder specification included in 21 CFR Part 11 records.
