A method and a sensor device were developed to detect dynamic laser speckle pattern for monitoring of deformation of pharmaceutical tablets after compression. Temporal variations in optical signal revealed local surface deformation of the ibuprofen and the starch acetate tablets as well as anisotropy of tablet surfaces at the inspection location.
Optical inspection techniques for estimation of surface roughness and surface quality of flat punches, which are used in the pharmaceutical industry for tablet compression, were studied. It was observed that a simple specular reflection technique is useful for surface roughness assessment of flat punches. A diffractive element based sensor was used for the surface quality detection, such as mirror property or flatness, with the aid of image information of a test pattern. It was observed that a new punch may have a poorer surface quality than a used one.
Optical surface quality of concave shaped punches was investigated with a diffractive optical element based sensor. Image information of the present sensor was studied for the purpose of surface roughness and reflectance inspection. The robust sensor is proposed for off-line optical inspection of concave punches.
