Patent ID: 7797076

Claim:
A control unit for a powder material compression molding machine including a powder material compressor that compresses a powder material filled between compressing members in an adjusted filled amount by making the compressing members approach to each other at a predetermined interval, to mold a molded product, and a pressure detector that detects a powder material compressing pressure by the powder material compressor, in connection to the powder material compression molding machine, the control unit comprising: a weight determiner that determines that a weight of filled powder material is normal if a weight of a tablet which is molded by the powder material compression molding machine falls within a non-control range of a quantity; a thickness determiner that determines that a thickness of the molded product is abnormal if the pressure detected by the pressure detector falls out of a first predetermined range and the weight determiner determines that the weight of filled powder material is normal; and a compression controller that controls the powder material compressor if the thickness determiner determines that the thickness of the molded products is abnormal.
