Tablet Hardness Tester TBH II Key Features
- Comprehensive 5-Parameter Testing
- TestAssist With Test Management
- Interchangeable Magnetic Inserts
Easily measure the physical properties – hardness (up to 500 N), thickness, width (for oblongs), diameter (for round tablets) or length (for oblongs), and weight (with optional connected balance) – in one compact device. The TBH II provides accurate, repeatable results for all tablet shapes and ensures full compliance with international pharmacopoeia standards.
TestAssist guides you step by step through the testing process, reducing raining time and minimizing user error. Create, save, and recall test methods and products – tailored to your lab’s needs.

Qualification Menu
Guides users step by step through calibration, adjustment, and weight check directly on the touchscreen, ensuring thorough and systematic qualification. Benefit from fast, electronic calibration with AutoCal 2.0.
TestAssist
Step-by-step, on-screen guidance for every test—choose between quick Direct Measurement for immediate test runs or comprehensive General Data Measurement using methods and products, previously created in the Test Management menu.
Qualification Easy Step-by-Step Approach
The TBH II’s qualification menu guides users through all essential qualification tasks – including calibration, adjustment, and weight check – directly on the touchscreen. Each step is presented clearly, allowing users to define calibration points and systematically calibrate every relevant parameter. The certified AutoCal 2.0 system offers convenient, electronic calibration—no measurement weights required; simply connect AutoCal 2.0 to the TBH II’s USB port and perform adjustment or calibration directly via the intuitive touch display. After completing any qualification procedure, a comprehensive summary provides a clear overview of the results and actions taken. This summary can be easily printed or exported for documentation and record keeping.
Smart Collection Container With Automatic Test Continuation
The transparent smart collection container fully encloses the breaking station, containing all tablet fragments and particles for a clean workspace. Its lid sensor detects when the lid is closed and automatically continues the test. Simply set pauses, if you need more time between the test steps.
Intelligent Balance Connection With Automatic Data Transfer
The TBH II integrates with external balances for precise tablet weighing. Once the balance is connected, each tablet’s weight is automatically captured and transferred to the device, ensuring accurate results and eliminating manual entry.
Seamless Export Options With ERWEKA Export Manager
The TBH II works with ERWEKA Export Manager software for fast, straightforward export of test reports to your lab network as PDF or XML files. Users can define storage locations, and each file is clearly named for easy management and compliance. The software streamlines workflows and integrates multiple supported devices for Export Manager into your digital environment.
