Abstract
A method and apparatus for driving slide racks of a tablet automatic packing machine are disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of slide racks appeared as doors are opened inside of a main body and a plurality of tablet cassettes installed in the doors and the plurality of slide racks. The apparatus is operated such that, when tablets are exhausted in tablet cassettes installed in the slide rack, the slide rack is automatically withdrawn by operations of a remote control device. The method and apparatus can prevent unnecessary operations of a motor such that, when tablets are exhausted in a tablet cassette, only a sector including the empty tablet cassette can be withdrawn under control of the control unit, in which the sector is one of a plurality of sectors included in one of a plurality of slide racks, thereby easily confirming a corresponding tablet cassette.
