1. In a batching device for a tablet making compression machine including:

  • a rotary turret (1) driven into rotation around a vertical axis, said rotary turret having a periphery;

    a series of die holes (3), spaced apart along said periphery of said turret, said series of die holes being fed with material in powder or granular form;

    a respective pair of upper and lower punches (5,6) for each said die hole (3), each said punches having counterfacing respective working heads (5a,6a) and being smoothly guided in said turret (1) so that said working heads (5a,6b) engage said die holes (3), said working heads having a mutual distance therebetween;

    driving means, connected with said punches (5,6) for adjusting said mutual distance between said working heads (5a,6a);

    said driving means including;

    a driving cam (9) for at least one of said punches (5,6) for defining said mutual distance between said working heads (5a,6a) during material batching and filling steps, said driving cam (9) being movable axially with respect to said turret (1) to adjust said mutual distance; and

    filling operation cam means (11,12) which cooperate with each other to define linking path means (15), having a variable profile, for leading said punches into engagement with said driving cam (9), said filling operation cam means (11,12) being mechanically linked to each other for changing the variable profile of said linking path means (15) in accordance with any position of said driving cam (9).
