Gary Bubb is Vice President and the Director of Engineering of Specialty Measurements
Gary Bubb is Vice President and the Director of Engineering of Specialty Measurements in Whitehouse N.J. Gary graduated with an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Northeastern University in 1966. His work experience started as an engineer with the Department of Defense where he was assigned the task of standardizing the measurement systems at the various Army Proving Grounds in order to better correlate the data. While in that position Gary pursued a Graduate program in Measurements Engineering and Mechanical Vibrations during which he attended a variety of schools including Stevens, Arizona State, Trenton State, Tuffs, and UCLA. In 1982 Gary was one of the co-founders of SMI, Specialty Measurements Inc., with a focus on developing specialized transducers and instrumentation systems for Industry. SMI grew to become the largest independent testing laboratories on the East Coast, with major projects including all of the East and Hudson River Bridges in New York and the Delaware River Bridges in Philadelphia. In 1984 SMI developed the first PC based system for instrumented tablet presses that was the precursor for the SMI 3600, a computer-based data acquisition system designed and manufactured by SMI. Ultimately, the SMI 3620 and evolved into the SMI 3620, 3630, and 3640 using Motorola processors and a unique operating system called OS-9. When the IBM series of computers proved to be powerful enough, SMI introduced a PC based system called the PC-30 with a DOS operating system. The current product is called “The Director”, a Windows 95 or higher based system. In 1998, SMI introduced the Piccola, the first table top rotary tablet press, into the US market. To date over 250 of these machines have been made and are sold throughout Europe, North and South America, and Asia. Today SMI specializes in solid dosage machines with a complete line of tablet presses, high shear granulators, roller compactors, cone mills, and the latest addition, a fluid bed granulator. All of these products serve the needs of pre-formulation through R&D, pilot plant and production. These products reflect engineering and instrumentation excellence drawn from Gary’s background and education.
