Tablet feed rate is too high and there are too many doubles or *piggy backed* tablets going through the count head.

Sto traducendo il manuale di una macchina conta compresse, sezione troubleshooting. Si stanno analizzando le possibili cause di sovraconteggio.

"La velocità di scorrimento delle compresse è troppo elevata e ci sono troppi doppi (= due pastiglie che passano contemporaneamente) o compresse ..............che attraversano la testa di conto."

Notes to answerer
Asker: Ringrazio gli intervenuti, alla fine mi sono fatta spiegare da un madrelingua e abbiamo convenuto che si riferisce a due compresse che passano "di fila" davanti al sensore, il quale, non "vedendo" il suo fascio luminoso interrotto, le conta come una sola.
