Abstract

The invention relates to a transfer press for successive forming and demoulding of work pieces by means of upper and lower tools in dies, wherein the upper tools are attached to a ram head, while the lower tools are installed on a ram foot. The ram head and the ram base are rigidly connected to each other and form a ram.

Abstract

The invention relates to a transfer press for successively forming and demolding workpieces using upper and lower tools (1, 3) in dies (31), wherein the upper tools (1) are fastened to a ram head (5) whereas the lower tools (3) are mounted on a ram base (7). The ram head (5) and the ram base (7) are rigidly connected to each other and form a ram.

Abstract

The invention relates to ammunition assembly apparatus and in particular to an apparatus for the automated and progressive assembly of cartridges for firearms such as rifles, guns, revolvers and pistols. The apparatus comprises a conveyor subsystem to transport ammunition past the working stations, wherein the working stations and the conveyor subsystem are mounted to a mounting plane such that the conveyor subsystem extends linearly at least sectionwise through the ammunition assembly apparatus and the working stations are arranged rectilinearly along the assembly direction.

Abstract

The invention relates to an automated progressive ammunition, in particular cartridge, assembly apparatus (1) and method. The automated progressive ammunition assembly apparatus (1) according to the invention comprises a conveyor subsystem (4) and at least one assembly station (5). The at least one assembly station (5) comprises an actuator subsystem (8), a measurement subsystem (12) and a control subsystem (13). The conveyor subsystem (4) is adapted to transport the ammunition (2, 3) past the at least one assembly station (5) in an assembly direction (6) preferably along a rectilinear path. The actuator subsystem (8) is adapted to move a component (9), such as a powder or propellant (10) or a projectile (11), thereby adding the component to the ammunition. The component thus changes at least one physical parameter (P) of the ammunition. The measurement subsystem (12) is adapted to measure the at least one physical parameter and output a measurement signal (15), representative of the at least one physical parameter. In order to be able to meet very tight product specifications, and at the same time allow a quick change between the manufacture of different types of ammunition using the same apparatus (1), the subsystem (21) is adapted to control the actuator subsystem (8) depending on the measurement signal. The at least one assembly station (5) may, in particular, be a powder filling station (18) or a projectile insertion station (27) where powder (10) or a projectile (11) is added to the ammunition.
