Ensuring the highest quality standards in the ammunition industry is crucial to guaranteeing safety and performance. At Mectron, our advanced inspection systems provide comprehensive 360° ammo inspection capabilities that significantly enhance ammunition safety and quality.
Automated Inspection Capabilities
Mectron’s Ammunition Inspection division boasts automated capabilities for top-of-the-line visual and dimensional inspection of ammunition, bullets, and casings. Eight lasers are utilized for 360° ammo dimensional inspection, and the Surface Qualifier captures over 1500 per second for 360° ammo surface inspection. Mectron’s inspection systems are designed to meet or exceed military specifications.
High-Speed Inspection Equipment
Mectron Inspection Systems has become an integral part of providing manufacturers the means to consistently deliver and satisfy customers with 100% inspected and certified parts. Our high-speed inspection equipment utilizes multiple methods designed for the most critical details of any ammunition application.
The Qualifier (Q-5000) employs Mectron’s patented lasers for high-speed gauging and inspection for an unlimited variety of ammunition in a wide range of materials. This cutting-edge technology provides 360° inspection of each piece, displays its dimensions on the computer touch screen, and automatically inspects the part features and measurements.
Innovative Camera-Based System
In addition to laser technology, Mectron introduces the new patent-pending Surface Qualifier 7500 (SQ-7500), a camera-based system that uses statistical learning to inspect cylindrical parts. The parts traverse the machine by being rolled along an angled rail by a conveyor belt, allowing the camera to capture 360° images to inspect the cartridge, casing, or bullet.
A single CCD camera executes additional vision inspection of the headstamp or primer. These configurations allow customers to check for case splits, deformations, corrosion, and primer inspection.
