Abstract
A case press is disclosed. The case press has a ram moveable relative to a base by an electric actuator. The case press also has a sensor for determining relative movement between the ram and the base. Further, the case press has a load cell for measuring a load exerted by the ram on a die positioned, in use, between the ram and the base.
Claims18
A case press comprising a ram moveable relative to a base by an electric actuator, a sensor for determining relative movement between the ram and the base, and a load cell for measuring a load exerted by the ram on a die positioned, in use, between the ram and the base.
A case press comprising a frame having a base and a support portion connected to the base, the base comprising or configured to engage a die, the case press further comprising an actuator supported by the support portion, a ram moveable by the actuator toward the die, a load cell for measuring a load exerted on the die and a sensor for determining movement of the ram relative to the base.
A method of generating a graphical display of insertion force relative to insertion distance as a bullet is inserted into a case by a case press,
- the case press comprising a ram moveable relative to a base by an actuator, a sensor for determining relative movement between the ram and the base, and a load cell for measuring a load exerted on the ram on a die positioned, in use, between the ram and the base,
- the method comprising simultaneously obtaining a position measurement from the sensor and a force measurement from the load cell at a plurality of times during the operation of the case press, and displaying the measurements in a graphical format.
