Annealing Equipment
Induction Annealing Equipment
Most cartridge annealing is performed in large conveyor type gas ovens or open flame processing systems often referred to as furnace annealing.
These systems are not only inefficient, costly to operate and inconsistent, they also tie up large quantities of product for long periods of time. Additionally, cases can easily become damaged through bulk dump part handling style processing.
Induction Annealing Machine
Setpoint has developed case manufacturing equipment designed to produce Mil-Spec ammunition. As part of this effort, an efficient annealing system that would allow the lean manufacturing practice of single part flow was developed to anneal brass cartridge cases. This process allows manufacturers to precisely and consistently anneal cartridge cases to exacting specifications.
Setpoint’s annealing systems utilize single part flow and precision coil annealing to ensure the quality, consistency, and overall integrity of each and every case. Each case is vision inspected to ensure proper mouth and neck annealing has occurred. With this level of consistency there has been a huge decrease in scrap due to folds, dents, splits and perforations.
The induction annealing equipment can be configured to produce between 50-300 parts per minute depending on machine configuration, caliber and number of annealing towers integrated into the system. Systems can also be configured to handle multiple calibers and sizes of cases. Using induction coils Setpoint has provided inner draw anneal, full body anneals, mouth and neck annealing, and head stress relief; this system is capable of a variety of anneal points. A 7.62mm case can be annealed in 800 milliseconds.
