Priming

Advanced Continuous Motion Priming System Continuous Motion Dial Priming

The OTM-2000PM utilizes a proven continuous motion dial with heavy-duty thrust bearing for long life, delivering consistent primer insertion at rates up to 210 PPM, providing reliable ignition for demanding ammo production environments. Its mechanical timed case insert with main cam wheel and quick-change tooling enable fast caliber changeovers, ideal for high-volume runs while maximizing output and minimizing variability.

• Process: Continuous motion primer insertion for efficient brass case priming
• Outcome: Tight control, reduced defects, and optimized cycle times in ammo priming
• Control: Large touchscreen PLC with lot size set points, good/reject counters, active PPM export, camera controls, bowl/hopper controls, and active alarms for reliable operation

Precision Feeding + Quality Inspections

Experience breakthrough quality with the OTM-2000PM’s integrated automation, including a primer pocket inspection camera to ensure only empty pockets are fed and post-prime inspection for nearly 100% assurance of properly primed cases. Cloud connectivity allows downloading and tagging images of bad parts, with parts inspected pre-prime in a vertical stack for high-speed quality imaging, various checks, and bad part eject process to minimize defects and accelerate workflows in ammunition manufacturing.

• Mechanism: OTM-240A feed system with primer presents check camera, stack light indicators for low levels, and OTM-6PF vibratory primer feeder with variable speed controller for precision ammo processing
• Benefit: Reduced handling, faster changeovers, and cleaner workflows with minimal sorting labor in high-volume production
• Applications: Primer insertion for pistol, rifle, and large-caliber casings from 9mm to 338 Lapua

Robust, Production-Ready Design

Engineered for the rigors of ammunition production, the OTM-2000PM features coatings on all parts for corrosion prevention, hardened tool steels and oil-embedded bronze bushings for long life, full machine guards with safety sensors, E-stop, and smooth surfaces for easy cleanup. Machined from billet aluminums, steels, and stainless with stainless steel fasteners, this USA-made machine supports reliable, low-maintenance operation in challenging environments—making it the ultimate choice for high-volume priming equipment.

• Components: Main dial with thrust bearing, modular stations, OTM-240A feed system for durable priming
• Benefit: High uptime, reduced maintenance, and robust performance in ammo manufacturing settings
• Environment: Protected surfaces, solid steel frame for rigidity, and safe operator access for long-term reliability

Product Feeding

 Every OTM-2000PM comes standard with the OTM-240A feed system, a 24″ feeder equipped with primer presents check camera to assure only empty primer pockets are fed, low bowl indicators via stack lights to alert operators, and proven reliability for maintaining production rates. This intuitive design minimizes downtime and enhances efficiency in high-volume ammunition priming—ensuring smooth transitions without compromising precision or quality. The OTM-6PF is a 6-inch CNC-milled primer bowl for accuracy and repeatability, capable of feeding at adjustable rates with swappable slides on a 5-way adjustable base; whether 2 months or 5 years later, replacement parts are consistently the same.
