Details
The OTM-7000SM, engineered by On The Mark Ammunition Solutions and delivered by Ammo Rx, is an advanced sealing machine designed for precise mouth and primer pocket sealing in ammunition production. Utilizing the state-of-the-art Nordson Jetting System for micro-deposits as small as 0.5 nanoliters with exceptional accuracy and repeatability up to 1000Hz, this system ensures superior sealant application for waterproofing and tamper evidence.
An indexing mechanism positions components horizontally on a rotary dial for efficient processing, followed by integrated UV curing for rapid bonding and a vision inspection system that verifies sealant coverage in real-time, rejecting defects to maintain quality. This compact machine supports calibers from .380 ACP to .338 Lapua with quick tooling conversions, operating at 50-80 parts per minute (caliber dependent) and featuring anti-static systems for safe handling of sensitive materials—ideal for high-volume lines in commercial, military, and reloading applications seeking enhanced reliability and efficiency.
- Purpose: Applies sealant to cartridge mouths and primer pockets for environmental protection and quality
- Key Benefit: High-speed precision with automated curing and inspection, reducing waste and ensuring consistency
- Production Capacity: 50-80 parts per minute, scalable for diverse calibers and production needs
Additional Information
More Details
Advanced Sealing System Nordson Jetting Technology The OTM-7000SM features the Nordson Jetting System, optimized for micro-precise sealant deposits on mouths and primer pockets. This technology delivers deposits as small as 0.5 nanoliters at speeds up to 1000Hz, ensuring uniform application without excess material. It supports seamless integration into lines for finished cartridges or primed brass casings, enhancing overall cartridge durability.
- Technology: Micro-deposit jetting for accurate, repeatable sealing
- Outcome: Minimizes waste and improves sealant adhesion for waterproofing
- Applications: Finished cartridges, primed brass, high-volume ammo assembly
UV Curing Technology After sealant application, the integrated UV curing light rapidly cures the material, ensuring strong bonding before discharge. This process accelerates throughput, allowing immediate handling and reducing cycle times in production environments.
- Features: Built-in UV light with blocking windows for safety
- Benefit: Enables fast, thorough curing without additional steps
- Reliability: Maintains sealant integrity in continuous operations
Vision Inspection System The OTM-7000SM includes a vision inspection system that examines each component for complete sealant coverage and accuracy. Real-time detection flags defects, ensuring only compliant parts proceed, which upholds SAAMI and MIL-SPEC standards while minimizing rejects.
