Pistol Case Line

Dive Into the Pistol Case Production Revolution

Step 1: Blanking & Cupping – The Foundation of Flawless Pistol Brass

Kick off with high-pressure cupping presses that punch brass strips into disks and form them into cups. Our servo-enhanced units handle thicknesses from 0.050″ to 0.100″, ensuring ductility for pistol calibers. Annealing integrations prevent cracks, setting up success for high-volume runs.

• Process: Precision blanking and cupping for seamless starts
• Outcome: Consistent cups with minimal defects – ready for drawing
• Applications: Perfect for compact cases like 9mm or .357 SIG

Step 2: Deep Drawing Mastery – Elongate with Unmatched Accuracy

Multi-stage deep draw transfer presses take over, shaping cups into precise cases. With adjustable 2-8 inch strokes and up to 75-ton force, these systems – drawing from OTM-5150 tech – achieve ±0.001″ wall thickness for pressures up to 35,000 PSI. Integrated transfers keep parts moving smoothly.

• Mechanism: Servo rams and bars for complex pistol profiles
• Benefit: Quick caliber changes – adapt on the fly!
• Applications: Straight-walled or bottlenecked pistols like .38 Special or .44 Magnum

Step 3: Head Turn & Trim – Precision Finishing That Shines

Dual-servo head turn & trim units, inspired by OTM-4350DS, handle rimming, grooving, and trimming in one pass. Enjoy 99% part-to-scrap separation and SAAMI-compliant lengths (e.g., 0.754″ for 9mm). Anti-static features combat dust in fast-paced environments.

• Process: Simultaneous machining for speed and consistency
• Outcome: Smooth, accurate heads for reliable firearm cycling
• Applications: Essential for semi-auto pistols in law enforcement or competition

Step 4: Inspections & Ancillaries – Zero Defects, Every Time

Automated optical inspections catch micro-flaws at full speed, while eco-friendly pickling, washing, polishing, and wastewater systems deliver mirror finishes sustainably. Modular for standalone or inline use.

• Mechanism: Real-time vision and green cleaning tech
• Benefit: Compliant, waste-minimizing operations
• Applications: High-stakes quality control for pistol ammo
