Neck & Taper
Neck and Taper Presses for Precision Ammunition Manufacturing
Ammo Rx provides state-of-the-art neck and taper presses that are vital for shaping brass casings in ammunition manufacturing. The neck and taper process involves forming the shoulder, neck, and body taper on drawn case tubes after annealing, using dies to progressively reduce the diameter for bottlenecked cartridges, ensuring proper bullet seating, pressure resistance, and overall cartridge integrity. Our systems innovate with servo-driven technology, providing programmable motion paths, adjustable force, and speed control—contrasting with legacy flywheel presses that have seen little evolution since World War II. This servo approach enables rapid caliber changes without mechanical overhauls, real-time system feedback for immediate adjustments, and seamless integration into networked master controls, minimizing downtime while enhancing precision and energy efficiency. Versatile for rifle applications, these presses reduce defects, support automated lines, and deliver consistent results for defense, sporting, and tactical ammunition.
Purpose: Form precise necks and tapers on annealed brass casings for structural strength and fit Key Benefit: Servo flexibility for quick setups, accurate control, and superior efficiency over traditional methods.
Production Capacity:
Single-Out (1-out) Press: Up to 70 PPM for calibers like .223/5.56 and 7.62×39, with 90% efficiency
Double-Out (2-out) Press: Up to 140 PPM for calibers like .223/5.56 and 7.62×39, with 90% efficiency
Overview
Explore Ammo Rx’s advanced neck and taper presses, tailored for the post-annealing forming process to create high-integrity casings with uniform shoulders and necks. Our servo-driven innovations outperform conventional flywheel systems by offering dynamic adjustments, reduced maintenance, and enhanced repeatability, ideal for complex bottleneck shapes with minimal material stress.
