Measurement Sensors for the Defense and Ammunition Industry

Modern ammunition inspection machines have transformed manufacturing with faster, more precise inspections. With cutting-edge technologies like non-contact displacement, position and measurement sensors, these machines guarantee every round is crafted to perfection, meeting the highest quality standards before hitting the market. Additionally, this non-contact technology ensures the sensors do not interact with the ammunition, reducing the risk of damage or contamination. This also improves the precision and repeatability of the inspections.

The incorporation of high-precision optical micrometers in these machines enable exceptionally accurate ammunition measurements. These sensors don’t miss anything; they measure height, width, and angle with pinpoint precision, ensuring every round is perfect. When it comes to firing, consistency is non-negotiable.

Modern ammunition inspection machines use laser distance and position sensors to locate each round on the production line accurately. They quickly spot and fix issues before they escalate, catching defects early to stop small problems from turning into big headaches.

Automated quality control has revolutionized ammunition production, inspection, and ammunition testing. Reliability and efficiency are crucial, and integrating automated ammunition inspection systems is indispensable for the ammunition industry.

Automated quality control takes precision and consistency to the next level. Unlike manual methods, which can be prone to human error, these systems eliminate mistakes by removing the human element. The result? Reliable, repeatable ammunition measurements that ensure top-notch ammunition quality, reduce waste, and improve efficiency.

With automation, you can handle higher volumes effortlessly, ramping up production efficiency while slashing labor costs. Forget the hassle of slow, manual methods, welcome a faster, smarter, and more reliable way to test.

Automated quality control takes data management to the next level. With integrated software, all inspection and measurement data are securely stored and easily accessible, making analysis and reporting a breeze.

Manufacturers can simplify regulatory compliance with automated measurement systems powered by integrated software. With built-in traceability and adherence to industry standards, staying compliant has never been easier or more efficient.

As technology advances, traditional ammunition inspection methods like manual measurements with calipers or gauges have become inefficient and unreliable. These outdated techniques are prone to human error, leading to inconsistent results and potential safety hazards.

KEYENCE's TM-X5000 Series measurement sensors provide a non-contact solution for ammunition inspection, eliminating operator variability while ensuring accurate and consistent results. These optical micrometers measure the dimensions and tolerances of components like casings, bullets, and cartridges. These sensors create a 2D silhouette of your target for a more detailed analysis. This smart tech speeds up inspections, improves accuracy, and cuts down on human errors, making quality control more reliable and consistent.

One significant advantage of employing KEYENCE measurement sensors for ammunition inspection is their high-resolution capability. The TM-X5000 Series offers a pre-calibrated solution providing a precise and detailed representation of the target shape or material. This level of precision is perfect for measuring small, intricate components with tight tolerances, which is exactly what’s needed in the intricate world of ammunition manufacturing. With this level of accuracy, defects or deviations from desired dimensions are readily identified, allowing for prompt adjustments in the production process.

If also looking to inspect things like primer presence or seating, character recognition or defects on cases the LJ-X8000 Series profiler can get a detailed 3D image to ensure the ammunition is within specifications. The LJ-X8000 Series offers a high accuracy solution by taking a 3D image consisting of thousands of 2D profiles to accurately depict your part and reliably detect minute changes and defects.
