Cartridge Case Optical Inspection, Measurement & Sorting Machine

Inspection Capabilities

The system uses advanced machine vision inspection technology and automation.

• Overall Length

  Total case length and dimensional deviation

• Case Body Diameter

  OD at one or multiple specified positions

• Neck Diameter

  Outside diameter of the neck area, where applicable

• Mouth Diameter

  Case-mouth opening diameter

• Shoulder Position

  Location and geometry of the shoulder, for applicable cases

• Case Profile

  Complete external contour/profile against the master profile

• Case Mouth Condition

  Deformation, uneven opening, dents or irregular rim

• Case Head Diameter

  External head/base diameter

• Rim Diameter

  Rim OD and dimensional consistency

• Rim Thickness / Profile

  Visible rim geometry and profile

• Extractor Groove Geometry

  Groove presence, width/profile and deformation

• Flash Hole Presence

  Presence/absence where optically accessible

• Headstamp / Marking

  Presence, position and visual quality of markings

• Surface Scratches

  Visible scratches, scoring and tooling marks

• Dents / Deformation

  Local dents, flattening, bulging and distortion

• Cracks / Splits

  Visible surface cracks, especially around the mouth/neck

• Wrinkles / Folds

  Forming-related wrinkles or folds

• Burrs

  Visible burrs around the mouth, rim or edges

• Surface Finish

  Visible discoloration, stains, spots and surface irregularities

• Ovality / Roundness

  Circularity variation measured from suitable camera views

• Straightness

  Case-axis deviation or visible bending

• Concentricity

  Relative alignment of visible circular features

• Foreign Material

  Visible contamination or unwanted particles

• Presence / Orientation

  Correct part presence and inspection orientation

• Dimensional Profile Matching

  Comparison of the measured silhouette against a reference profile
