We were lucky enough to purchase ADEC in 1979 when G+W's Charlie Bluhdorn was forced to sell the G+W Industrial divisions out of Southfield, Michigan. We had sold one system to Taiwan and Taipei wanted another one but G+W refused to supply it because of a pending divestiture so we bought ADEC. Lake City had five systems running 24/7 back in the Seventies, and Israel's Nazareth Ilit Arsenal had one, as did Taiwan's Arsenal. When working smoothly, they were fantastic but tool wear was a constant concern. Straight line presses making progressive draws were arguably more accurate with less tolerance stack up but much slower. The lines are still in operation.
They need that today to keep up with demand. Companies need to go to this system. I would like to have just 30 min of there production. Video is great eye candy
They sure are proud of their cam-driven technology. I wonder how they keep all those cams and rollers lubricated and with what. I was amazed that all those whirling work tables did not fling oil all over the place. Still, this is all only the way things were in 1970. I wonder what the really modern ammunition machines look like.

Gotta admire the genius and effort that went into developing that monster. Very cool.

it still runs to this day but for the lake city ammo plant for military use.
@@abrahamhollenbeck720 We are still selling ammo under the Winchester name.
At 5:03 these ammunition presses make 1080 cases per minute of the .556 AR-15 ammunition
From what I'm able to find the bulk of it remains to be batch manufacturing.
Why not give the market one day of production to release us of no ammo?
Im sold. Ill take it!
I'll tell you there are less than 10 in the world. ;)

Those machines are alive and kicking today.

"emptying his CLIP"
Really?
I spent some time ar a major ammunition plant
Rhe QAQC is insanely high
I'm curious as to how the powder is dispensed so quickly.
That's just showing the empty case manufacturing. Loading is much slower (gravity fed). 10x the number of machines.
@@sstrick500 Incorrect. ;)
In some designs only a fraction of the powder is dispensed at multiple stations.
@@sstrick500 There are three types of SCAMP machines - bullet machines, case machines and loaders. All run at 1200 ppm.
Fewer jobs!
