Ammunition manufacturers worldwide supplying to military and law-enforcement customers have benefitted from a method to produce brass ammunition cases that has boosted production output, cut tooling costs and tool-changeover time, and improved process and equipment reliability and uptime. To satisfy demand for ammunition cases, many metalformers opt for standard mechanical presses, then incorporate complex, specially designed tooling. But Nobs Engineering AG, a Swiss supplier of custom metalforming equipment, has developed compact systems that leverage state-of-the-art machine and automation technologies, and has supplied these systems to manufacturers throughout the world. These systems are available in North America for ammunition as well as other applications where tubular parts are manufactured in high volumes.
