Abstract: A method for producing a base piece for receiving a primer for a multi-part cartridge case may include producing (e.g., by deforming) an extraction groove for engagement by a firearm ejector. The production of the extraction groove may be before a receptacle for a case jacket of the multi-part cartridge case for receiving a projectile is produced, such as by deforming. A tool arrangement for producing a base piece may be used to produce the base piece.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for the automated production of ammunition which consists of a plurality of ammunition parts, in particular a case, an ignition element, a projectile and a propellant, comprising a plurality of production stations, in particular an ammunition part insertion station, preferably a case insertion station and/or a projectile insertion station, for inserting at least one of the plurality of ammunition parts into the production process of the system, a plurality of quality control stations, at least one ammunition part processing station, for example a case forming station, a propellant filling station, a projectile assembly station, a projectile marking station and/or a discharge station for transporting the produced ammunition out of the production process of the system, and a conveying device for holding the plurality of ammunition parts and for transporting the plurality of ammunition parts to, from and/or between the plurality of production stations, wherein the convey

Abstract: The present invention relates to a workpiece carrier for an automated production line for ammunition having at least two ammunition parts, comprising a carrier base, such as a carriage, which is configured to be conveyed along the production line, and at least one receptacle arranged on the carrier base for holding at least two ammunition parts of the same type, such as two ammunition cases, two ammunition projectiles, two ammunition cartridges or two ammunition lighting caps, wherein the at least one ammunition part receptacle is mounted so as to be movable relative to the carrier base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for the automated filling of at least two ammunition cases with propellant powder for an automated production line for ammunition, comprising a dosing housing to which the at least two ammunition cases can be docked in such a way that the at least two ammunition cases are arranged along a path, and a dispensing device which can be moved along an image of the path of ammunition cases for dispensing propellant powder into the dosing housing, further comprising a guide for guiding the dispensing device along the image of the path of ammunition cases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a projectile, in particular a full metal jacket projectile or partial metal jacket projectile, for ammunition, for example with a caliber of at most 20 mm, in particular of at most 13 mm, comprising an at least partially hollow or solid projectile body with a circumferential and/or longitudinal groove arranged on its inner and/or outer surface, which transitions seamlessly into the adjacent inner and/or outer surfaces of the projectile body and/or has a radius of at least 0.05 mm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for singulating bulk material, such as ammunition parts, for example cases and/or projectiles, comprising an endless conveyor which is arranged with respect to a bulk material source in such a way that, under the influence of its weight, bulk material falls into conveyor trays, in particular being arranged in a row, of the endless conveyor which are conveyed past the bulk material source, wherein the conveyor trays have a receiving space for the bulk material which decreases in size during the conveying.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plant for the automated production of ammunition, which consists of a plurality of ammunition parts, in particular a case, an ignition element, a projectile and a propellant charge, comprising a plurality of production stations and a conveying device, which conveys the plurality of ammunition parts to and/or from the respective production station, wherein the conveying device is formed by a rail/carriage arrangement, in which the rail defines a conveying track of the plant and a plurality of carriages for holding the plurality of ammunition parts are guided by the rail.

Abstract: A cartridge case for ammunition may include a rotationally shaped case jacket for receiving a projectile and an annular base piece for receiving a primer and the case jacket. An annular wall of the base piece on the side of the case jacket is conically shaped at least in sections with respect to its axis of rotation. A retaining section of the case jacket on the side of the base piece is adapted in shape thereto so that the retaining section engages at least in sections behind the annular wall for fastening the case jacket and the base piece to one another. A distancing of the base piece and case jacket from each other may be prevented in the direction of the axis of rotation. The conical annular wall and the retaining section may be formed by plastic deformation of the base piece.

The present invention also relates to a tool arrangement for producing a base piece, a base piece and a cartridge case.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for locally associating electronic data to a solid body, such as a steel beam, in particular of data related to the solid body. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a system for marking and identifying solid bodies, such as steel beams.

Abstract: A cartridge case for centerfire ammunition may include a rotationally shaped casing sleeve for receiving a projectile as well as propellant charge powder, and a separate rotationally shaped bottom piece which is attached to the casing sleeve and has a closed ignition surface to be faced towards a firing pin for ignition of the centerfire ammunition. The closed ignition surface delimits, on the firing pin side, a receiving chamber for an ignition charge. The casing sleeve may have or support an anvil extending in the direction of the ignition surface into the receiving chamber. The ammunition may have a caliber in the range from, for example, 4.6 to 12.7.
