Intelligent mechanized reloading presses

[SciFiJim]

In this youtube video it shows a Dillon 1050 attached to a mechanical mechanism to automatically run the press. Does anyone know if these are available or is it a total custom build?

Ponsness Warren makes a unit that works for the Dillon 1050. Might be the one in the vid?

Combine that with either the GSI or KISS bullet feeder and you just sit there and keep the hopper for the cases, primers, and bullets full, as the bullets come raining out of that 1050!!!

The P&W auto drive is not an “intelligent” system at all. It’s more like a dummy with a big arm. If you build your own you can give it a little knowledge by hooking it up to the different sensors. They have two different speed setups I have the fast one and it’s still slower than I can go by hand http://s121.photobucket.com/albums/o213/jmorrismetal/?action=view&current=1050.flv However, I can case gauge while loading now so it’s still faster in the long run.

The best part is if you are just prepping cases (size/deprime and trim) then you can just fill the case feeder and let it go.
