MGS operates with a full understanding of export control regulations for defense-related technologies. We've made significant efforts to meet ITAR requirements.

We understand the need for short lead times on machinery. Our scalable technologies can help you significantly increase throughput while reducing staff and manual processes.

Elevate Your packaging automation

Combining high efficiency with high performance

Our innovative methodologies take ammunition from bulk and singulate and orient it before it's placed into a carton or tray.

VersaSort™ Bulk Feeder
Our feeder features refined cartridge singulation, orientation and grouping techniques to deliver a controlled product stream. This gentle bulk-handling system minimizes recirculation, resulting in ammunition that’s as close as possible to its manufactured quality.

Cartridge Singulation Miter Starwheel and Chicane Cartridge Buffer
Our patented new technology is a connector between the VersaSort and the cartoner, serving two important functions: consistently and positively reorienting cartridges and creating a product buffer to handle bulk feed variability.

Handling High Volume Product

With Accuracy and Ensuring Product Integrity

Vision camera integration
We have vision systems available to confirm the presence of primers and projectiles. Incomplete rounds are ejected and verified to ensure customer satisfaction. We also have operator inspection stations with ergonomic seating as well as lighting and mirrors that allow for thorough cartridge quality inspection by your trained technicians.

Cartoning, case packing and palletizing
Our cartoner portfolio features a wide range of offerings, from low-speed, intermittent motion units through high-speed, continuous motion configurations. We also offer a fully automatic case packer as well as manual case packout stations, inkjet and laser carton and case printing, case labeling and several palletizer options to meet your needs.

Packaging accessories

Our product-handling expertise allows us to feed packaging accessories from bulk or magazine, singulate and orient, and position for cartridge loading. We have extensive experience incorporating accessories such as:

Dividers (aka separators)
Trays
Layer boards
Clipping

Case Study

CHALLENGE

Howell Munitions was using 45 shift workers to hand-pack 400,000 rifle rounds per day. This resulted in staffing issues and repetitive- motion injuries. In addition, the human ability to perform manual inspections for cosmetic damage drops after three hours.

SOLUTION

MGS installed a state-of-the-art round packaging line that integrated the VersaSort with a vision inspection system, Adept Cobra robot, RCS cartoner and laser printer to package up to 350 parts/minute. The VersaSort prevents cosmetic scuffing, while the new vision system never gets bored or misses a quality issue. We took ownership of the entire system, including third-party components.

This new system reduced repetitive injuries and allowed Howell to redirect 34 people to other duties. They now produce more than 2 million rounds per day, with the line paying for itself in 4½ months.
