MIAMI , April 12, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- American Ammunition, Inc. (OTCBB:AAMI) announced today that it has acquired a totally automated 100% laser sorting quality control system. This laser technology -- precision narrow laser beam, multi-laser velocity gauge, split laser beam -- is used to accurately measure lengths, diameters and taper. The laser optic system with its narrow/split laser beam permits accurate proportions of small non-symmetric features. The multi-laser array also accurately measures variations in the velocity of the part while achieving precise lengths. This system measures external dimensions to print, ensuring out of tolerance parts are rejected. It also employs sophisticated image analysis software to detect variations/defects such as broken recesses, head cracks and defective tool cavity.
"This quality control system will allow us to provide a 100% computerized inspection and to apply statistical process control on every single cartridge we manufacture. We expect to have this system fully operational within 12 weeks," said Andres Fernandez, President and CEO of American Ammunition.
