The need for better inspection equipment to reduce inspection time, with non-wear characteristics, is a perpetual and recurrent requirement in fuze and ordnance manufacturing. One significant attempt to improve inspection methods was conceived during the manufacture of the M572 fuze. This was Contract No. DAAA26-76-C-0344, for the development and fabrication of an automated Inspection Machine for Mechanical Time Fuze Components. The inspection machine was constructed in three units. The first ...
On June 5, 1979, authorization was given to proceed and show the adaptability of the Automatic Non-Contact Inspection Machine to various timer, SSD and trigger plate components of the M577 MTSQ Fuze. The Bulova Systems and Instruments Corporation has already developed a prototype machine for automatic non-contact dimensional inspection of mechanical time fuze movement plates. In accordance with contractual requirements, this machine was designed and built to primarily inspect plate ...
