Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0736740A1] The positioning device (P) feeds in cartridges (M) and takes the cartridge cases out. The cartridges are held and taken along to the detonation position (4). The cartridges are positioned and detonated with precision and the empty cartridge cases are removed from the detonation point without creating swarf. There is a holding groove (3) for the cartridge case rims (22). The first guide surface (1) guides the cartridges by the cartridge case bottom. The second guiding surface is for the removal of the empty cartridge cases.
