i will follow your progress closely.
How are you going to fine tune the rotation/time?

Brass annealing machine.
I will run it using a Picaxe Microprocessor.
I will have two pots to adjust speed of the hub and timing of the cylinder dumping the brass.
Cheap cheap, built with spare parts. I may bite the dust for a new motor though.

Another take on annealing, it works awesome and fast by hand.... now if someone can automate the steps it takes.
Check out the bit about hot salt.

Where should I begin
I think I have enough bits and pieces to do it but would be a pain in the ass
Ever since the Vitrola I have not had a need to build my own record player
HP is inconsequential, speed will be determined by the Tempilaq....but looking at 1 or 2 seconds per rev. This should give me about 10 rotations of the brass. btw I am planning on using a stepper motor. Easier to program with what I have. If the cylinder actually ends up being the timing factor I can rotate full speed to the pick up point once the cylinder actuates.
I would have ussed the same terms....don't worry though, I am using a paper flame so all should be ok
That is a slick little machine. I am trying to get away from trying to synchronize two motors.

This is what inspired me

With the air cylinder and wheels I will be able to do almost all rifle cartridges. Some i may just have to swap one of the wheels for a smaller one.
Thats the theory anyways and will be proven/disproven in the weeks to come

I'm half way through building my version. I think I can get away without a feed drum but it if that doesn't work I'll drive the drum with a timing belt. The robotics hobby stores have a lot of these parts for low prices.
I was also thinking of the microprocessor route but found a cheap closed loop speed controller for series motors.
Well have the design done, motor inbound and started building some of the parts. Here is the final concept drawing.
Looks great.
