Magnum provides quality engineered designs, as well as pre-engineered packaged solutions for many specific applications. Title: Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer

Responsible for: Concept and design of a Clipping Machine Producing packs of 10 cartridges 25 per minute ready to be easily loaded on the field. The unit has 4 designated feeders, two of which are loading the clips and the other two loading the cartridges.

A Camco Index brings the tooling in position, where counting station is presenting the cartridges on the clip. Proximity switches and beam lights counting the cartridges also detect any malfunction of the station. Concept and design of a Varnishing Machine- the scope of the unit is to apply a film of varnish inside the mouth of the cartridge in order to assure a tight fit when the bullet will be inserted. There are two feeders delivering the cartridge oriented mouth up, check position and reject cartridges loaded upside down. Prior to the check of the cartridge, an EFD system is spraying the varnish on the inside wall then parts are dropped on a conveyor where operators will have a direct inspection. NICK V. STAICU Page2
