AUTODRIVE COMPARISON
MARK 7 WAS STARTED BECAUSE OF A DESIRE TO AUTOMATE A DILLON 1050 IN 2015. WE NOW OFFER MARK 7 AUTODRIVES TO AUTOMATE NOT ONLY OUR OWN APEX 10 OR EVOLUTION PRESSES, BUT ALSO MANY DILLON MODELS INCLDUING: 650/750, RL 1050, RL 1100, AND CP2000. ALL OF OUR AUTODRIVES ARE TRUE "PLUG AND PLAY" SYSTEMS THAT REQUIRE MINIMAL TIME TO MOUNT AND SET UP ON YOUR PRESS. THEY ALL INCLUDE TORQUESENSE AND DIGITAL CLUTCH SENSORS TO PROTECT YOUR PRESS AND THE AUTODRIVE IF ANYTHING GETS OUT OF PLACE, AND THEY ALL CAN ACCEPT ADDITIONAL SENSORS TO MONITOR VARIOUS OTHER FUNCTIONS.
IF YOU OWN A DILLON RL 1100 AND ARE CONSIDERING AUTOMATING IT, YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES; THE MARK 7 AUTODRIVE OR THE NEW DA3000. TO HELP YOU DECIDE, WE'VE CREATED A SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF THE KEY FEATURES BELOW.
