FA X-10 Alarm Hub
FA X-10 Alarm Hub improves upon the idea of the press tool head centralizing notifications.
When sensors are plugged into the tool head, it is impossible to identify what has triggered the alarm, and there is only one level of it: flashing lights and loud, rapid buzzing.
The Alarm Hub indicates which of the four sensors is triggered and either softly beeps with the built-in buzzer for warning events or activates the press tool head alarm for critical malfunctions.

FA X-10 Bullet Sensor
Bullet sensor for the Frankford Arsenal X-10 press. Designed to establish the presence of a bullet in the 10th station (before crimp/ejection), which works best with the first-party combo feeder/seater die in station 9 and will provide an alarm with one station delay with a more conventional separated setup.
The sensor uses ToF to establish case presence and a laser transceiver to establish bullet presence. A limit switch determines the upward position of the shell plate to enable the sensor. The sensor bracket height is adjustable, making it suitable for pistol and rifle calibers. A small .5” display indicates the system state.

Mark 7 Powder Check Mod for FA X-10

The mod utilizes a Mark 7 Powder Check die and plungers, and it has a low profile to avoid interfering with the bullet seater and powder measure.
