This machine is used to fill a Charge Sleeve on a Header S/A with an Ignition Charge of powder by volume. Typically the Header S/A comes to the machine directly from the Charge Sleeve Welder. The machine is built around a 12 station cam driven index table. The Tooling at each position on the index table consists of a heat treated and polished funnel and a spring loaded arm used to hold the Header S/A. At the first station the Header S/A's are fed from the plastic tube they were loaded into on the Charge Sleeve Welder with the pins hanging down. The clamp arm on the fixture is opened and the Header S/A is moved in under the funnel and roughly located. The clamp arm is then released to hold the Header S/A in the fixture. At the second station, the clamp is released slightly and  precision pin with a small lead in chamfer is moved through the funnel and into the hole in the Charge Sleeve.
