Description
If you have been grinding through round after round pulling the handle on your Mark 7 Apex 10 or Evolution press, the Autodrive is the upgrade that changes everything. It bolts onto your existing manual press and takes over the work, letting you dial in exactly how fast the machine runs while the computer handles the rest. The whole system is built around a patented digital drive that gives you command over speed, torque, and dwell straight from a touchscreen.
What the Apex 10 / Evolution Autodrive Brings to the Bench
At the heart of this kit is a 1.5 HP high-torque motor paired with a CNC-grade planetary gearbox and a maintenance-free timing belt. That combination makes for smooth, consistent strokes even under load, and it pushes user-selectable speeds anywhere from around 900 up to 3,500 rounds per hour depending on how you have things set. A digital clutch lets you make adjustments on the fly, and the digital jog plus immediate-stop functions give you precise control when you are setting up or clearing a station.
Smart Control With the Autodrive Tablet System
Instead of clunky control boxes, everything runs through a 10-inch full-color Android tablet preloaded with Mark 7 software. The software is upgradable for life, so the system keeps getting better over time at no extra cost. Built-in TorqueSense and JamSense technology watch the press in real time and will stop the machine instantly if something gets out of place, throwing an on-screen message so you know exactly what to check.
Room to Grow Your Autodrive Setup
This is a modular platform, which means it plays nicely with the full lineup of Mark 7 add-on sensors like DecapSense, SwageSense, the Primer Orientation Sensor, Powder Check, and BulletSense. You can turn sensors on and off as needed right from the tablet. The unit ships pre-assembled on a billet aluminum base with a drilled and tapped mounting plate and all the hardware, so most folks have it up and running in about 30 minutes. Keep in mind the press itself is not included, this is the drive system that automates the Apex 10 or Evolution you already own.
