Mark 7 Reloading Optical Decapsense Sensor For 1050 Super

The Mark 7 Optical Decapsense Sensor for 1050 Super is a smart safety upgrade designed for operators running the Mark 7 1050 Autodrive reloading press. This sensor uses optical recognition to detect whether spent primers are actually removed during the decapping stroke—a critical check that prevents crushed cases, broken decapping pins, and machine damage. If a primer isn't fully discarded or your decapping pin fails, the sensor stops the press after the stroke, giving you a clear signal to address the issue before it cascades into costly problems.

Built for high-volume reloaders and production shops, the Decapsense Sensor transforms your 1050 Super from a fast machine into a safer, smarter one. It eliminates the guesswork: no more wondering if that stubborn primer actually fell into the cup, no more discovering pin damage too late. The sensor also functions as a brass position detector—you can enable it to halt the press if brass isn't present in the decapping station, adding another layer of protection during longer runs. Disable the sensor via the Mark 7 tablet interface whenever you're processing new brass that doesn't require decapping.

Installation is straightforward on existing machines: the sensor uses your 1050 Super's existing hardware and mounting holes, and includes the sensor mounting bracket, clear tubing, and software update file. If you're buying a new press with this sensor, Mark 7 will install and test it for you. Once live, you'll never empty or worry about overflowing spent primer cups again—the sensor does the thinking, and you focus on what matters: consistent, safe reloading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sensor work with my Mark 7 1050 Autodrive press?

Yes, the Optical Decapsense Sensor is designed exclusively for the Mark 7 1050 Autodrive. Installation on an existing press uses your machine's existing hardware and mounting holes. If you purchase a new 1050 Super with this sensor, Mark 7 will install and test it for you.

Can I turn the sensor off if I'm loading new brass?

Yes. You can disable the Decapsense Sensor anytime via the Mark 7 tablet interface, making it ideal for workflows where decapping isn't needed or desired.

What happens if a spent primer doesn't fall during decapping?

The optical sensor detects when a spent primer remains on the decapping pin and stops the press after the stroke, allowing you to safely remove the impacted case and address the issue before continuing production.

What's included with the sensor?

The sensor ships with the mounting bracket, clear tubing, and an email-delivered software update file to sync with your 1050 Autodrive's tablet interface.
