ADC Cannons are the basis for most sports development system, and ADC's cannons are the standard by which all others are measured. Our cannons are unmatched in accuracy, repeatability, and flexibility, and are adaptable into any application.

Our cannons fall into 2 basic families: The rear-load Cannon Style 2 Line and the high-precision front-load SuperCannon 2000 Line. Like all ADC products, these cannons can be completely customized to your company's specific needs.

The ADC Super Cannon was the first to be able to fire a range of ball sizes without having to change the barrel or sacrifice accuracy. The improvements of the 2000 model have been carried to the next level with improvements in our insert system, mounting, and electrical resolution. With existing models for several sports, the applications of the Super Cannon 2004 are limitless.

The ADC SuperCannon is designed for applications or coporations that require the highest in velocity and position accuracy, or for customers wishing to change between ball or core sizes in less than a few minutes. These are the cannons to use for any high precision needs, or when precision velocity repeatability is what matters most.

The Super Cannon 2004 makes no sacrifices, firing golf balls or cores with an accuracy of +/- 0.5 Feet/second (0.15 m/s) at speeds of 140 - 180 Feet/second (42.67-54.86 Meters/second). The cannon can fire balls ranging 1.65 - 1.72" (4.2 - 4.4 cm) in diameter and golf ball core sizes as specified at time of order. Upgrades are also available for your existing Super Cannon.

While the standard Cannon Style 2 is not as accurate as the SuperCannon 2000 family, it is by far the most popular ball cannon in the world. With a velocity repeatability of +/- 2 Feet/second (0.6096 Meters/second) at speeds of 140-180 Feet/second (42.67-54.86 Meters/second), the Cannon Style 2 is more than accurate enough for most applications.

The Cannon Style 2 family is the standard for most ball-centric testing, as data for such research generally does not require the fine velocity and position accuracy of an equipment durability test. This cannon is also the first choice for any high-volume testing, when cycle time is a critical factor.

The advantage of the Cannon Style 2 is a cycle time twice as fast as the SuperCannon due to its simpler loading mechanism. And, thanks to ADC's quick-change barrel design, changing between ball sizes is a snap and can be accomplished in less than 15 minutes.

The Sabot-Style cannon is primarily used by baseball and softball manufacturers for dynamic stiffness testing, and is also used for certification of products. A single-fire, manual load cannon, the use of a Sabot greatly increases the accuracy of the cannon.

The cannon is typically supplied as a stand-alone unit, or coupled with a customized iBeam array for use with dynamic stiffness software. A motorized version is available, which allows the user to easily adjust the firing height of the cannon.
