Imagine if the camera took a still at the bottom of the stroke and instantly
compared the image to a "standard" then sounded an alarm if the image was
too far from the standard and locked the press? Again, a powder-check die
would do just that but I would not be able to use my bullet feeder or my
separate crimp die.


How does the food packaging industry do this?

Weight.


Yes. It should be a lot easier to setup to weigh each completed round
automatically and alarm on out of tolerance ones, even log all the
weights.
