Robotic Shot Peening Machine

surfex robotic shot peening machines with following features:
the shot peening process is based on the effect of introducing compressive stresses in the surface of a metal part by controlled impinging with spherical particles. By this the resistance against fatigue will be increased and therefore also the life of a part.in the space and aircraft-industries the advantages of the shot peening process are already known: the increase of the fatigue-life of critical parts without weight increase. The designers who used shot peening in applications where the effects of fatigue were caused by grinding, electrical discharge- and electrochemical-machining (edm and ecm), electroplating, anodising, thermal spraying and welding. It also can help increase resistance to fretting, galling, caviation erosion, stress-corrosion cracking, intergranulair corrosion and hydrogen-embrittlement.

we are specializes in the general blast technologies for cleaning, roughening and activating surfaces. This way we were able to encounter demands of the industry in the for the shot peening process.

to control the shoot peening process, one needs the very precision of the shot peening parameters. Surfex started with the development of precise controlled parameters:

• shotsize
• shot material and shot shape
• shot velocity and shot flowrate
• aiming of the nozzles (distance and angle)
• shot peening time

these parameters determine the intensity (indication for compressive stress) and the coverage (indication for effectively impinging the complete surface).

surfex shows its capability to precisely control, monitor and record the critical shot peening parameters.
