Shotmeter:
Production-friendly shot peening sensor
The Shotmeter is an in-line shot peening sensor that measures in-flight particle velocity. This is an easy-to-use sensor to monitor daily, equipment status, quality control, process development, and setup transfer.

The Shotmeter advantage
Achieve targeted intensity easily
Shot peening processes are sensitive to the intensity which is directly correlated with the media velocity. Achieving repeatable velocity is key to maximizing consistency. Monitoring the real-time in-flight velocity can help production managers monitor and attain:
- Proper equipment calibration
- Controller process parameters
- Datafiles and traceability
Best accuracy in the industry
The velocity measurements are factory calibrated using a NIST traceable calibration bench to recreate the conditions experienced in the field.
Save time
- Quicker peening parameter development and process optimization.
- Easy parameter transfer and replication from cell to cell.
- Quicker equipment qualification for new hardware.
- Direct correlation between the velocity and the Almen strip deflection.
Software features
Strip chart displays
The evolution of the velocity over time is visualized on an intuitive strip chart display.
Production reports
Production reports are generated with a single click in the user interface.
Setup files
The important setup parameters according to the conditions are saved and recalled easily.
