The Shotmeter 4.0 advantage
AMS2432E compliant
SAE International’s October 2022 latest revision E of AMS2432 confirms media velocity sensors as an approved alternative to Almen strips for production part shot peening.
Easily achieve targeted intensity
Shot peening processes are sensitive to intensity, which is directly correlated with media velocity. Achieving repeatable velocity is the key to maximizing consistency. Monitoring real-time in-flight velocity can help production managers monitor and attain:
- Proper equipment calibration
- Control process parameters
Reduce cost per part
- Quicker peening parameter development and process optimization
- Easy cell-to-cell parameter transfer and replication
- Quicker equipment qualification for new hardware
- Direct correlation between velocity and Almen strip deflection
NIST and Nadcap audits
Digital data collection and traceability for successful Nadcap® audits. Velocity measurements are factory-calibrated using a NIST-traceable calibration bench to recreate actual conditions in the field.
Software features
Strip chart displays
Visualizes the evolution of velocity over time on an intuitive strip chart display.
Production reports
Generates production reports with one click in the user interface.
Set-up files
Saves and recalls important set-up parameters according to the conditions.
Video files
Saves videos of the process with one click on the user interface.
Alignment assist
Easy alignment of the nozzle through the camera.
Go/No Go tool
Automatically trigger go/no go decisions based on data.
