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 faster:
- Process replication
- Equipment calibration
- New process development and validation
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.
Key features
Go/No Go tool
Automatically trigger go/no go decisions based on data.
New camera
The Shotmeter 4.0 includes a camera responsible for media stream geometry analysis.
Stability analysis
Along with the average readings, it measures the stability of the stream characteristics.
Ease of integration
Ranging from the default I/Os on the controller to complete control via HTTP commands or OPC UA, it offers flexible options for seamlessly integrating the sensor.
Alignment assist
Easy alignment of the nozzle through the camera.
Set-up files
Saves and recalls software parameters based on conditions.
Production reports
Generates production reports with a single click in the user interface or with a single signal via our integration options.
Self install
Complete documentation allowing for self-install and initial testing with the machine.
Remote training included
A remote training session with one of our Shotmeter specialists is included with the purchase.
