The Shotmeter advantage
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
- Controller process parameters
- Data files and traceability
The most accurate in the industry
Velocity measurements are factory calibrated using a NIST traceable calibration bench to recreate actual conditions in the field.
Save time
- 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
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.
