Abstract:  
Vacu-Blast has installed a special shot peening facility at the Rover Group plant in Longbridge, to process gearbox components for the Rover 600 and 800 Series. The facility has enabled Rover to uprate the torque handling capacity of these gearboxes by more than 10 percent by significantly enhancing the fatigue resistance of critical components - in line with Rover's "Total Quality" policy.
