Abstract:  
With over 50,000 machines supplied to 15,000 active customers worldwide, Wheelabrator Plus maintains the largest installed base in the industry. Although most well known for shotblast applications, Peening has been an integral part of the Wheelabrator offering since the earliest days. “Wheelapeening” was introduced in the 1940’s for automotive applications and Wheelabrator became the industry leader in peening of aircraft landing gear in the 1960’s. The legacy continues today with peening leadership in diverse industries including automotive, aerospace, defense and medical applications.
