Conclusion
Awareness of the benefits of shot peening has certainly grown from the blacksmith hammering a piece of leafspring to impart better wear characteristics. Contemporary shot
peening machines have sophisticated computer controls that monitor the process to ensure repeatable and consistent results. Such systems ensure tighter control over the
process, resulting in alarms for non-critical faults and shut-down commands during occurrence of critical faults in the machine. Peening equipment designers are highly
cognizant of the importance of such checks and non-compromising product quality that their customers are faced with in their manufacturing process. Peening equipment design
is therefore geared to partner with other sophisticated manufacturing equipment in an auto parts manufacturing plant.
