Home Forums General Discussion Ask Dr. Peener lower intensity range

hi,

i have robotic shot peening machine and form last one week i am trying to establish the intensity of .004-.006A with ASR 230 cast steel shots. i tried with different parameters but unable to get the same. following are the details of the machine.

1.)Media : ASR 230
2.)Nozzle size : 5/16"
3.)blast hose: 1"
4.)Magna valve for S230

Please suggest if its possible to get the intensity as well as 100% coverage with S230 shots or i need to change the media size....

1. Is your intensity too high or too low?
2. What is your air pressure?
3. Have you performed Almen saturation tests and can you send the results?
