Abstract:  
SHOT PEENING technology is an important process, especially in the aerospace industry, where there is no room for error. It requires careful monitoring of all parameters that impact the work process and consequently the final result of the shot peening itself. This is why this process is usually performed on an individual workpiece so as to allow the process to be tracked for each product based on serial number. But what about products that are installed in an airplane or in other machines in larger quantities? Or products of larger dimensions? For such products, conventional machines are not suitable or do not have a large enough capacity to meet production needs. Multiple machines are needed in such cases, which typically entails high investment costs.
