Abstract:  
SHOT PEENING is a process that requires a high level of control to achieve work process repeatability. The main reason for that is one cannot check the peening effect on actual material without destructive testing, so it is crucial to control all parameters that affect intensity in order to ensure that the shot peening process is done according to requirements. Today’s machines are equipped with PLC and HMI control; therefore, almost everything can be controlled and stored in case reverse checking is needed. For controlling their shot peening machines, FerroECOBlast uses their own platform called FerroSmartPanel, which can be set up on any HMI or PLC brand. It has been designed in-house based on our extensive know-how and experience in surface treatment gained since 1964.
