Product catalog summary
Introduction to Shot Peening
Shot peening is a cold working process used primarily in the aerospace, automotive, and nuclear industries to enhance the service life of components. It involves bombarding the surface of a component with small spherical particles, creating compressive stresses that improve fatigue resistance.

Process Monitoring and Control
Guyson's shot peening systems utilize compressed air for precise treatment. The process is monitored using Almen strips to ensure the desired peening intensity. Custom Almen strip holders can be designed to replicate component geometry. The systems control shot size and shape to meet ASM2430 requirements, with shot flow rate monitored by Magna-Valves.

Automated and Robotic Shot Peening
Guyson offers automated shot peening systems to eliminate manual process variations. These systems use multiple nozzles and PLC control for consistent results. For complex geometries, robotic systems with 6-axis arms provide precise control over the peening process, reducing setup times and operator errors.

Applications and Testing
Guyson's shot peening systems are used in various industries, including aerospace, medical, oil & gas, and automotive. Applications include turbine blades, orthopedic implants, and gears. Prospective users can submit components for free testing to determine optimal peening parameters.

Shot peening benefits Process monitoring and control Digital Almen gauge Controlled shot peening is regularly specified by the aerospace, automotive and nuclear industries to enhance component service life. It is a cold working process in which the surface of the component is bombarded with small spherical blast media particles. Each piece of shot striking the surface of the component acts as a miniature peening hammer, deforming the component surface and causing a small indentation or dimple. The overlapping dimples develop a thin layer of metal in residual compressive stress at or near the...

Shot peening solutions Automatic and robotic shot peening Guyson automatic shot peening systems are designed to eliminate variations in manual blast processes. Depending on the geometry of the components, the cycle time available and the flow of work, a variety of different automated shot peening machines are available including tumble peen, conveyor peen, rotary table peen and spindle peen. In Guyson's automated air blast peening machines, multiple nozzles, pre-set at the correct impact angle and stand off distance, are aimed at the target surfaces. With component rotation and the peening nozzle(s)...
