The company will supply Airbus with portable laser
peening system, complete with laser, beam delivery, tooling and automation controls, for use at Airbus facilities.
was looking for a new
peening system for treating the toothed surface areas of different gear shafts, their specifications called for compressive stress values, which can normally only be safely achieved in compressed air systems.
Straaltechniek International BV, founded in 1982, develops and builds complete installations for shot
peening and high-end blasting applications, and is the leading supplier of installations and services in the field of surface treatment.
Machine hammer
peening is based on the oscillating movement of an axially guided ram with a tool tip on its end (mostly spherical in shape), which periodically comes in contact with the workpiece.
And alluding to Laser shock
peening (LSP), it is an inventive surface treatment method which makes compressive remaining stresses close to the surface, in this way created fatigue show of metallic elements [7, 8].
Haraoka: Would it be possible for
peening to be applied to more high-technology sectorsWatanabe: Yes.
