Surfex introduces automated shot peening for high volumes

Surfex has brought revolution in shot peening machine for automobile industry by introducing high performance dual robotic shot peening machine for mass production. As we all know that automobile industry survives on volume, now to cater there shot peening application on volumes was a challenge. `Surfex` accepted this challenge and introduced a Dual Robotic shot peening machine complying to the latest shot peening standards and European safety standards. 

Axle beam of a four wheeler vehicle undergoes vehicle load and jerk load due to which failure of parts which are under stress is common, to address this issue `Surfex` introduced Automated Shot Peening solution.

Machine was designed to shot peen axle beams of various four wheeler vehicles to increase Fatigue life by relieving tensile stress and inducing compressive stress thus enhancing the life cycle of axle beam, machine was designed in such a way that idle non- productive time of machine is almost zero, due to this machine is able to perform round the clock thus working with 99 per cent availability. Machine is able to perform shot peening in 60-80 seconds.

For Automobile components manufacturers, the Machine consists of twin Jigs mounted on a trolley.  Part is loaded on Jigs with help of job manipulator or jib crane. When one jig is under shot peening operation, other jig is at Loading/ Unloading station for part loading/unloading operation.
 
Shot peening is performed by Dual 6 axis robots, peening nozzles are mounted on each robot. Shot flow is controlled by Magna valves and shot size is controlled by Sweco shot classifier. Robot performs shot peening in a synchronous pattern along with Jig manipulation and handled by Safe Move software thus maintaining highest degree of safety standards and guarantying peening intensity repeatability.

Machine consists of smart features that identifies the part model number and automatically selects the required recipe of shot peening and robot program and also validates shot peening has performed on the part, thus minimizing human interference and chances of error. 

Several well-known OEMs, Tier1, Tier2 in Automobile and Aerospace industry are already partnering with `Surfex`, looking into process verification and validation of the shot peening solution which they believe is another milestone in their respective industry.
