Gear Peening: The Intense Story

摘要

Gear peening systems have evolved over the past years. It is now possible to accord the same sophistication to peen gears in high volumes as is available to peen an aircraft landing gear. In both cases, the thrust is on repeatability and consistency of results. Mechanical process variables in conjunction with sophisticated yet simple controls provide great flexibility in setting the process to achieve the desired peening effect on the part. Contemporary automotive engineers are no longer restricted to using a traditional wheelblast machine or even just an airblast machine for their peening needs. Hybrid systems offer the benefits of both systems in an integrated platform designed to cater to specific needs.
