Attractive opportunities on jet-engine discs and hubs were being turned away because the repair center lacked the equipment to peen discs and hubs to specifications. CONSTRAINTS: Money. Knowing that shot-peening systems with the necessary controls and monitoring devices to meet spec can drain a budget, the repair center wanted a bare-bones system.
