Aerospace Surface Treatment Equipment
Surface Finishing Equipment Co. designs and builds aerospace surface treatment equipment around your component, not around a catalogue. Each aerospace surface treatment machine is engineered to your drawing, process parameters and production volume, from a single aerospace surface treatment system for a prototype cell to a fully automated line.
Operating since 1977, we supply aerospace processing equipment, custom aerospace processing equipment and aerospace component processing equipment with CNC, robotic and automated handling, built in Jodhpur, India and installed worldwide. We are also one of the established shot blasting machine manufacturers and shot peening machine manufacturers in India.
Custom Aerospace Surface Treatment Machines for Complex Components
Send the component drawing and treatment requirement. Our engineers review geometry, treatment areas, automation level, inspection and process control, and output per shift, then propose a machine that fits the part.
What Is Aerospace Surface Treatment Equipment?
Aerospace surface treatment equipment is the machinery used to prepare, clean, strengthen or finish aircraft and engine components so they survive fatigue, wear and corrosion in service. Aerospace processors list anodizing, plating, passivation, blasting and peening as separate processes, and each demands different equipment. The right choice depends on the component and how it is used.
Our specialisation is automated and controlled shot peening and related mechanical surface treatment machinery. Chemical coating and anodizing lines are outside our scope. If you need compressive-stress peening, controlled blasting or mechanical surface preparation, this is the right place.
A complete aerospace surface processing equipment package normally combines a blast or peening chamber, media handling and recovery, a manipulator (CNC, multi-axis or robot), process monitoring and dust collection. Because safety-critical parts differ so widely, aerospace component treatment equipment is rarely off the shelf, and engineering to order is our default model.
The aim is always the same: a repeatable, documented process that gives every component the same treatment, whoever runs the machine.

Custom Aerospace Surface Treatment Equipment
Surface Finishing Equipment Co. designs and manufactures custom aerospace surface treatment equipment according to component geometry, production requirements, treatment parameters, automation level and customer specifications. A custom aerospace surface treatment machine from us starts with your part.
Typical scope includes aerospace special process equipment for one-off parts, aerospace component treatment machines for part families, and automated aerospace processing equipment for repeat production where operator variation must be removed. Our design team works in 3D software so fixtures, nozzle paths and manipulator motion are validated before fabrication begins.
Our process runs from requirement to engineering, machine design, manufacturing, testing, installation and support:
- Customer requirementDrawing, material, spec
- EngineeringFeasibility, concept
- Machine design3D model, fixtures, controls
- ManufacturingTwo plants, 10,800+ sq. m
- TestingTrials on your part
- Installation and supportTraining, spares, service
Aerospace Surface Treatment Machine Configurations
We choose configuration from part size, cycle time and the variation the process can tolerate. Your engineer will confirm the exact option for your part.
Automated Surface Treatment Machines
Programmable automated aerospace processing systems with recipe control, closed-loop media flow and repeatable coverage. The usual aerospace surface treatment machine choice when results must not depend on the operator.
Robotic Processing Systems
A robotic aerospace processing system moves the nozzle or part along a taught path, ideal for complex contours. See our robotic shot peening machine for aerospace, a working robotic surface treatment system.
CNC / Multi-Axis Systems
CNC aerospace processing equipment with part rotation and nozzle traverse gives precise positioning on shafts and gears. Our CNC shot peening machine for gears and shafts shows how a multi-axis aerospace processing system works.
Custom Special-Purpose Machines
When no standard layout works we build custom aerospace processing equipment as dedicated aerospace special process equipment: unusual part length, internal-bore nozzles, dedicated fixtures or integrated inspection.
Aerospace Shot Peening & Surface Treatment Systems
Shot peening strikes a surface with controlled media to create a layer of compressive residual stress, which slows the start of fatigue cracks on load-bearing parts. Where controlled peening is required, we engineer aerospace shot peening equipment around the component geometry, process requirement and production volume.
Depending on the part, this means a nozzle-operated aerospace shot peening machine, an automated shot peening system with recipe control, a CNC shot peening machine for rotating parts, or a robotic shot peening machine for complex shapes. Our standard indexing table shot peening machines come in air-operated and airless versions.
Shot peening differs from ordinary blasting. Blasting cleans and prepares; peening strengthens. Our range covers both, and you can review our wider shot blasting machine range for cleaning and preparation work.
Aerospace Components We Can Process
Aircraft Landing Gear
Long, heavy, high-stress parts need landing gear surface treatment equipment with strong manipulators and large enclosures. A landing gear processing machine or landing gear peening equipment is sized around cylinder length, lugs and bores.
Aero Engine Components
Aero engine component processing equipment handles discs, shafts, casings and rings where coverage and repeatability matter. Every aero engine component treatment machine uses fixtures made for the exact part.
Turbine Components
Blades, discs and hubs call for turbine component processing equipment with precise nozzle positioning. Turbine component surface treatment is controlled through recipe-driven motion and media flow.
Aircraft Structural Components
Aircraft component processing equipment for brackets, fittings and frames. An aircraft component treatment machine may be a cabinet, an indexing table or a robot cell, depending on size and volume.
Gears, Shafts & Critical Components
Aerospace component treatment equipment and aerospace component processing machines for transmission gears and actuator shafts, often on CNC rotation.

Shot Peening & Aerospace Surface Treatment: Frequently Asked Questions
What is shot peening?
Shot peening is a cold-working process where small round media strikes a metal surface, creating compressive residual stress that improves fatigue life.
What is the difference between shot peening and shot blasting?
Shot blasting cleans a surface by removing rust, scale or coatings. Shot peening is controlled to strengthen the surface and extend fatigue life.
What is shot peening used for in aerospace?
It is used on landing gear, gears, shafts, turbine and engine parts to resist fatigue and stress-corrosion cracking.
What is Almen intensity?
Almen intensity measures the energy of a peening stream by the arc height of a standard steel strip after exposure. It is used to control and repeat the process.
Is shot peening the same as sandblasting?
No. Sandblasting mainly cleans or roughens a surface, while shot peening uses controlled round media to induce beneficial compressive stress.
How much does a shot peening machine cost?
Price depends on size, automation, CNC or robot axes, monitoring and documentation. Send your drawing and volume for a quotation.
Can you build a machine to my component drawing?
Yes. Send the drawing and process requirement and our engineers will propose a custom configuration.
