Shot Peening
SURFEX® designs and manufactures Robotic Shot Peening M/c for Aerospace Industry. To generate the controlled compressive stress to the surface (near – surface region) and to enhance the surface properties (increase the fatigue strength), the job surface will be pounded by spherical peening media to create small indentation, which increases the life of components.
Controlled Shot Peening is regularly being specified by the aerospace industry to enhance component service life (by better fatigue performance). It is a cold working process in which the surface of the job (being processed) is bombarded (or pouned) with spherical peening media. Each piece of shot striking (or pounding) the surface of the job acts as a minuscule peening hammer, deforming the job surface and causing a small indentation. The overlapping indentations develop a thin layer of metal under residual compressive stress at or near the surface. Since nearly all the fatigue and stress corrosion failures start at the surface of a job, the compressive stresses induced by shot peening can considerably increase component service life (by better fatigue performance) and move the job into a higher cycle fatigue regime.
Process consistency in the shot peening process is vital, and the “SURFEX” machines are custom designed to control all the critical variables to suit the applications.
SURFEX® equipment includes a fully automatic Dust Collection System to remove dust and fines from the peening chamber.

Highlights of Robotic Shot Peening Machine:
Our Robotic Shot Peening Machines are built to deliver superior surface treatment with reliability and process efficiency.
Shot peening is one of the most trusted ways to improve the fatigue performance of metal components, and the aerospace industry specifies it regularly for parts that carry repeated loads. Automating the process with a robot adds benefits that matter on high-value parts.
Each of these benefits depends on a machine configured for the actual component and the specified process. That is why every SURFEX® robotic shot peening machine starts from the component drawing and the process requirement.
Shot peening is considered for fatigue-critical parts where cracks start at the surface. Whether a particular part is peened is always decided by its design and process specification. Typical examples include:
Share your component drawing and process specification to discuss whether a robotic configuration suits your part.
Aerospace shot peening is controlled through intensity and coverage, and the machine must help you control and prove both. When comparing machines and manufacturers, check the following.
Intensity is measured with Almen strips. A standard steel strip is peened on one side and bows toward the peened face. The arc height of that bow is read on a gage. Several strips peened for different times give a saturation curve, and the intensity is the arc height at the point where doubling the exposure time adds no more than 10 percent.
The machine layout should let strip holders be peened at representative positions, and the parameter sets should stay repeatable from one verification run to the next.
Coverage is the percentage of the surface covered by peening dimples. SAE J2277 treats full coverage as 98 percent actual coverage, and many aerospace drawings call for 100 percent or more. In a robotic cell, coverage is a result of nozzle speed, overlap, number of passes and stand-off distance, all of which the robot program controls.
Critical aerospace parts are often peened under computer-monitored practice such as AMS 2432, where process input settings are observed and recorded in real time. Where your specification requires it, the control system should monitor shot flow, air pressure and robot movement, and keep records for each batch or component.
Open surfaces use standard nozzles. Bores, slots and recesses may need deflector or rotating lances. Customizable nozzles and tooling let the machine follow the geometry of your component rather than force the component to suit the machine.
Used media must be recovered and separated so that dust, fines and broken particles are removed before reuse. SURFEX® equipment includes a fully automatic Dust Collection System to remove dust and fines from the peening chamber, which helps keep the process stable and the work area clean.
SFECIndia works at international level. As a robotic shot peening machine manufacturer based in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, we work with customers and project teams across the USA, Germany, the UK, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the wider Middle East, Australia, Vietnam and Asia, as well as within India.
Whether you are looking for a robotic shot peening machine manufacturer in the USA, Germany, the UK, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Australia or Vietnam, the starting point is the same: your component, your process specification and your production target.
International projects need more than a machine. Site dimensions, available utilities, electrical standards, extraction arrangements, shipment dimensions and installation responsibilities all need to be settled early. Because each SURFEX® machine is custom designed to control the critical variables of the application, we discuss these details directly with you before preparing a project-specific proposal.
Working with a robotic shot peening machine manufacturer in India gives overseas buyers direct technical communication and custom engineering around the component. Delivery, installation and commissioning arrangements are confirmed in the proposal, together with any certification, customer approval or documentation your program requires.

From first message to proposal, the process is simple and technical. You do not need a complete specification to begin.
A robotic shot peening machine uses automated robotic systems to move the peening nozzle, the component or both, so that spherical peening media strikes the surface in a controlled and repeatable way. The aim is to improve the fatigue life and durability of metal components.
Nearly all fatigue and stress corrosion failures start at the surface. Shot peening creates a thin layer of residual compressive stress at or near the surface, which can considerably increase component service life through better fatigue performance.
Surface Finishing Equipment Company (SURFEX / SFECIndia), based in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, designs and manufactures robotic shot peening machines for aerospace, automotive and other manufacturing applications.
Yes. SURFEX machines are custom designed to control the critical variables of the application, and nozzles and tooling can be customised to match different part geometries. A drawing-based review confirms the right configuration for your part.
SURFEX equipment includes a fully automatic Dust Collection System to remove dust and fines from the peening chamber.
Intensity is verified with Almen strips. A strip is peened on one side, the arc height of its bow is measured, and a saturation curve is built from several exposure times. The governing process specification defines the required intensity range and procedure.
Coverage is the percentage of the surface area covered by peening dimples. SAE J2277 treats full coverage as 98 percent actual coverage. Your drawing or specification states the coverage required, which may be 100 percent or higher.
