The semi-portable bench is a shot peen equipment, ideal for a production or repair workshop with small and medium-sized production runs. It is also used by research laboratories wishing to produce a small quantity of samples.
Connected to a USP STRESSVOYAGER®, the process remains automatic. In fact, our semi-portable equipment is directly integrated into a shot-blasting bench.
This shot peen equipment can be sized to suit your requirements, depending on the size and weight of your parts.
As standard, we provide a bench measuring approximately 1100 x 1500 x 1000 mm.
A heigh-ajustable and tiltable acoustic unit is positioned in the center of the bench.
By means of plates mounted on linear axis that can be moved manually, it is possible to precisely adjust the different tools required according to the geometry of the different parts.
Once the tooling has been placed, shot peening operations can be realized with a high degree of repeatability without any handling of the operator, apart from loading/ unloading the part.
This is a cost-effective equipment that represents an intermediate solution between portable equipment and a stationary automated machine.
Nevertheless, automation is still possible with specific systems (i.e : rotation of the workpiece using motorization…)
Do you want to determine blasting parameters or process parts manually in your workshop or laboratory ? The shot-peening bench can meet your needs.
USP STRESSVOYAGER® portable system
Shot Peening Bench equipped with a STRESSVOYAGER®
Customized machines
The USP STRESSVOYAGER® is an ISO 9001 and EN 9100 certified portable system, using ultrasonic shot peening to treat metal parts in order to apply preventive or corrective operations for fatigue life cycle improving.
The STRESSONIC® technology is an innovative technique using ultrasonic waves for cold impact mechanical treatment of metal parts. Designed to improve fatigue resistance, this technology offers precise control, guaranteed reproducibility, low roughness, environmental cleanliness and enhanced operator safety. This technology enables shot peening, ultrasonic straightening/ forming, and impact treatment processes to be activated by ultrasound.
· Improved fatigue life
· Processing of parts with complex geometries
· Low roughness
· Shorter processing cycle
· Reduced use of balls, energy and compressed air
SONATS had sub-contracting workshop equipped with shot peening semi-portable bench for offloading or series production.
Sonats proposed its shot peen services for his Spanish customer in the steel industry to reinforce cutting blades. These blades, subjected to heavy mechanical and thermal stress, become dull and break after a certain period of use.
For the circular blades they use, we applied a sequence of operations including ultrasonic shot peening and machining. This enabled us to delay the onset of cracks and thus triple the service life of these blades.
For other (triangular) blades, we were able to apply a similar process which led us to increase their service life while eliminating certain costly re-machining steps.
Some of our customer’s shot-peen parts : retouching of casings, rotors, primary pump spacer, primary pump shaft, weld bead, etc
