Landing Gear Peening and Treatment

Spot shot peening and/or peening of the entire landing gear can be achieved by airblast techniques utilising multiple nozzles and lances.

A polyarticulated robot or carriage combined with multiple nozzles and lances can operate in a variety of axes to process parts with complex geometries.

In this manner simultaneous shot peening of external and internal surfaces can be achieved.

For maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of landing gear in situ, a closed circuit blast machine can be used for paint removal and other blast cleaning applications.

When the landing gear is removed from the aircraft a much more thorough treatment is possible using air or wheelblast technology, as above.
