PeeningMachines
Wheelabrator’s Peening Machines deliver highly controlled shot peening solutions for applications where surface integrity, fatigue life, and residual stress control are critical. Designed for precision, repeatability, and traceability, this range supports both airblast and wheelblast technologies, tailored to the exacting standards of the aerospace, automotive, energy, and heavy engineering sectors.
Each system is engineered to apply uniform compressive stress across specific surfaces or part geometries, enhancing resistance to cracking, stress corrosion, and dynamic load failure.
From high-speed production lines to bespoke robotic cells, Wheelabrator peening machines are fully configurable to meet even the most demanding specifications.
