SHOT PEENING SYSTEM
KUVS-102
DESCRIPTION
The shot peening system KUVS-102 (2015) is used at an established supplier in the aerospace industry. The complex external and internal contours of the mostly rotationally symmetrical workpieces require the use of different blasting tools and result in processing times of several hours.
