Sandwell has integrated its latest high-tech shot peening machine into its production portfolio—the P16 has been designed and built entirely in-house.
This development of design and engineering not only raises the bar but also set the standard for all future developments.
When it came to the development of the P16 Shot Peening Machine, the objective was clear: to create a machine that embodies the highest levels of technology, flexibility, and control, while maintaining an intuitive and streamlined user interface. At Sandwell, we have over 20 years of experience in designing and developing shot peening equipment. This machine represents the culmination of everything we’ve learned, engineered into one remarkably capable system – the P16.
Built to accommodate the highly diverse range of components Sandwell processes, the machine features an advanced programmable interface within a truly flexible platform. From internal multi-stage shot classification to variable flow rates and adjustable axis speeds, the capabilities are extensive.
The machine’s standout features include a 3-axis nozzle mounted on the Z-axis and a variable-speed turntable on a movable X-axis, offering unprecedented levels of motion control and coverage. This configuration delivers a formidable tool for precision shot peening.
Key attributes of the new P16 Shot Peening Machine—precision, accuracy, repeatability, and traceability—define this latest evolution. With real-time process logging and comprehensive status displays, it reinforces Sandwell’s position at the forefront of advanced shot peening technology.
While full specifications remain confidential, this machine marks a major technological leap forward. Its design sets the foundation for future evolutions and confirms Sandwell’s leadership in the shot peening field—not just in the UK, but across Europe.
At Sandwell we specialise in a variety of surface engineering solutions for a range of industries. The components we work with are used in some of the harshest environments for monumental applications. If you have a requirement for shot peening and want to know more – contact our team today.
