Abstract:
I OPENED the PeenSolver Pro™ from my desktop and
was impressed right from the start. It has a smooth interface
showing the Process Settings, Almen Strips, Saturation Curve,
and Intensity Verification all on the main page. I went to the
Help tab on the top left and opened the Instructions. After
starting to read, I realized it was good to get familiar with the
PeenSolver, but to us shot and flapper peeners, the software
is self-explanatory.
Some awesome points of the software include doing
either Conventional Shot Peening or Rotary Flapper Peening,
use of five (5) different Curve Type AMS2597 compliant
algorithms to calculate the Saturation Curve, adding an error
limit to highlight Arc Heights way off the Saturation Curve,
and adding the Intensity Verification tolerance limit which
will automatically tell you if you are within the tolerance limit
(you don’t have to do the math or get your calculator out). You
can also add as many locations as needed to the same file and
view multiple Saturation Curves at once.
