Abstract:  
USF Vacu-Blast has developed a variant of its proven "Ventus 150 AXT" automatic cabinet machine, specifically for the controlled steel shot, glass or ceramic bead peening of blade aerofoils and similar parts from aeroengines and other gas trubines, for fatigue life enhancement. It can also be used for precision abrasive blasting applications requiring the selective processing of complex components.
