Shot Peening Profile Dialog Box

The Shot peening profile dialog box provides options for defining a shot peening profile.

To access the dialog box, select Shot peening profile and select a robot.

This page discusses:

General

Name
The name of the current profile.
Index
You can optionally enter an index number for the current profile for use with Robot Programming. Positive integer values or zero are valid.

By default, this value is unset.

Shot peening tab

Beam color
Defines the color of the shot peening beam.
Beam state
Determines if the beam is active during simulation.
Simulation parameters
Beam Range
Beam Flow Rate
Simulation current mass flow rate of peening shot in the beam.
Beam Flow Pressure
Simulation current air pressure driving the peening shot in the beem.
Approach inclination
Percentage of sprayed paint solids that will adhere to the surface.
98% Coverage time
Exposure time that implies 98% surface coverage.

Position tab

From
The tool profile from which the position and orientation of the peening tool is relative to.

By default, the position and orientation is relative to the mount port.

Coordinates
X
The X offset of the peening tool from the selected tool profile.
Y
The Y offset of the peening tool from the selected tool profile.
Z
The Z offset of the peening tool from the selected tool profile.
Yaw
The yaw offset of the peening tool from the selected tool profile.
Pitch
The pitch offset of the peening tool from the selected tool profile.
Roll
The roll offset of the peening tool from the selected tool profile.

Calibration tab

Parameters
Shot material
Type of shot material used with this peening tool.
Shot diameter
Diameter of shot used with this peening tool.
Almen Strip Type
Almen strip type used during the calibration test.
Test beam height
Beam height used during the Almen calibration test.
Test beam width
Beam width used during the Almen calibration test.
Test beam inclination
Beam width used during the Almen calibration test.
Test mass flow rate
Mass flow rate of peening shot used during the Almen calibration test.
Test air pressure flow
Air pressure flow driving the peening shot used during the Almen calibration test.
Test coverage speed
Robot TCP speed that results in 98% surface coverage during the Almen calibration test.
Spray delay ON
Time delay when the spray is turned on.
Spray delay OFF
Time delay when the spray is turned off.
Table data
Intensity
Measured intensity with respect to tool speed.
Inclination
Approach inclination with respect to flow pressure.
Add values
Add a set of values.
Delete values
Deletes a set of values.
Import values
Imports a set of values.
Export values
Exports a set of values.
