The Spiker®-ES Controlled Pneumatic Needle Peening, for on-aircraft operations and engines mounted
Shockform is the proud inventor and manufacturer (OEM) of the Spiker®-ES.
The only needle peening tool designed to peen hard-to-reach geometries and eliminate the risk of FOD.
The Spiker®-ES has been developed with aero engines manufacturers for repairs directly on the engine with no risk of Foreign Object Damage (FOD). With the Spiker®-ES, peening is performed using tungsten carbide needles and the process parameters are continuously monitored, controlled and recorded. The Spiker®-ES allows the needle peening of complex geometries where flapper peening is usually impossible on engine components but also on aircraft wing, internal structure and on landing gears.
The Spiker®-ES also includes Shockform’s latest innovation: the E-Strip®, a real-time peening intensity measurement device calculating the intensity in seconds, thus saving a huge amount of time. The E-Strip® offers a more reliable feature for your peening activities and it is also meant to replace single use Almen strips, making needle peening with the Spiker®-ES more eco-friendly and green.
The Spiker®-ES has the following features:
Process Advantages:
- Fast and Effective Repair Peening
- Reliable and Repeatable
- Peening intensity measurement in real time
- Minimal Risk of Foreign Object Damage (FOD)
- Very Smooth Surface Finish
- Deep Surface Residual Stresses
- Fatigue Life that is equivalent and often much better than conventional technique
- Easy application on aero-engine components with significant cost saving potential.
Equipment Advantages:
- Certified AMS 2545, Nadcap 7117/6, J441, J442, J443, J2597
- Small Head for Hard-to-Reach Areas
- Each Needle Tracked Individually
- User Friendly Color Interface
- Process Data Saved to USB key
- Easy to Print Report
- Everything included in one Small Case.
AVAILABLE KITS
SPIKER®-ES (SPK-105)
The Spiker®-ES SPK-105 kit includes all the components of the SPK-104 kit plus a second handpiece.
SPIKER®-ES (SPK-104)
The Spiker®-ES SPK-104 kit includes all the components of the SPK-102 kit plus an Almen Gage TSP3B (FPG-1000), 100 Almen strips (A-1), a magnetic holder (FPM-1000) and an extra set of caps (SPK-LH4-3CK).
It features a large and robust color touch screen user interface with an integrated stopwatch and countdown timer and a saturation curve solver for intensity calculations. It offers the choice of multiple languages and measurement units, USB data recording of process parameters and a 25 feet cable (SPK-CA) between the handpiece and the controller. The handpiece has a small and powerful linear head with 4 needles and 3 interchangeable caps (SPK-LH4-3CK) to peen on flat surfaces, inner radii and outer radii.
The unit also comes with a 10X Magnifier (MAG-10X), a USB key (PRO-044), an electrical power cord (PRO-018), an air filter (SPK-065), Allen keys (SPK-060-AK1.5 and SPK-060-AK1.3) a Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST, Certificates of Conformance and a User Manual.
