  • Since 1989, Progressive Surface has been perfecting quick-change robotic peening systems that support both ferrous and non-ferrous media in the same machine. The machine pictured can switch between two different sizes of ferrous and one size of non-ferrous media instantly, all programmed within the machine’s integrated software. Additional Progressive designs support even more sizes and types, all designed to minimize the chance of cross-contamination. Get the most from your automation investment. Contact us today with your required media types and sizes to receive a technical proposal. ▶️ Learn more: http://bit.ly/4nf9OF1

  • A 2D vision system is a shot peening game-changer as it ensures every part is positioned and oriented correctly before peening even begins. Benefits include greater consistency, fewer mistakes, less scrap, and no expensive rework because a part was loaded the wrong way. Preventing misloads also helps protect the machine itself—avoiding tool crashes, fixture damage, and downtime that can seriously impact efficiency. 2D vision is the smart way to ensure higher quality, fewer headaches, and a more reliable peening process.

  • Maximize the flexibility of your robot spray booth by integrating multiple torches and processes. Plasma guns, ID guns, hi-energy guns, and HVOF can all run in one booth using the same Progressive CITS Pro controller. Custom-designed hardware, software, and robot programming make changeover a breeze. What challenges can CITS Pro solve for you?
