From the real component straight to the optimised robot path:
With the integration of Augmentus Scan-to-Path, theprogramming of automated shot peening processes is being reinvented.
From Geometry Straight to the Shot Peening Process
The future of shot peening automation no longer begins with a time-consuming teach-in.
With Scan-to-Path, the component is first digitally captured. The resulting 3D data forms the basis for automated path planning, which can then be used directly by the PeenBot.
This creates a seamless digital process:
→ automated shot peening process
Complex geometries become manageable – faster, safer and more reproducible.
Programming is a thing of the past. Digitalisation is the way forward.
Traditional robot programming often involves:
- time-consuming manual teach-in
- long machine downtimes
- significant effort required for changes
- limited flexibility when components change
Augmentus Scan-to-Path is revolutionising this process.
The software recognises the component geometry, automatically generates optimised robot movements and enables full simulation even before the first real-world process.
The result:
- Integrate new components more quickly
- Plan processes more reliably
- Make production more efficient
Scan-to-Path Technology
The digital workflow for modern shot peening processes
1. 3D Scan
The component is precisely captured digitally.
↓
2. Automatic Geometry Recognition
The relevant surfaces are identified and prepared for path planning.
↓
3. Intelligent Path Planning
Optimised robot paths are generated automatically.
↓
4. Offline Simulation
Collisions, reach limits and cycle times are checked – before the system goes into operation.
↓
5. PeenBot Integration
The finished program is transferred and executed reproducibly.
