Engineered for Spring Manufacturers
Bronco shot peening equipment is purpose-built for fatigue-life enhancement, deflashing, and repeatable processing requirements common in spring manufacturing and wire-forming operations.
Built Around the Demands of Spring ManufacturinG
Spring manufacturing and wire-forming operations require controlled shot peening conditions, consistent coverage, and equipment configured to accommodate highly variable spring geometries.
Complex Spring
Geometry
Spring manufacturers process parts with varying free lengths, outer diameters, coil spacing, hooks, tangs, and formed wire geometries. These conditions create challenges with part nesting, pinch points, belt damage, and distorted springs during processing.
Bronco configures equipment around spring geometry using application-specific belt sizing, drain-hole geometry, and tighter machine tolerances to minimize pinch points and lodged parts. Integrated kick-plate sensors help stop the machine if springs or wire forms become trapped during processing.
Coverage Control and Fatigue Life
Shot peening is used in spring manufacturing to increase fatigue life by introducing compressive stress into the spring surface. Maintaining correct coverage and intensity is critical, particularly along the inner diameter of compression springs, where failures are common.
Bronco shot peening systems are designed around coverage requirements and specification-driven process conditions. Auto-set abrasive valves help maintain consistent shot velocity and shot volume throughout the process.
Cycle Time and Throughput
Spring manufacturers often run high-volume production environments where cycle time directly affects throughput and operator cost. Longer cycle times slow production and increase labor demands.
Bronco equipment uses high-efficiency wheel technology and auto-set abrasive valves designed to increase throughput and reduce cycle times in high-volume spring manufacturing operations.
BUILD TO BLAST
Why Customers Choose Bronco
Bronco brings deep experience with spring shot peening, fatigue-life enhancement, deburring, deflashing, and specification-driven processing.
Bronco builds shot peening equipment specifically for spring manufacturing and wire forming applications rather than adapting general-purpose blast equipment.
Bronco configures shot peening systems around spring geometry, wire-forming applications, fatigue-life requirements, coverage requirements, and production goals.
