A system for performing a laser peening application on a workpiece. A purge system is included with the system to provide a compartment housing combustion sources with compressed air so that the compartment has an increased air pressure. Also, a method of operating the system in which power is provided to the system, but only the purge system operates initially. Only after the purge system has bene operating, are the other subsystems and components of the systems, like the laser, provided with operational power.

Laser shock peening apparatus

A system and device for laser shock peening device and components thereof. The system includes umbilical cords with flexible outer sheaths surrounding the fiber optic cable within the umbilical. The umbilical may include two different sections with different outer sheathes. The applicator device may have a laser peeing pen that has a longitudinal axis that is spaced from the longitudinal axis of the applicator device. In a method of operating the device, a first step includes a vertical movement, followed by a second step of rotation movement, and then another step of vertical movement opposite the first step.
