Electronics Inc. (EI) is a recognised player in its technology field. Kronos Engineering, as an independent special-processes expert, brings a neutral perspective on these solutions — audit, benchmarking, multi-technology integration. With no commercial bias toward any brand, we steer you to the technology that genuinely fits your use case.
Kronos Engineering does not distribute Electronics Inc. (EI) equipment. Our expertise lies in special processes and their qualification — this neutrality is our guarantee of technical objectivity: we recommend what is genuinely best for your part, your standard, your production volume.
Context and positioning
Electronics Inc. (EI, based in Indiana USA) is the worldwide reference for Almen strips, gauges and peening monitoring systems (MagnaValve). Every AMS 2430-qualified shot peening installation uses Almen strips — almost always EI.
Kronos Engineering integrates these measurement instruments daily for intensity control and brings its process expertise to MagnaValve-equipped cells. Our value covers measurement-chain calibration, system audits and operator training on Almen use.
Typical operations
Almen bowing (A / C / N), arc-height measurement, traceability — used in production, MRO and audit.
Calibration check of the media-flow measurement system and consistency with AMS 2430 specification.
Full audit of the Almen + MagnaValve + metrology chain for NADCAP Heat Treatment files.
Theory module (origin of Almen, arc-height principle, batch-to-batch) + practice (bowing, measurement, interpretation).
Why Kronos on Electronics Inc. (EI)
Almen / peening-monitoring process expertise. Almen strips and MagnaValve are daily tools for us, not catalog products. We know their pitfalls.
Full measurement-chain audit. Almen + gauge + master + batch traceability — few players audit this chain end to end.
Tech Rep for instrumented cells. Process expert able to embed in your MRO during the ramp-up period.
