DEEP ROLLING TOOL AND METHOD
Abstract:
An embodiment of a tool assembly includes a hub connected to a distal end of a spring-loaded shaft assembly disposed along a first axis. An upper hub portion is adjacent to the distal end of the spring-loaded shaft assembly aligned with the first axis, and a lower hub portion extends along a second axis, forming a nonzero angle relative to the first axis. A roller disk is joined to the lower portion of the hub, and is rotatable about the second axis parallel to the second portion of the hub. A load cell is disposed along the first axis between a proximal end of the shaft and the roller disk, and is adapted to measure a downward force applied along the shaft assembly.
