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.
An applicator device for applying a laser shock peening application with a laser on a surface of a workpiece, the application device comprising:
A process for a laser peening application an inner surface of a bore in a workpiece with an applicator device having a frame configured to be mounted to a workpiece, a longitudinal axis extending from a first end of the frame to a second end of the frame, and a moveable pen disposed at one of the ends of the frame, configured to apply a laser, with a longitudinal axis offset from the longitudinal axis of the applicator device, the process comprising the steps of:
