Abstract
A laser shock processing apparatus with controller for controlling laser shock processing operation. The controller generates an operator perceivable alert when a processing value is not within a predetermined range of a preset value. The controller may adjust the processing value to be within the predetermined range or may deactivate a laser from directing a beam of coherent energy to a workpiece. In one embodiment, a plurality of controllers comprise distributed processing of various processing values for controlling laser shock processing operation.
