About JENTEK Sensors, Inc.
JENTEK Sensors, Inc. was founded in 1992 to address the need for enhanced life management of high-value assets (pipelines, refineries, aircraft, rotorcraft, spacecraft, ships, power plants) and for quality assessment and control of high value-added processes (coating, welding, heat treatment, shot peening).
JENTEK’s GridStation® products, together with our MWM®-Array eddy-current sensors are now U.S. military and commercial OEM standard practice for inspection of engine and other critical components. This includes FAA approval for the technical aspects of a recent commercial engine application and successful implementations for demanding applications such as the Space Shuttle leading edge composite and military aircraft engine disk slots. Our patented technologies and products offer unique, cost-effective solutions to address critical and challenging customer needs. Application focus areas include:
Nondestructive Testing (NDT) for
- Oil & Gas Infrastructure
- Aircraft Engines and Land-based Turbines
- Composites and Metal Structures
Surface Mounted and Embedded Sensors and Sensor Networks for
- Fatigue Crack Detection and Growth Monitoring
- Stress Corrosion Crack Detection and Growth Monitoring
- Corrosion (internal and external wall loss) Detection and Monitoring
- Magnetic Torque and Stress Sensors (including non-contact torque/bending load sensing for rotating shafts)
JENTEK is now a growing commercial enterprise with competitive and proven products. We have delivered numerous fully-integrated systems and solutions to the aerospace, defense, energy, manufacturing, and consumer products industries.
Customers who have purchased our systems include Fortune 500 companies, the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Army, NASA and FAA, as well as first-tier prime contractors, several foreign military services, and international systems integrators. Our customers’ use of these systems has generated savings of hundreds of millions of dollars. We continue to provide practical solutions to difficult problems that could not be addressed adequately by conventional eddy current testing (ET) methods. Now, we also offer superior solutions to common applications such as bolt-hole inspection, at competitive prices.
JENTEK’s products–comprised of our leading edge sensor technologies, our breakthrough GridStation decision support software and our high-performance parallel architecture instrumentation–are portable and user-friendly. Our focus is on solutions that deliver substantial near-term cost savings, significant long-term return on investment, readiness/yield enhancement, and functional performance improvements.
JENTEK is built around a core of dedicated engineers, many of whom earned Ph.D.s from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Laboratory for Electromagnetics and Electronic Systems (LEES). Our team brings together cutting edge engineering practice and scientific understanding (that we call Engineering-Science) and a passion for solving real world problems to create the unique JENTEK line of products. But our efforts don’t end with outstanding products. Instead, we work with each customer to make sure the JENTEK solutions meet their needs. The result is innovative, practical, cost-effective solutions, each one backed by dedicated individuals and a growing organization committed to customer success.
Our products and approach have been recognized with high-profile awards. JENTEK received the Navy’s Outstanding Phase III Transition Award after successful delivery of several high Return-on-Investment solutions to U.S. Navy Depots, the FAA/Air Transport Association “Better Way” Award for engine component inspection technology and the National Tibbetts Award in recognition of outstanding contributions to the Small Business Innovation and Research program.We also received the ASNT “Best Paper Award” for our innovative surface mounted/embedded fatigue sensors.
We look forward to solving your most challenging–as well as your every day–NDT problems with solutions that not only save you and your customers money, but also improve the reliability, yield and readiness of your products/processes and fleets.
