About sentenso
sentenso GmbH, based in Datteln, specializes in shot peening technology and offers solutions for process and quality management in shot peening. The portfolio includes vector:on media velocity management, flux:on media flow management with FlowX flow sensors, and MagnaValve 600-series media metering devices. With its in-house PeenBot robotic peening systems, sentenso builds highly automated air blasting systems with robot-guided lances. In its own technology center in Datteln, peening processes are simulated and optimized (PeenLean); in the measurement laboratory, residual stresses and retained austenite are determined by X-ray diffraction (Pulstec µ-X360J). The company also supports customers in digitizing process and quality data and conducts training courses and workshops on shot peening technology, with a focus on the aerospace and automotive industries.

Processes and Technologies
PeenLean – Peening Process Optimization
Investigation of existing peening processes for optimization potential using longlife peening media to reduce consumption and downstream costs.
vector:on Media Speed Management
Automated measuring, setting and checking of shot media velocity within tight tolerances in air blasting.
flux:on Media Flow Management
Management of shot media flow rate with FlowX flow sensors for reliable process parameters.
X-ray Diffraction
Determination of residual stresses and retained austenite for quality assurance of peened components.
Process Simulation in the Technology Center
Simulation of peening parameter variants without interrupting the customer's production.
