Changing demands within Automotive Testing – Webinar

Turbomeca is a french manufacturer of com­pres­sors and turbines for the aviation industry, among its customers Eurocopter, Augusta und Sikorsky. For the test and measurement design of future test stands were the products from four manufacturers tested, and the companies rated on quality in production, and in all functional processes. Turbomeca selects Gantner Instruments GmbH as manufac­turer and accredited according to strict rules. Gantner Instruments is exclusively represented by BGP Electronic in France.

The amount of data generated in an aircraft structural test program continues to grow. The density of load introduction points (actuators) and sensors (strain gauges, thermocouples, LVDTs) on a test article is increasing progressively and model validation requires higher data sample rates to capture more detail. The risks and costs involved in aircraft validation and certification are significant, and the requirement for quick entry-into-service is high. To minimize the impact of retrofitting in-service aircrafts, the ability to generate test results quickly is crucial to the success of a test program.

A growing range of industries are adopting electrolyzers and fuel cell technology to be part of the decarbonization deal in their production processes. When variable renewable energy (VRE) generation is increasingly curtailed, this cheap and clean energy has to be carefully controlled and measured to be used with electrolyzers to create green hydrogen, driving sustainable processes and manufacturing of bulk materials like steel or ammonia .

Gantner Instruments expanded the A12x module lineup with Plus versions (e.g., Q.series X A128 Plus SEB) that feature an increase in their voltage capacity up to 1500V, meeting the evolving demands of industries that require higher voltage limits for testing and measurement. Let's delve deeper into the enhanced capabilities of the A12x module lineup and how they empower engineers across various industries.
