Aerospace
Our products are well-suited for testing in aerospace engineering applications to accurately and efficiently evaluate the performance, reliability, and safety of aerospace structures and components, such as aircraft engines and structures and space engines and structures. This would include the ability to measure and collect data, analyze the results, and provide them in a useful format for decision making.
Our products meet the rigorous standards and requirements set by regulatory bodies such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for aerospace and space testing, and our products are able to withstand harsh environmental conditions and provide accurate and reliable results, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of aerospace and space systems.
Gantner provides reliable and accurate data that can be used to improve engine performance and increase efficiency. A DAQ system can measure a wide range of signals, including temperature, pressure, flow, vibration, and acceleration, and can be used to track engine performance and diagnose problems. Additionally, a DAQ system can be used to create an accurate record of engine performance and help identify any potential issues or maintenance needs.
Gantner’s DAQ system collects data from strain gages, accelerometers, and pressure sensors to measure the response of a structure to various loads and conditions. It can also provide real-time feedback for quick and accurate analysis of test results.
Gantner’s DAQ system integrates a range of sensors, such as pressure sensors, accelerometers, and thermometers, to measure various parameters. It can also provide data logging and analysis capabilities, and is designed to be rugged and reliable for Aerospace testing.
Gantner’s DAQ system accurately measures and records temperature, pressure, humidity, vibration, and other environmental metrics. It can also provide real-time alerts and alarms, allowing for quick and accurate responses to environmental changes.
Gantner’s DAQ system provides accurate and reliable data acquisition, measuring temperature, pressure, acceleration, and more. It can also be used to monitor and control the aircraft’s systems for testing with greater safety and precision, and can be programmed to log data over long periods of time for detailed analysis.
Aerospace Engine Testing
Perform ground testing on engines not yet installed on aircraft (including component testing, bench testing, and altitude testing) and flight testing of aerospace engines to evaluate their performance, reliability, and safety.
Aerospace Structural Testing
Evaluates the strength, stiffness, and durability of the structures that make up an aircraft, such as the fuselage, wings, and tail. Aerospace structural testing can include static testing, fatigue testing, environmental testing, damage tolerance testing, and flutter testing.
System Integration Testing
Verifies that all the subsystems of an aircraft or spacecraft work together as intended, including testing the integration of avionics systems, propulsion systems, navigation systems, and other subsystems. The testing can be done through physical testing on a prototype or simulated environments, or it can include testing of the software and hardware of the aircraft/spacecraft.
Space Testing
Space testing verifies that spacecraft, satellites, payloads, and launch systems can withstand the mechanical, thermal, and vacuum conditions encountered during launch and throughout their mission, ensuring performance, reliability, and mission readiness.
Environmental Testing
Testing aircraft components, systems, and materials in order to ensure they can withstand the environmental conditions they will experience during flight. This includes evaluating their tolerance to extreme temperatures, pressure, humidity, radiation, and other environmental conditions. Testing aircraft components and systems in ensures reliablity and safe operation.
Why Gantner Instruments
Modular Systems Design
One controller carries up to 64 I/O modules, and the same modules run in every enclosure — Q.bloxx, Q.brixx, Q.raxx. Development, production, and overhaul testing share one measurement platform, so you keep one spare parts pool and train your team once.
High-Accuracy Thermocouple Measurement
Temperature is the single most important measurement to determine aero-engine performance. Triple galvanic isolation up to 1,500 V keeps every channel separated from the next and from the test rig, so ground loops and common-mode voltages do not reach your temperature reading.
Fully Configurable Data Loggers
Engine testing generates data at very different rates. Up to 20 independent data loggers run in parallel, each with its own channel set and its own sample rate — continuous, triggered, snapshot, or peak-valley. You store what the analysis needs, not everything the rig produces.
Assured Data Availability
A lost test run costs more than the measurement system. Q.series X runs without a host PC, with three levels of redundancy and HOT SWAP during operation.
Direct Data Distribution Service (DDS) integration
DDS, iDDS, OPC UA, EtherCAT, and open APIs make Q.series X easy to integrate into any SCADA system. Modern publish subscribe protocols let it join your existing test bench without replacing your software.
Shaft Speed from Idle to 30,000 rpm
Rotational speed is measured from a few rpm up to 30,000 rpm with the Chronos method, on the same platform and the same time base as pressure, strain, and temperature. No separate speed acquisition to synchronize afterwards.
Who trusts Gantner for System Integration Testing?
What our clients say
Our Colossus Static Fire Test System (SFS) can't be complete without its brain – a DAQ system generously provided by our sponsor, Gantner Instruments.
SEDS UC San Diego 
With the Q.series, we have found a modular solution for our measurement technology needs. This allows us to use a common data acquisition system for Production and R&D. The wide range of modules available and the various modules that can be combined in one application allow us to always find a solution adapted to our needs.
Safran Helicopter Engines 
With the new Gantner solution, we will have the most modern, flexible, and accurate system to fulfill our needs. I want to congratulate Gantner Instruments for winning this project.
