Our partner, A&D Technologies, was chosen by GM to supply the automation system for the test benches in GM’s, state-of-the-art battery testing laboratory. A&D chose e.series test & measurement modules, by Gantner Instruments, for the battery testing system.
Gantner industrial test & measurement, data acquisition modules were selected by A&D to provide the flexibility, reliability, precision and simple handling required by GM with the following key features:
- High Accuracy Distributed I/O
- Up to 24-bit A/D Resolution
- Complete Signal Filtering/Conditioning
- Flexible Digital Measurements
- RS485 Fieldbus Interface – Profibus-DP, Modbus-RTU, ASCII
- Galvanic Isolation
- Robust Design for Industrial Environments
- Temperature Stability at Measurement Range -20°C to +60°C
- Power 10 – 30 VDC

Q.series interface with the Moog Aerospace Test Controller
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.

After 9 years in construction, the stellarator (nuclear-fusion machine) of the Max Planck Institute in Greifswald generated plasma for the first time on December 10, 2015. The reactor had been gradually ramped up over the past 12 months. The event was given extensive coverage in the media. Gantner Instruments specially developed sensors for temperature and strain measurement for the project, which are otherwise unavailable on the market.

The Vasa Museum in Stockholm houses Vasa, a 17th-century Swedish warship raised from the seabed in 1961. Almost completely preserved, she is both a cultural icon and a full-scale research platform for naval architecture, materials science, and maritime archaeology. But preserving a 400-year-old oak hull on land poses a critical structural challenge: without buoyancy, the ship’s weight is carried through discrete support points, and slow deformation has already been detected. To protect Vasa for future generations, the museum is replacing the original display cradle with an adjustable steel support system equipped with a real-time force monitoring and long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) solution.
