Intelligent Solutions for
Measurement and Test Automation
Since its founding in 1982, Gantner Instruments has been a specialist for distributed measuring and
I/O systems and is the specialist for the measurement of mechanical, thermal and electrical quantities. Our
know-how is reflected in all our products and in the associated services. Despite their outstanding performance
and flexibility, they remain simple in operation and clear in evaluation even in complex applications.
High precision, fail-safe operation, excellent resistance to temperature and EMC influences and a sturdy
design for operation in tough environments are characteristics typical of all Gantner products. Our products
have an average MTBF (mean time between failure) of more than 20 years.
A further feature of all Gantner products is their outstanding price/performance ratio. Nowhere else do you
get so much value for your investment, because you get not only a first-class product, but also a future-safe
concept that is very flexible and expandable thanks to the logical modular construction.
Gantner Instruments sees itself as a partner for its customers and is always ready to help you, whether through
extensive and comprehensive advice before the purchase, practical help with the installation or through
unbureaucratic and flexible after-sales service. And for special cases we will always find an individual solution
for your application.

Traditional and Innovative – Local and Global
1982
2000
Founding of the subsidiary in Darmstadt,
Germany.
1982
Professor Wilhelm Gantner founds
Gantner Electronic in Vorarlberg, Austria
on the basis of his developments in the
field of microelectronics.
2004
The Instrumentation business area is
spun off from Gantner Instruments and
moves to separate premises in 2006.
2008
A subsidiary is founded in Chennai, India.
2010
Gantner Instruments
Environment Solu-
tions is founded in
Zwönitz, Germany.
The aim here is to
bundle environ-
mental measuring
technology and
data logging.
Gantner concentrates
from the very outset on the
decentralised measurement
of process parameters.
In 1988 Gantner presents
the first measuring module
with full-scale Profibus DP.
2000
The new e.series
product range is presented
and finds very broad
acceptance in measuring
and testing technology.
1990–1995
The new ISM Series is
presented. The IDL data
loggers are used even today
for sophisticated long-term
monitoring applications.
Dependability, stability and
precision are their main
characteristics.

Products and Solutions – 30 Years of Innovation
2013
2012
Founding of Gantner Instruments China Ltd.
and Gantner Instruments SEA Singapore.
2013
Founding of Gantner Instruments France
in Paris.
2013
Founding of Gantner Instrument Nordic
in Stockholm.
2010
Gantner Instruments and the US
partner establish a joint venture,
Gantner Instruments Inc.
2004
Apart from decentralised measurement technology,
the company also offers 19“systems.
Gantner becomes market leader for measurement
data acquisition on engine test stands.
2009
Q.series – the new generation
of measuring systems up to
100 kHz – is presented.
Gantner offers one of the
first systems with EtherCAT
interface.
2012
High-performance
controllers and variable
housing concepts expand
the wide variety of
potential applications.

“With the Q.series we
have found a modular
solution for our mea-
surement technology
needs. This allows us
to use a common data
acquisition system for
Production and for
Research & Develop-
ment. The wide range
of modules available
and the various forms
that can be combined
in one application
allow us to always find
a solution adapted to
our needs,“
explains the project
manager at Turbomeca.

Engine Testing
Test stands for
helicopter
turboprop drives
Precise acquisition
of all measurement
parameters
Optimised performance, lower fuel consumption, longer
service life and reduced weight – those are the driving
forces for any engine developer. When testing engines
and aggregates, the user makes high demands on the
measuring and I/O technology.
World market leader in
the instrumentation of
engine test stands
7
“We use the modular
measuring system from
Gantner Instruments
because the communi-
cation with KSB‘s own
test software via CVI
driver and the parallel
data exchange with the
Siemens automation
system via Profibus DP
functions outstand-
ingly. The hardware is
very dependable and
very well suited to
operation under rough
test bed conditions.
Furthermore, for us as a
company with global
operations, the inter-
national presence of
Gantner Instruments is
very important.“
Dr. Makiola, KSB AG

Component Testing
Precise temperature
measurement during
the development and
testing of air condi-
tioning components
for motor vehicles
Research test bed
E-mobility battery test laboratory
All manufacturers on the market have a vital interest
in supplying the promised functions and qualities.
The service life of their products has to meet the
expectations of their customers, but also satisfy the
standards and statutory regulations. The monitoring of
the compliance with specifications under mechanical
and/or thermal load is an area of testing technology in
which we have specialised with our products and services.
9
The Gantner system is designed
to comply with IEC-61400-13
(Measuring Mechanical Loads on
Wind Turbines)
Unstruttal Bridge –
monitoring during the
construction phase
“We have had only
good experience using
measuring modules
from Gantner Instru-
ments. The special
demands on measuring
systems for wind gener-
ators were fully satis-
fied. Everything worked
smoothly, from the sig-
nal acquisition through
to the secure saving of
the data on a server.
Particularly important,
however, is the decen-
tralised arrangement,
the sturdiness, the sta-
bility and the very short
commissioning times.
Here in Asia we have a
very large number of
measuring modules in
operation.“
Sei Jong Chio, President
Nicom International,
Korea

Structure Monitoring
Five abutments of the
Viaduc de Millau are
equipped with a remote
measuring system
Dam Monitoring
at Lüner See
Large constructions have to be temporarily or permanently
monitored due to material fatigue and external influences.
With our products we offer intelligent solutions for recording
measuring signals dynamically or at intervals of several hours,
for storing the data on mass storage device or transmitting
them directly. The low power consumption of the devices
permits simple operation in the field.

The monitoring of production and assembly processes
serves to ensure a consistently high product quality.
Our products here measure and evaluate process,
production and quality-relevant parameters. For this
they are used in production machines as OEM products,
integrated into assembly lines by system integrators and
installed directly in the production line.
“Gantner Instruments
was a perfect partner
during all phases of the
project. Starting from
the concept planning
through to the dam
operation.“
