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 refl ected in all our products and in the associated services. Despite their outstanding performance
and fl exibility, they remain simple in operation and clear in evaluation even in complex applications.
High precision, fail-safe operation, excellent resistance to temperature and EMC infl uences 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 fi rst-class product, but also a future-safe
concept that is very fl exible 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 fl exible after-sales service. And for special cases we will always fi nd an individual solution
for your application.
Company certifi ed to ISO 9001

Traditional and Innovative – Local and Global
1982
2000Founding of the subsidiary in Darmstadt, Germany.
1982Professor Wilhelm Gantner founds Gantner Electronic in Vorarlberg, Austria on the basis of his developments in the fi eld of microelectronics. 2004
The Instrumentation business area is spun off from Gantner Instruments and moves to separate premises in 2006.
2008A subsidiary is founded in Chennai, India.
2010Gantner 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 presentsthe first measuring module with full-scale Profibus DP.
2000 The new e.series product range is presented and fi nds 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.
2010Gantner 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.

Products and Solutions – 30 Years of Innovation
“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 fi nd
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

“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 Profi bus 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 specifi cations under mechanical
and/or thermal load is an area of testing technology in
which we have specialised with our products and services.

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-
fi ed. 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 infl uences.
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 fi eld.

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.“
Alexander Stergiotis, Vorarlberger Illwerke AG
