High-precision, Scalable DAQ system for Mechanical and Structural Testing

The QuantumX family is a high-precision, scalable data acquisition platform allowing you to acquire true multi-physics test specimen information based on measuring strain, force, acceleration, torque, pressure, displacement, temperature, voltage, electric current, rotating speed, position and much more.

This multi-channel, universal DAQ system is ideal for a variety of applications.  When combined with HBK sensors and catman software, you have a complete measurement and testing solution.

Versatile applications

  • Lab and bench testing
    • Structural durability testing
    • Powertrain, engine, drivetrain testing in dynos
    • Mechanical and electric system and component testing
    • Aerodynamics analysis / wind tunnel testing
  • Mobile data acquisition
    • Mobile acquisition of load on mechanical components on bad roads or track
    • Testing of vehicle dynamics (ride and handling)
    • Brake or acceptance tests
    • Overall vehicle or track monitoring
  • Aircraft testing
    • Structural durability testing / Fatigue testing
    • Propulsion testing (thrust, performance, durability)
    • Iron bird testing
    • Impact testing: drop and impact testing (bird, drone)
    • Center of gravity analysis
  • Electric drives and energy storage
    • Dyno testing
    • Energy storage/ battery testing
  • Service and maintenance
    • Machine calibration
    • Fault-investigation and diagnostics

Every module is a DAQ system allowing you to perform stand-alone recordings. Alternatively, you can scale up and create a distributed system with other QuantumX modules. System integration with test benches and third-party software can occur in real time via the module’s backplane.

Did you know? You can also connect Tescia data acquisition software to your QuantumX module via the MX Assistant utility? For step-by-step instructions, see Tescia’s Integration with QuantumX hardware getting started video.

A Reliable Measurement Chain

The highly precise, universal, and reliable data acquisition system QuantumX can be combined perfectly with HBM's sensors and the catman software to have a complete measurement and testing solution. From the sensor to the software: simply "plug and measure".

Customer Stories & Testimonials

Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Company, and HBM have concluded the Operational Readiness Review (ORR) for the new GEN6 Data Acquisition System, which will now officially go into operation.

Based on the QuantumX universal and distributable data acquisition system from HBM and developed in close cooperation with the customer, the new GEN6 Data Acquisition System will empower Sikorsky's Laboratories with new capabilities for data acquisition, handling, and storage.

"We had narrowed down our selection process to four measuring amplifier systems. Then QuantumX from HBM won us over in the practical test, especially with its extremely low measurement uncertainty."

Bruno Kanzenbach, Senior Engineer at Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG).

“We selected QuantumX because we could plug anything into it quite easily and it has an excellent recording capacity both in terms of the recording span and the rate”.

Matt Williams, Senior Structural Test Engineer at Agusta Westland

Modular Concept

  • Connect a single module to your PC and start working

  • Distribute several modules and install them close to your measurement spots and sensor

  • Scale several hundred channels in a centralized way for high channel density

  • Use the powerful data recorder for your autonomous mobile test and integrate into the cloud

  • Integrate in real-time in automated bench testing

  • Design your own test with signal stimulation in real-time

  • Integrate any sensor and transfer its digital value to CAN or analog voltage output (gateway).
