Ipetronik to showcase rugged DAQ solutions for jet engine and hybrid-electric testing
04/08/2025
At this year’s Aerospace Test & Development Show, Ipetronik is spotlighting its high-precision data acquisition (DAQ) systems designed for extreme environments and next-generation aerospace propulsion systems.
Ingo Pletschen, product manager for aerospace, explained the company’s core expertise: “Our specialty in the aerospace world is thermocouple reading, temperature recording with best-in-class accuracy. We offer DAQ hardware that’s engineered to survive and perform in harsh conditions, from -40°C to +125°C, and certified with IP67 protection for water and vibration resistance.”
While Ipetronik serves various industries, its aerospace applications are focused heavily on jet engine testing, both on the ground and in flight. “I’d say around 80% of our aerospace applications are in jet engine testing,” said Pletschen. “The majority of that is ground testing in test cells, and about 20–30% is used in flight test instrumentation – typically for flight test aircraft.”
The team is showcasing smaller DAQ modules this year, aimed at improving test cell efficiency. “These are used more in production and maintenance testing rather than development,” Pletschen said. “The idea is to mount the DAQ systems in the preparation room and move the entire setup into the test cell, just connecting via Ethernet. It saves time and reduces errors.”
One standout feature is technician-friendly usability. “We’ve added colour-coded channel indicators,” Pletschen noted. “This helps technicians immediately recognise whether a channel is configured for type K or type T thermocouples – it’s all about reducing configuration mistakes in fast-paced environments.”
Pletschen added that their systems are also used in urban air mobility (UAM) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) testing. “Our recorders handle not just measurement data but also digital bus systems like ARINC 429 and UAV-specific protocols.”
As for their ongoing participation in the show, Pletschen said: “We always want to stay on top of new challenges, whether that’s hybrid-electric propulsion, hydrogen environments, or even smart thermal management systems. Exhibiting here helps us connect with both existing and new customers in those evolving spaces.”
Joining Pletschen at the event will be Jens Powala, senior marketing manager, and Ipetronik’s French sales manager, Jorge Pires, ensuring a strong technical, commercial, and marketing presence on-site.
