Acal BFi has signed a new pan-European distribution agreement with Tronics Microsystems Acal BFi will be exclusively distributing Tronics Microsystems GYPRO high performance MEMS inertial sensors to the European markets. Tronics Microsystems is an independent European supplier of high performance inertial products.

The introduction of Bristol Instruments’ 828B Optical Wavelength Meter by Acal BFi provides reliable accuracy at a rate that is claimed to be 100 times faster than any other system available. The instrument measures the absolute wavelength of WDM lasers to an accuracy of ± 1pm.

The new ABP series of basic amplified board mount pressure sensors from Honeywell have been launched on to the European market by Acal BFi. Boasting high performance and reliability in a compact package, the sensor series provides the industry’s smallest, compensated, amplified pressure sensor in its class at 8mm x 7mm x 3mm.

Acal BFi have designed-in the Nano Hornet module from OriginGPS into the world’s first smartphone controlled gaming drone line by TobyRich. By working with Acal BFi to integrate the Nano Hornet, TobyRich was able to design a smaller, sleeker form factor for its innovative drones while extending the range and enhancing directional capabilities.

Claimed to be the world’s smallest GPS module, the NanoSpider from OriginGPS is now being made avauilable in Europe by distributor Acal BFi. The NanoSpider is a fully integrated, highly sensitive GPS receiver module. Measuring 4.1 x 4.1 x 2.1mm and with minimal power consumption, it is ideal for smart watches, wearable devices, trackers, and digital cameras.

Acal BFI has completed a new European distribution agreement with PixeLINK, to include UK, Ireland, Germany, Benelux, Italy, Spain and the Nordic region. PixeLINK develops and manufactures of off-the-shelf, OEM, and custom industrial imaging solutions.

Acal BFi and SynQor have signed a channel partner agreement in Europe to include UK, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg and Italy. SynQor is a supplier of high-efficiency, high-reliability power conversion solutions, designing, engineering and manufacturing all of its products in the USA.

Acal BFi is bringing the new BME280 integrated Environmental Unit from Bosch Sensortec to the European market. Combining three sensors in one miniature package – humidity, pressure and temperature, the unique sensor has a response time of less than a second for humidity determination, excellent ambient temperature measurement and low energy consumption.

An all-in-one thermal camera module has been released by Acal BFi. Alongside a 35-105mm 3x zoom lens, the ICC-TM640-105HZ features the Tamarisk 640 high performance, uncooled, thermal camera core from DRS Technologies. The device, which is based on a 640x480, 17µm pitch, uncooled LWIR sensor, delivers simultaneous Camera Link digital and analogue PAL at 9 or 25Hz. 

Acal BFi has helped RS Components develop its latest electrostatic discharge control programme. To demonstrate its commitment to ESD control, RS maintains certification to ANSI/ESD S20.20, a standard developed by the ESD Association to satisfy the global need in the electronics industry for technically sound ESD control programmes.

New to the European market, and available from Acal BFi, is the BNO055 9-axis sensor fusion from Bosch Sensortec. Providing three sensors in one miniature package – giro, accelerometer and tilt, the sensor meets applications in navigation, augmented reality, robotics, gaming, context awareness and fitness and wellbeing.

Acal BFi has extended its pan-European relationship with Sangshin Elecom to include the company’s miniature range of resistive and capacitive humidity sensors. Sangshin’s miniature humidity sensors combine exceptional accuracy and high quality with excellent value and can be used for a wide range of applications, including HVAC, medical, industrial, building and clean room uses.

Acal BFi, has designed a portfolio of long-range thermal imaging modules, which offer an optimum solution for high-quality, flexible and affordable imaging. The range of high performance, uncooled thermal imaging modules can be quickly integrated with almost any thermal lens type (Athermal, Wide Field Of View, Narrow Field of View or Continuous Zoom) and are fully calibrated and tested at Acal BFi’s ICC (Imaging Competence Centre) Central l...

The European photonics, lighting and display markets are targets for a range of light directing and brightness enhancing films from Luminit. The Directional Turning Film (DTF) transforms an image from a flat panel display to a display with an optimum viewing angle by using a linear asymmetrical prismatic structure to angle the image 20 degrees in any direction.

Acal BFi has today announced the appointment of Marc Lafferty as Managing Director of Acal BFi UK. In addition to a Masters Degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Business Administration, Lafferty brings many years of hands-on experience in engineering as well as in sales and marketing for international electronics and engineering companies.
