MEMSCAP announced that Nord-Micro GmbH & Co. OHG (Nord-Micro) has selected MEMSCAP to provide pressure transducers for their cabin pressure control systems. Cabin Pressure Control Systems from Nord-Micro provide safety, high reliability, low operating costs, low crew workload and high passenger comfort. Nord-Micro Cabin Pressure Control Systems incorporate intelligent software that provides optimum cabin pressure control based on numerous aircraft parameters. Individually controlled outflow valves can even optimize the ventilation of cabin air based on cabin layout and passenger load. The MEMSCAP product baseline relies on MEMSCAP SP82 sensor technology and on company's proprietary transducers calibration methods. As an offspring of the recent Norwegian R&D funded project, MEMSCAP has developed a new version of its SP82 pressure sensors with important improvements in terms of stability and accuracy. In addition to its former and current collaboration with Nord-Micro with TPS3100 products, MEMSCAP will now supply Nord-Micro a version of its TPS1200 pressure transducer, as well as a new analog output transducer named TP400. These sensors have been designed and qualified to be fully integrated within Nord-Micro Cabin Pressure Control Systems and will be qualified for the use in a major commercial single-aisle aircraft program.
Memscap is the leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing components, modules, systems and solutions based on micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). MEMS combine semiconductor micro-electronics with micro-manufacturing technology to make entire systems contained on one chip. The group organizes its activity around 3 core sectors:
- standard products: integrating the design and manufacture of sensors and multifunctional measurement systems for the areas of medicine, biomedicine, aerospace industry and defense;
- customized products: including the design and manufacture of MEMS components, the intellectual property licenses granting and customers cooperation projects for the custom-made development and production;
- dermo-cosmetic pole: integrating the operations and management of the group's assets related to the areas of dermatology and cosmetology, including the Ioma brand.
