Other Surface Coating & Finishing Options:
-
Anti-Fingerprint / Oleophobic Coating: Provides a smooth, matte finish that repels oils, skin residues, and fingerprints, maintaining a clean, professional appearance on frequently touched instrument panels.
-
Chemical-Resistant Top Coat: Adds an extra layer of protection against aggressive solvents, disinfectants, and cleaning agents commonly used in laboratory, medical, and industrial settings.
-
Texture Spray for Enhanced Grip: Applied to create a micro-textured surface, improving usability for operators wearing gloves or in high-moisture environments.
-
Laser-Etched Legends with Backlighting: Precision laser etching through opaque or translucent silicone layers creates crisp, permanent legends ideal for backlit displays, ensuring excellent readability in low-light conditions.
Key Benefits of Our Instrument-Grade Silicone Keypads:
-
Precision Engineering for Consistent Tactile Performance: Utilizing advanced LSR injection and compression molding with multi-step curing, we guarantee exacting dimensional accuracy, uniform actuation force, and a consistent tactile “snap” across every key—critical for operator precision and reduced fatigue.
-
Robust Sealing & Exceptional Environmental Resistance: Our keypads are designed as sealed, monolithic membranes or with integrated gaskets, achieving high IP ratings (up to IP68). They are inherently resistant to moisture, dust, UV exposure, and a wide range of chemicals, ensuring reliable operation in demanding conditions.
-
Integrated Conductive Solutions & Reliability: We offer embedded conductive carbon pills, gold-plated dome contacts, or PCB-less metal dome arrays. These solutions provide ultra-low contact resistance, exceptional bounce characteristics, and a lifespan exceeding 1 million cycles for unwavering electrical reliability.
-
Full-Service Customization for Technical Apparatus: We partner with you from concept to integration, offering complete customization of layout, graphic overlays, EMB sealing frames, and electrical characteristics. Our OEM service ensures the keypad is a perfect functional and ergonomic match for your specific instrument.
Factory Overview:
Our facility specializes in high-precision components for technical applications. We house dedicated cleanrooms for medical and instrument-grade keypad production, equipped with automated LSR injection molding cells and precision compression presses. In-house mold fabrication utilizes CNC, Mirror EDM, and precision grinding to achieve micron-level tolerances for crisp legends and consistent key geometry. Our QC lab is outfitted with specialized instrumentation, including life-cycle testers (exceeding 5 million actuations), environmental chambers for thermal cycling, contact resistance analyzers, and high-magnification optical comparators. This controlled, vertically integrated environment ensures the manufacture of keypads that meet the rigorous performance and durability standards of professional and industrial apparatus.
