Solutions that benefit you

We can design and produce domain-specific keypads for use in industrial, automotive and medical settings, as well as for home appliances. You benefit from input devices that meet exacting standards; by drawing on our interdisciplinary engineering and in-depth market expertise, we can create optimal solutions for you in the following areas.

Membrane keypads » Expand

Robust control elements in a custom design

We can produce membrane keypads in line with your specifications for design, printing and form. Upon request, we can also integrate tactile feedback using metaldome and polydome technology, EMC shielding and LED key illumination. In addition, we supply membrane keypads pre-assembled on mounting plates or combined with customer-specific housings or housing fronts.

Silicone rubber pressure-sensitive mats » Expand

Durable keypads with customisable options

Our customer-specific silicon rubber pressure-sensitive mats combine design options with cost-efficiency. You can choose the colour, the material’s shore hardness and surface coatings. Plastic keycaps and illuminating key symbols can also be integrated. We can supply silicone rubber pressure-sensitive mats together with a circuit board/membrane circuit package as well as customer-specific housings or housing fronts.

Capacitive control » Expand

Ease of use in critical environments

Capacitive control units protect against contamination and promote the best possible hygiene. We create capacitive keypads with various options in relation to function and design. You benefit from customised designs – with either acrylic, membrane or glass surfaces. We can also integrate sliders and wheels for greater ease of use.
