Keyboards : the best man-machine interface

  • Reactivity
  • Quality
  • From the prototype to mass production
  • Low cost equipment (digital cutting)
  • Membrane keyboard
    • o flat o with tactile domes or snap discs o with or without embossing o with integrated LEDs o with electroluminescent areas
  • Rigid keyboard
    • o they substitute the front panel o can include electronics on the back side o with tactile domes or snap discs o with or without embossing o with integrated LEDs o with electroluminescent areas
  • Active keyboard :
    • o rigid type o low number of connections o connection with board to board bus or with communication bus (CAN I2C and industrial buses) o can include electronics on the back side
Adapted materials
  • Polycarbonate (good transparency, behaviour not so good during embossing time)
  • Polyester (flexible, good resistance to chemical agents, ideal for thermoforming)
  • Polyurethane (flexible and with good resistance to chemical agents) except for keyboards with tactile domes.
Automatic placing of components
  • Placing of snap discs
  • Placing of a range of ultra flat LEDs and of all kinds of SMC components (Surface Mount Components)
  • Adaptable, deals well with both small and big series.
Keyboard test and control
  • ISO9001 :2000 certified process
  • Single unit electric control and test
  • Endurance test on request
Setting
  • Set male or female contacts, golden or tinned
  • Wide range of cases with or without locking mechanism
  • Making of jumper flexible cables depending on client’s specifications
Thermoforming
  • Patented machine, designed for keyboard thermoforming
  • Most tools made in-house (reactivity and cost reduction)
  • All types of embossing such as domes, pincushions, finger-guides…
Research office
  • R&D service for the integration of new technologies in keyboards
  • Electronic research office for the development of all or part of integrated electronics
  • Mechanic and design research office for the development of graphic front panels
