Custom Keyboards and Data Input Devices Custom Keyboards with their specific requirements, demand the most exacting standards of design and manufacture. InduKey offers a rapid cost effective service if the standard range does not cover your requirement.
Foil covered Short Travel Keyboards These keyboards are equipped with high-quality short travel keys behind a metal front panel. Custom front foils and legends available on request. The front panel is covered with a protective and printed polyester-foil. When mounted correctly the front is sealed to IP65 standards. The short travel keys offer a good tactile feedback for the user. Short travel keys have a very long life time. They are available in different sizes and actuation forces and key travel is normally around 0,3 mm.
Dome Switch Keyboards Our Dome-Switch Keyboards are a low-cost alternative to the Short Travel keyboards. They use a high quality gold-on-gold membrane key-switch technology where a gold metal dome is placed over a gold contact on a reinforced PCB. The keys are protected by a 150 μm thick wear and tear resistant Autotex polyester frontsheet. The frontsheet is resistant to most industrial chemicals because of the „reverse printing technology“. They are available in desktop, 19 inch rack-mount or panel mount versions. Our Membrane Keyboards are sealed to IP65 and are available with trackball or capacitive touchpad. Interfaces available: PS/2 or USB. We offer semi or full customisation on all Membrane Keyboards.
Flexible Membrane Foil Keyboards The membrane foil keyboard is manufactured as a glued foil-layer-system. Silver-paste printed polyester foils are normally used as switch membranes. A spacer foil separates the lower and the upper switch membrane layer. The contact is made by pressing on the upper design foil in the key area. The upper switch membrane layer is situated on top of the design foil. The highly transparent design foil comes as a fine structure or smooth surface. This foil can be printed in various colors and/or legend information. Edge or key embossing as well as inlaying of metal domes ensure an excellent tactile feel and lead the finger to the right position.
Design Foils and Metal Plates The surface can be smooth or textured. To make the foils and printing wear and tear resistant the legends are printed on the rear side. Special layering techniques offer the possibility of having removable legends. Our embossing options offer maximum key feedback.
Silicone Keypads Silicone keyboards are used in many applications, for example in medical, Communication and food & beverage industries. In comparison to other keyboard technologies the silicone keyboards have an excellent price performance ratio and are robust and reliable. Unlimited design options are possible. Silicone keyboards are made of high flexible and toxin free silicone rubber. Pressure and accurate temperature control are parts of the production process of these keyboards. Special tooling is required for every different design. A conductive carbon pill is located under every key and a key stroke is made by pushing it against a special coil printed on the PCB or foil.
Custom Long Travel Keyboards InduKey´s long travel keyboards are used in the most demanding industries. From airport terminals to point-of-sales applications. We offer customisation of the key layout, colour schemes and even fully customised polystyrene or metal enclosures. By using the famous Cherry MX keys with their typical 4 mm key travel we can offer the highest quality keyboards.
Enclosures and Devices To realize your projects you need a functional keyboard in the right enclosure. Sometimes a standard of-the-shelf product will just not do. We can help by developing with you the right keyboard and enclosure by advising on the best key switch technology and enclosure materials. This will help you to supply your customers with high quality and cost effective keyboard solutions.
Resistive Touchscreens Resisitive touchscreens consist of a flexible top and a solid bottom layer, separated by tiny spacer dots. The insides of the two layers have a conductive metal transparent film. Pressure on the top foil will create a contact between the two layers and a controller connected to a computer can calculate the exact position of the pressure point by accurately meassuring the resistance between that point and the x and y axes.
