New design and production service makes it easy to switch to Knitter-Switch membrane keypads

A new design and production service from Europe’s leading switch manufacturer, Knitter-Switch, makes it easy for users to adopt membrane technology for their switching and control applications.

The key benefits of membrane technology include reliability, long contact life, easy mounting, custom graphics, custom connection and illumination, and the flexibility to choose materials that offer resistance to environmental conditions such as dust, moisture and chemicals.

According to Hanspeter Kuelb, CEO of Knitter-Switch, membrane keypads can often provide the most suitable switching solution and offer a fast and convenient way of mounting a number of switches and indicators to a control panel.

"The problem is that designers are often wary of specifying membrane keypads because there is a perception that the design process can be difficult and the tooling costs expensive". Says Hanspeter Kuelb "With many membrane manufacturers located in the Far East, it is also easy for the design process to be hampered by difficult communications and slow response".

"We have overcome these concerns by locating experienced design teams in the UK, France and Germany, each capable of guiding customers through the design process towards a cost effective and functional solution. Prototypes are provided on short lead times for final approval of form and function and, once approved, high volume tooling and manufacture are carried out in Asia to ensure very competitive pricing". He adds.
