The feel of an epoxy key is set while the panel is built, not fixed by the material. We adjust the resin hardness so the panel can be a tactile membrane switch with a firm snap at the point of contact, or a linear one with smooth travel and no perceptible break — and the two can be mixed on the same face, so a start button does not feel like a menu key.
Silicone sealant closes the layers against water and dust, which is what makes the switch workable on outdoor equipment and on industrial machines that see coolant mist, washdown or airborne dust. If your panel is wiped down with a particular solvent or disinfectant, tell us what is used so the surface build is matched to it.
Model matching is where most interface projects succeed or stall. Send us your panel dimensions, actuation requirements, sealing and ESD needs, and operating environment, and our technical team will recommend the construction that fits — membrane switch, graphic overlay, or touch panel — together with the tactile, backlighting, and integration options open to you. We stay involved after the order as well, assisting with troubleshooting, installation, and commissioning so your units move into production without surprises.
On a flat custom membrane keypad the legend sits on a level surface and you feel only the layer flex under your finger. Here the epoxy resin is cured over each key into a transparent dome, so the button stands proud and gives a clear, three-dimensional press that can be found by touch. It also gives the front panel a polished, high-end look.
Yes. Resin hardness is set while the keys are built, so one panel can carry keys with a firm snap and keys with smooth linear travel. Most designs mix them: a start, stop or dose key gets the definite break that confirms the press, while menu and setting keys stay light. That lets you specify a tactile membrane switch where feedback matters and a linear one where it does not.
This epoxy membrane switch is built for roughly 500,000 to 1,000,000 presses, depending on the material and process used for your version. On a key pressed a few hundred times a day, that is years of service. The clear cap and the sealed layer construction carry that life, because dust and moisture stay out of the contact layers.
Yes. LED light guides can be designed behind the keys, so the panel works as a backlit membrane switch with even legend illumination for dim cabinets, night shifts and unlit vehicle interiors. Multiple key colours and light colours are available, and the guide is shaped around your key layout.
The raised keys are formed with resin rather than a separate mechanical keycap, so the assembly stays slim while still giving real button travel. Send your enclosure space and the surface you are mounting to, and the construction will be confirmed. Every custom membrane switch of this type is built to your panel drawing, so the depth is set by your housing.
Yes, and that is one of the main reasons engineers choose this format. On an industrial control panel, raised keycaps let an operator find start, stop or reset by touch without looking away from the line. A gloved tap is far less likely to be missed than on a flush surface, because the press is a physical, definite movement.
