Membrane switches
A solid and easily adaptable technology
Ever since their first introduction in the 1970s, membrane switches have formed the basis for solid, reliable and cost-effective user interfaces for all kinds of applications. Known for their robustness and resistance to heavy weather conditions and pollution, membrane switches, membrane keypads and membrane buttons are highly recommended for outdoor applications, industrial environments and heavy-duty work. But they are also a perfect fit for medical equipment or communication devices, as they are easily adaptable to new technologies.
“Membrane switches are solid and reliable user interfaces for any type of environment.”
Custom membrane keypads and membrane switches
Membrane switches have always been the technology of choice for heavy-duty environments that require a high level of robustness. Membrane keypads can be made perfectly dust and watertight and resistant to chemicals and other forms of pollution, which make them ideally suited for outdoor and industrial environments. Membrane switch keypads are also easy to clean, enabling maximum hygiene for medical and pharmaceutical applications such as hospitals and cleanrooms. As a manufacturer in custom membrane switches, HMI, keypad, foil keypad, dome switch keyboards for medical, home appliances, remote controls, transport & communication, Quad Industries offers a wide range of high-quality finishing options, including soft-touch keypads or a brushed steel look.
Membrane touch switches: versatile and future-proof
Although membrane switches have been around for many years, they have proven to be very versatile and easily adaptable to new technology. As a custom membrane switch and membrane keypad manufacturer, Quad Industries offers a wide range of modern features. This includes wireless connection via printed NFC, BLE or WiFi antennas, seamless integration of capacitive touch sensing and visual feedback for users through the integration of LEDs and or electroluminescence.
