We design and make the custom control components OEMs need to assure a positive user experience and reliable product operations. By developing a deep understanding of our customers’ products and product line direction, we are able to proactively bring ideas to them. We partner with you throughout the product life cycle, including supplying components and parts even at the end of a product’s useful life.
Developed to address high-use and vulnerability markets, XyTouch offers a completely sealed continuous surface for water resistance, chemical resistance, and wash down. By combining the touchscreen and membrane in one assembly, you can now use the membrane to interface the repetitive high volume input of specific keys and the software interface of the screen without the typical wear and breakdown associated with touchscreens.
For harsh environment applications in which a membrane switch may be exposed to water, dust, extreme temperatures, or harsh cleaners, the XyWeld® sealed switch is the best solution. The RAFI XyWeld® switch involves a specialty adhesive bonded with a proprietary heat-activated process to yield a spacer that is much more robust than a standard Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA).
One of the best ways to enhance customer experiences with your products is to add simple backlighting solutions to your designs. RAFI backlighting kits help you save space, with the LEDs and conductive screen printing all on one sheet of polyester.
Our exclusive RAFI manufacturing process produces the industry’s highest-quality polyester tactile domes in the graphic layer. And we have the advanced capability to machine place four-legged metal domes when the application calls for it.
Our conductive inks show superior performance on printed circuits and bonded components in applications such as dishwashers, gas pumps, and industrial controls. Custom-formulated inks are available to fit your requirements.
In some applications, it is preferred to use a rubber keypad user interface rather than a membrane switch graphic. Additionally, many factors contribute to the life expectancy of a rubber keypad, from the material used to the tactile feedback. Our non-conductive, non-tactile elastomer construction over a sealed membrane switch can provide tactile feedback from metal or polyester domes. All of the switching is part of the sealed membrane switch, with circuitry exiting via a circuit tail. Having tactile in the membrane switch allows for a thinner construction when compared to a tactile elastomer.
