What are the main manufacturing processes for membrane switches?

The membrane switch is a common part of modern life. As a small part of a product, it does not look small, it controls the operation of the entire machinery and equipment. At the same time, there are no shortage of workflows in the manufacture of membrane switches. This article will introduce the main processes involved in the manufacture of membrane switches and will hopefully bring you some help.

The main features of membrane switches

Membrane switches are flat, thin, light, dustproof, water resistant and semi-enclosed. They are widely used in various fields such as intelligent electronic measuring instruments, medical instruments, computer control, CNC machine tools, desktop computers, copiers, fax machines and word processors.

The main production process of membrane switches

Design

The design of the relevant documentation and the preparation of the operational processes and processing requirements according to the customer's needs.

Cutting

The material is selected according to the process prepared by the design office and cut according to the design process. This step requires special tools and equipment, such as die-cutting machines, semi-automatic die-cutting machines, automatic die-cutting machines, starter presses, hydraulic presses, laser cutting machines, etc.

Silk-screening

Screen printing is the core process in the manufacture of membrane switches. The designed process modulates the ink in different colors and is then screen printed.

Forming

The screen printed mask, lines, isolation layer and backing are mounted and shaped according to the customer's requirements and the choreographed process. After the first finished product has passed inspection, the whole assembly is finished.

The above is the main production process of membrane switches. When you use membrane switches you need to be aware that membrane switches are stored in a room at room temperature, should be made dust-proof and moisture-proof and that the surrounding air is free from acid, alkaline or other corrosive gases.

Why use overlay?

Overlay is a very popular decorative switch for household products and is another successful application of electronics instead of mechanics. With overlay you can achieve a smarter, more user-friendly touch switch with advantages that are unmatched by traditional switches. In addition, overlay is very easy to use. For example, the failure of a switch does not affect the use of other switches, so the user can simply replace it with a new intelligent switch and install it.

Membrane switches are a product of social and technological development. When using membrane switches, we need to pay attention to some things to avoid its service life being affected.
