Metal keypads/keyboards and control systems
APEM metal keypads/keyboards combine the highest level of resistance to vandalism (up to IK10) and a modern and visually attractive design.
Designed for the harshest environments, they are weather proof and can withstand most corrosive agents.
Metal keypads/keyboards have a modular construction which allows customization with a relatively short prototyping time. They are made of standard elements developed by APEM and can also integrate other components (joysticks, indicators, switches).
- Modular construction based on standard V, PR and PQ series
- Modern stainless steel/aluminum design
- Long life
- High resistance to harsh environments
- On request, integration of specific electronics: protocols, USB interfaceÉ
Features
- Uniform backlighting, no visual fatigue, choice of color
- Choice of shape and number of keys
- With or without frame
- Custom product at a reasonable price
Typical applications
For many years, APEM has produced metal keypads/keyboards for the following applications:
- Self-service machines (car park access, vending machines for transport tickets or other)
- Access control (interphonesÉ)
- Industrial automation (control panels, industrial remote controls...)
- High end products (cars, yachts, high tech, luxury...)
Customization and integration
Our metal keypads/keyboards are highly customizable:
- Backlighting color and intensity
- Key shape and size
- Marking type and position, embossing/braille option
- Long life marking with high abrasion resistance
- Connection, possible combination with an emergency stop
- High resistance to harsh environments: up to IP69K and IK10
- With or without frame depending on type of integration
- Color of front face: black anodized, aluminum, stainless steel
- Electronics: choice of communication protocols RS232, CAN, USB, LIN
Standard products available:
- V series - the most robust
- PR series - compact design with round keys
- PQ series - compact design with square keys
Other products are available on request, from standard to 100 % custom. Contact us with your project!
