Front Panels

perfectly integrated into your application

Front panels with carriers

made of aluminum, plastic, stainless steel or FR4 material are often necessary to optimally integrate operating units into a customer application. These carriers provide the necessary stability and optimum support for the actual operating element, a membrane keypad or even a touchscreen. Other advantages are the wide variety of installation options: Gluing, screwing, plugging and much more. The installation in your application is customized for you.

We will gladly develop appropriate protection concepts according to IP protection classes for you.

Machining and finishing

The surface of a carrier plate can also be completely adapted to the area of application. From anodizing to painting to powder coatings, the front panel can be customized in many ways.

Openings, radii, chamfers or deeper milling for recessed input systems can be provided individually.

Advantages:

  • Carrier materials freely selectable
  • Variable installation options (from gluing to screwing)
  • Surface finishing as desired
  • Dispensing of gaskets possible

Components and options

Metal or plastic

Metal or plastic carrier

To ensure that a front panel integrates optimally into an application, versatile mechanical processing of plastic, aluminum or stainless steel is of great importance. Dimensionally accurate punching, drilling and milling ensure exact implementation of your production specifications.

In cooperation we realize an ideal front panel according to your requirements and our recommendations.

Printed circuit board

Carrier made of FR4 material

A printed circuit board equipped with electronic components, so-called FR4 material, can also act as a carrier. With thicknesses starting at approx. 0.5 mm, a printed circuit board can be equipped with appropriate components on the front and rear sides and integrated into the customer’s application using adhesives or screws, even where space is limited.

Gaskets

Gaskets for front panels

With our in-house dispensing machine, a wide variety of gasket types can be dispensed onto any front panel. The possibilities of a dispenster gasket are versatile, both in terms of material selection and shape: single beads, double beads (beads lying on top of each other), combination beads (with conductive core for EMC shielding) or special shapes are all possible.

Note on file naming

To ensure that your files can be transferred and processed by us without any problems, please observe the following instructions:

  1. Avoid spaces: Use underscores (_) or hyphens (-) instead of spaces.
  2. Use dots sparingly: There should be no dots in the name except before the file extension (e.g. .jpg).
  3. Avoid special characters: Characters like &, %, $ and # can cause errors.
