Keypads & Interfaces

Keypads & Interfaces connect electronics to the outside world, by giving the user(s) a set of controls while also indicating what these controls do. We provide a wide variety of available options including switches, sensors, materials, graphics, displays, backlighting, circuitry, and interconnects, making our interfaces extremely customizable.

With such an overwhelming list, it is important to have experienced and trusted interface experts you can rely on, as the design and engineering of a keypad can be the most important part of a products development, making or breaking the usability and visual appeal for the end-user. Fortunately, with over 20 years’ experience in the field, ALMAX is trusted around the world to help simplify this process in any implementation.

Printed Electronics

Printed Electronics is a branch of electronics manufacturing that uses an additive process to create circuits, components, or entire devices by printing on a variety of substrates. Using this technology, ALMAX makes high-quality electronic products that are thin, flexible, wearable, lightweight, of various sizes, extremely cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Printed Electronics has emerged as a key technology in the growing demand for thinner and flexible devices.

As this trend continues, so have its applications, ranging from flexible displays, batteries and solar panels to photovoltaics, lighting, antennas, circuits, interconnects, as well as many other fitness and healthcare use cases.

At ALMAX we pride ourselves on being a leading innovator in the printed electronics world by keeping our products and capabilities of the latest and greatest for our customers.

Full Product Assemblies, Housings & Enclosures

Every electronic device needs a secure place to live if it aims to live up to the demand and quality that customers expect in our modern world. Depending on the end use, Housings and enclosures need to be rugged, waterproof, or vibration-free, all while maintaining an attractive cosmetic appearance. Not only that but figuring out how a product assembly is going to come together can seem like a daunting task.

ALMAX provides this service as a natural complement to our interfaces. Boasting the manufacturing abilities of Injection Molding, CNC, Sheet-Metal Forming, 3D-Printed Prototypes, Laser Engraving, and more we help design, model, and manufacture the proper assembly to fit your requirements. Some of our methods for seamless fits include using integrated snap-fits, interlocking joints, threaded fasteners and living hinges for secure enclosure connections. Moreover, our flexible electronics capabilities allow us to make in-mold electronics that form directly to various surfaces and geometries.

Graphics and Backlighting

As an inherent extension of most keypads, graphics and backlighting render the visual understanding and attraction of a product. This is important because users understand that every detail of a product matters. If the quality of a product on the outside is lacking, end-users will understandably assume that the inside of the product is of matching quality. Being a long-time end-to-end solutions provider, means ALMAX knows where products go right or go wrong and the best way to design and manufacture the quality our customers, and your customers, deserve.

Our backlighting capabilities include LED lighting and indication, Light Guide Film, electroluminescent, fiber optic, or addressable solutions. Our graphic solutions for overlays, nameplates, labels, rubber and more come from our abilities to screen-print, digital print, roll-to-roll print, laser-etch, embossing, and the addition of surface finish and textures.
