APEM’s metal capacitive technology mixes the advantages of both the plastic capacitive and the piezo technology to provide your HMI a new look and feel.


Reliability
Using metal makes the solution robust and able to withstand outdoor use. The need for a micromovement ensures that the changes in outside environment, including running water, will not activate the switch.

Long lifetime
Thanks to no mechanical motion metal enhanced capacitive technology offers a long lifetime to your keypad. Furthermore, this solution is easy to use with good sensitivity. Technology recognizes short and long presses and can process multiple simultaneous presses. The sensitivity can even be adjusted according to the typical usage of the application.

Appealing look
Besides robustness the all-metal look provides a sleek and aesthetic look to the application. The number and the position of the large 18 mm round keys are customizable, as is its illumination and marking. A tailor-made keypad is available specifically for your application.
