| A manufacturer of automated
prescription equipment needed a custom keyboard that could be
inserted into its own machine and withstand regular cleaning
with abusive chemicals. |
|
Cherry created a miniature,
notebook-sized custom keyboard with unique, project-specific
keycaps. To prevent gradual deterioration of keycap printing in
contact with cleaning agents, Cherry marked letters on the
keycaps with a high-temperature sublimation process, embedding
the alpha-numeric characters into the keycaps. For the keycaps,
Cherry evaluated and selected a specific grade of PBT plastic to
facilitate the sublimation process. |
|
For this custom solution, Cherry
employed the following capabilities:
• Long-life key switch technology,
from the Cherry ML series
• Sublimated keycap marking
• In-house keyboard endurance test
