Today major appliance and consumer electronics are an important part of home furnishing.
Thus the importance of applications being both functionally effective and appealing to our aesthetic sens is essential to win the favour of the consumers.
ADDING TOUCH TECHNOLOGY
Adding touch functionality to your major appliance does not require investing i expensive ITO-screens, best known from our smart devices.
By using a transparent printed capacitive touch sensors as part of the control panel, touch functionality is achieved in a cost-effective, easy, and appealing way.
FINELINE DOWN TO 50 UM
Mekoprint production facilities enable screen printing of narrow conductive silver traces down to 50 μm – equivalent to half the width of a strand of hair.
Such fine line traces are especially useful when combining capacitive touch function with backlight properties in the user interface. The fine line traces also allow for high resistant properties to UV exposure, thus becoming the preferred solution in backlight user interfaces.
The natural properties of fine line printing also allows for optimum print layout where size is a mechanical important factor, thus allowing for comprised and minimized product developments.
MARKET PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
Many of the world’s leading manufacturers of major appliance are among Mekoprint’s long term customers.
Together we have created a large variety of user interfaces for washing machines, dryers, ovens, induction hobs, dishwashers, and coffee machines, to name a few – All benefiting from our strong expertise in creating touch sensor user interfaces.
SERIES MASS PRODUCTION
Our state-of-the-art, automated roll-to-roll screen-printing production enables us to accommodate the high demands from the automotive industry.
Both for delivering high and uniform quality and at the same time ensure a globally cost competitive high volume production.
100% TEST OF ALL SENSORS
As the traces becomes increasingly narrow the visual inspection of printed circuits becomes challenging. As the human eye falls short we resort to technology for help.
In order to ensure low ppm failure rate, we have installed electrical test and automated vision systems throughout both printing and completion.
- Line scan camera in printing (R2R)
- Automated inspection of graphics, including unique marking of foils (R2R)
- Automated inspection of die cut tolerances (items cut into format)
- 100 % electrical flying probe test (R2R)
