Installation of components on flexible printed circuit boards: expertise required for designing an HMI

Our Pick-and-Place machine park allows us to collar, weld or else blaze a wide range of components, facilitating interactions between Man and Machine.

Optimize your HMIs with suitable CMS components

 

The diversity of components placed on the flexible membrane circuits allows you to create HMIs combining technology and functionality for all industrial sectors.

  • LEDs that act as indicator lights or provide backlighting for the HMI,
  • Resistors,
  • Capacitors,
  • Etc.

Our solutions of Pick and Place

With a fleet of 5 machines equipped with camera control at each stage of the installation process.

Specific solution for installing cups

Directly on adhesive with camera format registration. This unusual installation method, developed for the group, allows domes to be installed directly on the adhesive, ensuring total encapsulation of the dome in the HMI layers.

Bonding processes adapted to the HMI environment

All our operations are carried out in an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protected environment, guaranteeing the safety of sensitive components and their perfect integration.

Welding by mechanical bonding with conductive glue

This process ensures an excellent electrical and mechanical connection, guaranteeing the robustness of the assembly.

Reflow soldering of copper to the component

By fusing the component's patterns onto an internally etched copper circuit, this method offers a precise and durable solution for flexible membrane keyboards that will operate in the most hostile environments.

Installation of CMS

Various applications for all industries

Our achievements, omnipresent in all industrial sectors, illustrate the adaptability of our flexible printed circuits to demanding contexts:

Defense

HMIs control critical equipment that operates in the most hostile environmental conditions.

Aeronautics

Soft membrane keyboards are used in cockpits, control systems, alarm systems, passenger seats, etc.

Medical field

HMIs allow the control of medical devices (maternity, dental, ophthalmic, etc.) and are omnipresent on hospital beds, operating tables, etc.

Public works and access control

The keyboards are designed to withstand external aggressions: vandalism, weather conditions, etc.

Why choose flexible printed circuits from the Sertip Group?

The flexible printed circuits we produce offer functionality and performance :

Routing optimization

Taking your requirements into account, the surface electronics are perfectly integrated into the flexible circuit, on the back of your decorative face.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

We design a shielding circuit to contain the electromagnetic radiation from the HMI and ensure the safety and reliability of the device in the electronic system environment.

Personalized tactile sensations

The diversity of mastered processes allows us to develop a tailor-made tactile sensation adapted to your expectations.

Quality control at every stage of the process

We test all the features of every keyboard that leaves our workshops. Each compliant keyboard then receives a unique identifier allowing for the traceability of its manufacture and inspection.

Our experience in fields as demanding as armaments and medicine is proof of the high level of quality assurance in force within our group.

Many testing and measurement methods are available on our sites to meet all your criteria:

  • Dimensional: profile projector
  • Colors: spectro-colorimeters
  • Functionality: Versatile electrical test benches. Possibility of using a test bench of your own supply
  • Waterproofing: enclosure under water pressure
  • Support forces: dynamometer
  • Endurance bench: to test the number of keystrokes
  • Environmental conditions: temperature and humidity controlled oven
  • Etc.
