Also known as faceplates, instrument
or control panels. Most usually Metal or hard materials. Panels allow for cut-outs
or holes for functions such as knobs, toggle switches and buttons. While, in most
cases, customers provide pre-fabricated parts, Accurate Dial is capable of supplying
metal and acrylics of various thicknesses and fabricating the parts in-plant to meet
your specifications. Painting, screen printing or deep etch & fill are processes often
used on panels.
We would be pleased to discuss the merits of the different types of materials and
processes available. (For flexible materials, see OVERLAYS.) |

Also referred to as instrument panels,
faceplates and membrane switch, keyboard or embossed keypad overlays. Overlays are
made of synthetic (plastic) materials which are often reversed printed to reduce wear,
increase longevity and provide for easy maintenance. They allow for function cut-out
such as knobs, toggle switches and buttons, as well as LED or translucent, opaque or
colored function light windows.
Synthetic materials, such as LEXANŽ, are the choice of product designers seeking the
most attractive and durable method of illustrating intricate customer logo designs with
multiple colors. (For non-flexible materials such as acrylic or metal, see PANELS.) |
