Lower Your Cost Choosing the Best Graphic Overlay Product

 Have you ever walked up to an ATM or petrol pump and noticed the numbers on the keypad? Ever thought what makes the operation of these cash dispense or fuel fill machines easier? These are the prime example and result of custom graphic overlays. A countless number of products that we use today in our day-to-day life have focus on graphics.  

 

Ranging from microwaves to calculators, these equipments have strong graphic element which is often achieved with the use of custom graphic overlays. A graphic overlay is created describing the function of each key embedded. When keys with similar functions are grouped together they can be color coded to make them quickly found.

 

At JRPanel you will find the most extensive array of overlay options in the industry, offering multiple types of embossing, 3M adhesives, screen printing, backlighting, coatings, and selective textures to create a customized overlay solution.

 

If new to graphic overlay products, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the variety and choice of manufacturing options. In this post I will be mentioning properties of some of the graphic overlay products we use at JRPanel to make sure you end up with the most effective one.

 

Polycarbonate: Polycarbonate is a high performance film with excellent chemical properties and is extremely tough and hard wearing. It is available in various surface finishes and thicknesses, so, gets easily personalized for a range of applications. Polycarbonate overlays produced combined with a high quality adhesive can give many years of service. All polycarbonate is thermally stable, and some surface textures can work as fire retardants, making it a great choice for catering and other warm environments.

 

Polyester: Polyester is the most preferred, strongest and resilient of all the materials we offer. These overlays can be produced in varying thickness and with a range of textures and anti-glare finishes. The biaxial nature of the polymer chains in the film makes polyester extremely strong as compared to other commonly used substrates and has a superior ability to cope with flexing. This property of it makes it ideal for embossing. The improved chemical resistance is one of the main advantages of polyester. Most polyester types come fully protected from damaging UV rays, making it perfect for outdoor use. A polyester graphic overlay can also be designed with anti-microbial coating ideal for military and medical environments.

 

Adhesive: A wide variety of pressure sensitive adhesives are available to bond the touch panel to a substrate. Selection of the best adhesive will depend upon factors such as smoothness of the surface, environmental conditions and type of substrate including plastic, metal and paint.

 

In a nutshell,

 

With those points you can now prioritize your requirement and go for the best graphic overlay product from the web store of JRPanel. If you need any more help choosing your graphic overlays, just get in touch by emailing us at.

Identify Different Types of Transformer Cores, Based on Materials

  Hi guys, this is JRPanel ! In previous  blog s, we have introduced several points about High Frequency Transformer, like  bobbins  and  Flat Spiral Coil . In this blog, JRPanel would like to introduce the commonly used magnetic cores in transformers ,  based on materials.   Generally speaking, the material of the core determines the environment in which the transformer is used. A transformer that uses a core of a different material will have its performance affected, may even be non-functional.   By material, magnetic cores are generally divided into the  several  categories . JRPanel will introduce them one by one to help you understand more fully.   1. Manganese Zinc Ferrite Core Mn-Zn core is a soft magnetic core with high initial permeability (2000~15000). The higher the initial permeability, the lower the surface resistance, so it is generally used in circuits below 1 MHz. Mn-Zn core has a high saturation flux density and causes lower losses, making it one of the most desirable

The Relationship Between Plastic Nameplates and Membrane Switches

Before the 1970s, most nameplates   were made of metal materials. Today, plastic  nameplates   have been widely used in household appliances, instruments, meters, office equipment and other fields, and have become an indispensable part of electromechanical products. It not only plays the role of trademark identification, specification model, function indication, etc., but also becomes an element that reflects the appearance of the product.   With the continuous use of new materials and new processes, the surface of plastic  nameplates   is constantly improving, and it has become the crystallization of three major technologies: comprehensive surface treatment, processing and molding, and screen printing.   Plastic  nameplates   can be divided into 2 types according to their material processing methods and objects of use:   1. The injection-type plastic  nameplate   is made of ABS, PC and other engineering injection molding, and then undergoes secondary surface decoration processing such

The Main Use and Classification Methods of Transformer Bobbins

  Hi guys, this blog is still about   high frequency transformers .   JRPanel   would like to introduce you the main use of transformer bobbins and how we classify them.   In the pictures are the transformer bobbins.        Following are the main uses of that JRPanel has summarized for you:   1. The bobbins provide space for winding copper wires in transformers.   2. Wire channel in the bobbins provides path for transformer winding.   3. The bobbins help to fix the core in the transformers.   4. The metal pins in the bobbins are connected to the  PCB  after soldering, which play an important role in conducting electricity when the transformer is working.   5. The baffle at the bottom of the bobbins isolates the core from the tin stack to avoid poor volta ge resistance.       From this it can be seen that the importance of bobbins in transformer is extraordinary.   After understanding the main uses of transformer bobbins,  JRPanel  is to introduce its common classification methods.   Fi
