Welcome to our website
Lamina Keyboards Ltd.
was conceived in 1979 during a trip to a customer by Nick Morley who was the
Sales Director for an Electronics Component Distributor. Our first
customer was one making scoreboards for a darts system. This was soon
followed by membrane keyboards for a milking parlour and a large keyboard contract for a back-lit radar display
panel, The need to develop custom keyboards which meet requirements which
may be unusual has become a hallmark of our products. Most of our initial
control panels utilised touch switches but nowadays the vast majority are
tactile keyboards utilising
tactile, snap-action switches. We have made membranes which detect the difference
between an empty and full beer bottle, panels which will not actuate when walked
on by repair personnel wearing hobnail boots, a keyboard which withstood a
simulated nuclear blast and units which can tolerate being run over by a tank.
We have a wealth of expertise on
circuit design, tactile dome design (made by our subsidiary Snap-dome Systems
(www.snap-dome.com)
and
screen printing. We installed our first UV curing unit for fine line
printing and LED/LCD windows in 1990 and have subsequently manufactured our own
UV curing equipment. Our factory in East Sussex was supplemented in
1995 by a German subsidiary based just outside Munich and in late 2002 by a
production facility in Hong Kong. We export
throughout the world and have continually invested in training our personnel and
updating our equipment.
Our normal service gives a lead time of less than 7
days from drawing to completed membrane keyboards and this can be reduced to a same-day
service to customers who have extremely tight deadlines - usually for a new
product about to be shown at an exhibition and the Marketing Director has
decided on a logo change!
