Define the mating surfaces, dimensions and working conditions. ETOL manufactures the part to the agreed design and material.
Share the part, its application and your estimated quantity.

Selected for the contact, temperature and movement
Define the visible surfaces and intended color
Develop holes, lips and walls around the mating parts
Match the attachment and installation method
Custom keypads let an electronic interface follow the device's own control layout. A change in key spacing, function grouping or enclosure shape can be reflected in the molded rubber rather than accommodated by an ill-fitting standard part. The visible redesign still needs to remain coordinated with the board contacts beneath it.
When revising an existing control panel, identify which key positions are fixed by the electronics and which may change. Check the available internal height before increasing key travel or adding a taller top. The surrounding web and locating features should be reviewed whenever the arrangement changes, even if the overall outside dimensions stay the same.
ETOL can customize the structure, material, color and hardness, with conductive or non-conductive versions appropriate to the chosen switching system. Evaluate the revised layout in its intended housing and confirm that the legends continue to match the programmed functions.
During assembly trials, compare access to closely spaced keys and inspect the edges near the perimeter. A revised key should not become trapped when the enclosure is secured. Keep the approved artwork and mechanical revision together so a later replacement does not mix the old function labels with the new physical arrangement.

Identify key dimensions, mating surfaces and quantity
Agree the compound and manufacturing approach
Review the fit and agreed requirements in the assembly
Manufacture and check against the approved requirements
Identify temperature, contact fluids and repeated movement.
Consider hardness together with wall thickness and support.
Check access, mating dimensions and the fitting sequence.
Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.
Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.
A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.
The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
