A D Metro delivers innovative and highly specialized touch solutions.
Most real world touch applications require engineering enhancements or customization beyond that provided by an off the shelf touch sensor. A D Metro provides complete engineering services from conceptual design through production:
- Analysis and Design
- Prototyping
- Test and Measurement
- Material sourcing and manufacturing preparation
- Integration consulting
Areas of specialty in touch sensor design and customization include:
- Optical enhancements: Application of coatings and films to enhance optical performance of touch sensor and LCD stack-up
- Strengthened Substrates: Whether a military, industrial or vandal prone application, the only way to construct a touch sensor that can withstand direct, excessive, heavy impacts is through the enhancement of the sensor’s main substrate panel. A D Metro is expert in the application of hardened glass laminations to provide the optimal sensor impact strength for any given thickness or weight
- Electromagnetic Interference Shielding (EMI Shielding): The application of ITO coatings, wire mesh or metal coated films to the touch sensor in order to provide the necessary shielding. A D Metro designs and manufactures touch solutions to meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements and MIL-STD using index matched low ohm ITO coatings, grounding silver bus bar options and conductive grounding gaskets.
- Mullion Heaters: Touch sensor substrates provide an ideal platform for heater windows required for display applications that must work in extreme conditions
- Cosmetic Customization: Whether it is enamel silk screened borders or die-cut vinyl overlays, A D Metro can provide seamless integration of the touch sensor into your ergonomic design
- Sensor Integration: Many touch sensor problems arise from incorrect mounting and installation. Bringing A D Metro into the early stages of the mechanical design phase of a new project often save future headaches down the road
