EXPERT INSIGHT

💡EXPERT INSIGHT

The aluminum enclosure combined with an internal shielding mesh provides complete EMC protection. Front panels and finger guides are reverse screen‑printed, ensuring fully customized, durable and wear‑free markings. We have further enhanced these products by integrating full, homogeneous and adjustable backlighting for all legends. Our square pushbuttons also allow the integration of up to two indicator lights within the button itself, while maintaining customized markings and backlighting.

Most of the components presented at EUDEX are part of Euro Defence 50, APEM's selection of 50 COTS HMI references for European defence programmes.
