HEALTH & FITNESS

The increasingly popular fitness industry caters to a variety of customers, ranging from novices who work out at home to professional trainers and corporate gym chains. Electronic exercise equipment must not only be safe for the end user, but easy for a novice to understand and operate.
At MICLEN, we support the fitness industry by providing gyms with the quality human-interface solutions to operate exercise equipment. If you'd like to personalize the user experience, all membrane switches and graphic overlays for fitness equipment can be customized with gym logos, colors, and slogan.

 

Membrane switches

Membrane Switches are the perfect alternative to mechanical switches in exercise equipment. The majority of exercise equipment manufacturers are now incorporating membrane switches into their designs due to several factors. Membrane Switches can be actuated a minimum of 1,000,000 times prior to any failure. These membrane keypads are chemical resistant and are easily cleaned with household cleaners. While mechanical switches allow for dirt and dust to accumulate around the raised button area, membrane switches are flat and have no raised areas where dirt can accumulate.

Cost is always a factor when manufacturers look to design switches into their fitness equipment. The cost effectiveness and high quality of membrane switches make them the perfect complement to this growing market.

 

Graphic overlays

Miclen’s custom-designed panel overlays are crafted from high-quality, durable materials, including polyester, polycarbonate, vinyl and PVC. Fitness equipment overlays made with sturdy, long-lasting stock protects against scuffs, moisture, UV rays and chemical corrosion. These protective measures extend machine life, therefore offering cost savings to the end user. The customizable element of MICLEN products allows our clients to showcase a company logo and give machinery a professional, clean look while detailing important information such as treadmill speed or bicycle incline levels. Each piece of equipment can be uniquely serialized also.

 

Product Identification and Decoration

Whether you simply need serialized labels with detailed product information or a stylized nameplate with your product and corporate branding, MICLEN has a wide range of production capabilities to design and manufacture a product that meets even the most demanding functional and design requirements. MICLEN’s Film Insert Molding capabilities provide a unique opportunity to simplify your product assembly by integrating labels and decoration into the product enclosure while improving the design interest and durability of your products.
