Cubbison Success

The printed electronics engineering team at Cubbison met a strict deadline and achieved design and manufacturing success with a membrane switch for WELkins LLC--- Roseville, CA.

WElkins LLC received FDA approval for their EMT/ICU Temperature Management System in August, 2012-a major milestone for any company, and one made even more rewarding by the relative rapidity of approval, less than 90 days after the company's submission to FDA. According to Maurice Jordan, Welkin's Director of Quality & Manufacturing, "Getting FDA approval in a 90-day time frame is very tough not to mention time consuming. Thank you very much for your support and belief in us as a company."

Cubbison's membrane switch is the HMI interface on the control panel of a portable, noninvasive cooling device, known as the EMT System, developed by WElkins LLC.  The EMT System is a lightweight, rugged cooling system that enables therapeutic hypothermia in the field, at the point of injury. Mild hypothermia is a potent neuroprotectant and its use in the pre-hospital setting can be crucial to patient survival and recovery.

WElkins' cooling technology is the product of over five decades' research and development by Bill Elkins, a father of the modern spacesuit and designer of microenvironment cooling garments to help NASA astronauts survive in space.  In 2004, Welkins LLC was formed to expand Elkins' research in liquid cooling technology for medical, military, industrial and athletic applications.  Cubbison's relationship with WElkin's started about 2 years ago when our design team, headed by Yvonne Smith, began developing their membrane switch.  Hours were spent engineering WElkin's unique design.  Cubbison worked closely with the WElkin's team to ensure everything was on track to meet their deadline. 

Most membrane switch manufacturing companies want exact drawings from the customer and they quote the project as is, offering little to no assistance in the area of design.  At Cubbison, we think design assistance is our niche.  We take the time to research each project and our electronic engineers work together to offer the best design solution and finished product.

Cubbison Company is excited about collaborative relationship with WElkins LLC and is honored to work with such an innovative company!

2011 SGIA Printed Electronics & Membrane Switch Symposium

Tuesday, April 12, 2011

Cubbison is honored to speak at the upcoming 2011 SGIA Printed Electronics & Membrane Switch Symposium in San,Jose California June 14-16. Tim Merrifield, president of Cubbison, will be discussing the company's decision to get involved in the printed electronics industry and our experiences from all business perceptives including; marketing, training, print improvement methodologies, stretching resources, vendor developments, trade show strategy changes, plant manufacturing environment and much more.

According to Merrifield, "For us, it became obvious that our graphic products are mature (despite continued growth). Membrane switch production is not an end, but a way to position our company for future printed electronics products and applications."
