Hello Guys, Figured this might be as best place as any to ask, Would anybody happen to know of any suppliers of replacement rubber buttons for printed circuit boards? We have 4 Cincinnati milacron Avenger series turning centers,Circa 1995-96 that the controls are pretty rock solid, except for

There are a number of parts to your button problem, you did not say which type yours are. some the rubber is just a thing to transmit motion to the inner contacts (membrane or dimple) in others there is a conductive rubber pad to short two traces. In both cases wear and corrosion on the PCB can

Yes I have it working but far from complete. PWM outputs, encoder and GPIO seems to work but I did not have enough time to test it on real machine yet. Do you have a private address there I could send the files ?? I make circuits boards and solder myself which take some time. I also have

Hi Rick! If it is the conductive type of buttons, most of the time the conductive graphite film on the rubber is worn. I always just repair them by glueing tinfoil on the worn spots. There are also repair kits (glue+graphite) available which you can put on the worn buttons. Alex On
