Since 1973, our medical customers have used variations of our BIG SWITCH design as a Collision Avoidance sensor on their imaging machines. This type of switch can be designed to sense actuation on all surfaces. Since every application is unique, we are capable of meeting virtually any customization need.
The "Big Switch™" combines the proven ability of The Hall Company's membrane switch technology with innovation and convenience. Offered primarily by The Hall Company, this product features a large, highly visible key area and provides ultimate ease of operation. Our Big Switch designs lead the global medical market in collision avoidance technology.

The diversity of the medical industry demands flexibility in design. As a switch manufacturer for Adac Labs and Siemens, The Hall Company utilizes a BIG SWITCH as a safety shut-off for their collimator heads on nuclear body scanners. This switch immediately stops the equipment should the an item come in contact with the unit.
Larger than normal keys provide an easier means of operation and provide a highly visible target for the user. This is one of the many facets which make BIG SWITCH designs advantageous in many applications. Regardless of the user's age or mobility, a BIG SWITCH is more ergonomically suitable.
Being a custom manufacturer of membrane switches and panels, The Hall Company prides itself on its flexibility in a constantly changing market. Nothing is too exotic, as is the case with Mitsubishi's 3000GT SPYDER. This hard-top convertible utilizes an enhanced Hall Company Big Switch as a trunk floor sensor. This sensor prevents the hard-top from retracting should there be any object as small as a golf ball in the trunk.
While almost all membrane switch technology is based upon a normally closed or normally open condition, our new variable resistance membrane switch enables a customer-defined variable resistance switch to be used as a potentiometer or a slide bar switch. By measuring the output resistance of these switches, a range of motion can be measured, and multiple positions selected, opening the possibilities of membrane switch technology to a much larger market.
