"It's IP67 rated, so it's medical-grade." Not the same thing.

Defined under IEC 60529, IP67 confirms two environmental-protection attributes: complete protection against dust ingress and resistance to temporary water immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

IEC 60601 is a broader medical electrical equipment standards framework addressing basic safety and essential performance, including areas such as electrical hazards, mechanical safety, EMC, labeling, usability expectations, and risk-management integration.

An IP rating is one validated data point. IEC60601 is the governing compliance framework.

Before positioning a component as suitable for a medical application, confirm the full standard, regulatory pathway, and performance requirements the OEM is required to meet.

In tactical environments, one accidental press can compromise secure communications.

GRAYHILL helps prevent that risk at the component level. For a secure personal radio application, our 26 Mechanical Encoder uses isolated switch positions to help protect against accidental Zeroize activation.

Paired with a low-profile sealed keypad rated for 33 feet of immersion per MIL-STD-810, the design supports reliable control in wet, rugged, and unpredictable conditions.

Small in size. Built for mission-critical performance.

Meet the Series 67C Precision Joystick: a compact, multi-function control solution engineered to consolidate joystick, pushbutton, and optical encoder capabilities into one shaft. It delivers directional control, click actuation, and precision adjustment without the complexity of stacking multiple components.

Designed for system flexibility, the Series 67C offers configurable cable lengths, termination styles, and encoder resolutions—helping engineers meet application requirements without custom part numbers or added tooling costs.

Inside, it communicates with smooth analog output for joystick movement and precise digital pulses for rotational input, all with low-power operation that supports OEM integration.

One part. Endless configurations. Built to move with you.

10x. That's how much GRAYHILL's production output has grown since integrating robotic automation into our manufacturing operations.

But output is only part of the story.

Our laser soldering robots bring micron-level precision to intricate soldering tasks — and our Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) robot follows with a five-camera inspection system that catches what human inspection can't.

What makes these systems work isn't just the technology. It's that our team designs and builds the custom fixtures and moldings in-house, so the robots adapt to our products — not the other way around.

People. Performance. Progress.

In clinical environments, touchpoints deal with repeated chemical exposure. Multiple times per shift, they get cleaned down with bleach wipes, alcohol, and MRSA-grade disinfectants.

Standard interface components are often not engineered for that reality. Seams collect debris. Gaps trap moisture. Materials wear under aggressive cleaning.

GRAYHILL designs for it from the start, with keypads, front panels, and the sealed T2 Trackpad built to support cleaner, more durable clinical interfaces. That’s because in healthcare technology, cleanability is both a feature and a requirement.

Building the perfect control panel is a balancing act.

Every component choice impacts the final product's performance, durability, and how it feels in the user's hands. Get it wrong and touchpoints can become weak points.

At GRAYHILL, our specialist engineers work alongside yours to precision-design intuitive interfaces that meet your project goals.

Most engineers don't struggle to choose a rotational control. They struggle because they start with the wrong question. Before you compare part numbers, you need to know which type of device you're actually designing for.

Rotary switch. Mechanical encoder. Optical encoder.

They all turn. They don't all do the same thing.

The difference comes down to:
- Do you need to switch current — or just send a signal?
- Is there a microcontroller in your system?
- Do you need the k**b to know where it is at power-up?
- How many cycles will this device see in the field?

Answer those first, and the right device becomes obvious.
