Greenstock In-connect design and manufacture a wide range of cable overmouldings for a variety of applications, we can overmould cable breakouts, ESD suppression devices, cable glands and a number of other features all to your exact specifications.
The introduction of overmoulding processes has dramatically changed the appearance and functionality of cable assemblies over the last several few decades. Through the utilisation of an injection moulding process, overmoulding has allowed cable assemblies to have better functionality by:
- Allowing them to become impervious to fluids, therefore being able to be exposed to harsher environments.
- Providing them the ability to withstand shock, vibration, and continual flexing without damage to the termination point.
- Making them more aesthetically pleasing by using tooling that allows for the inclusion of corporate logos and trade names as part on the overmould itself.
Through the use of 3D printing, models of the overmould can be quickly and cost effectively created to ensure that the overmould meet the application requirements prior to hard tooling.
Unlike many cable assembly manufactures who supply low pressure mouldings as an add on, in-connect see this as a core skill and has invested significantly in moulding plant and machinery for both low and high pressure moulding technologies.
In-Connect has been overmoulding cables since the companies inception in 1993, supplying a wide range of products, we pride ourselves on our technical capabilities and high level of customer service.
