Cablescan manufactures cable harnesses engineered for operation in harsh environments where full environmental protection is essential. For low-volume requirements and prototyping, we offer hand-laid multi-core cable solutions. For production runs, we work in partnership with specialist cable manufacturers to ensure the right materials and construction methods are specified for every application.

Our AS9100-driven processes ensure complete traceability from incoming material through to finished assembly, with every stage of manufacture attributable to the individual operator responsible. Wire identification is carried out using our dual-spectrum wire laser markers, providing clear and durable labelling throughout.

All production documentation is managed within a configuration control system, with customer-driven changes assigned agreed embodiment points to ensure changes are integrated seamlessly and without disruption to the programme.

Repair, overhaul and modification

Repair, overhaul and modification

Cablescan operates a dedicated facility for the repair, overhaul and modification of harnesses, control panels and junction boxes. All products are surveyed on receipt and released with a warranty. Where required, we have the capability to establish and manage a facility within a customer's own premises — a service we have delivered successfully at a number of locations worldwide.

We have supported numerous Urgent Operational Requirement (UoR) activities, regularly providing 24-hour engineering and production support alongside same-day courier services to minimise programme disruption. All change documentation is managed within our configuration control system to maintain full traceability.

Where drawings are unavailable, our engineers are experienced in reverse engineering existing products. We can also work with customers to identify and qualify alternative materials where obsolescence, minimum order quantities or lead times present a risk to programme delivery.

Overmoulding

Overmoulding

Cablescan provides a full overmoulding service, working with a wide range of materials to produce cables built to exact customer specifications. Our in-house mould tool design and production capability allows us to work directly with your engineering team throughout the process, from concept through to finished assembly.

A key advantage of overmoulding is the superior environmental sealing it provides. Applying a soft pre-mould around contacts and screen terminations creates a reliable watertight seal, while also increasing the overall strength and robustness of the assembly. Our engineers will advise on the optimum material and tool design to achieve the correct balance between environmental protection and cable flexibility, and we hold a wide range of tooling for the most common connector profiles.

Overmoulded cable assemblies represent our most ruggedised harness construction and are the industry-preferred solution for military, aerospace and marine applications. The low-profile finish also makes overmoulding well suited to body-worn applications. Where an Amphenol connector with an integrated back shell is appropriate, this approach can offer a cost reduction by eliminating the need for a separate back shell component.
