Industry examples

Robotics cable assemblies

Robotics cable assemblies are at risk of failure due to twisting and turning over the course of thousands of cycles, as well as the wear that comes from operating in industrial environments. To reduce downtime, industrial robotics cable assemblies need to be able to withstand high torsion and harsh operating environments. At MRO we can manufacture custom robotics cable assemblies with continuous flex cable and special strain relief overmolded connections that will resist wear and tear—reducing your downtime and saving you money.

Defense Grade Overmolded Cables

MRO is a reliable partner for prime contractors in the defense industry. We provide electronic manufacturing services for custom overmolded cable assemblies, wire harnesses, and other command and control electronic systems to our defense partners across North America and Europe.  Specializing in wire harnesses for Military vehicles including Light Armoured vehicles, Armoured Tactical vehicles and Troop Carriers.

MRO Electronic Supply works closely with our defense contractor partners to overcome the unique challenges this industry faces. We have successfully worked with clients to develop solutions for:

• Highly complex builds with up to one thousand connections per unit
• Rugged custom molds for vehicle harnesses and molded “T” adapters for efficient routing
• Test Rack wiring for communications centres
• Tight signal propagation specification requirements
• Weight reduction and improving durability
• High torque and repetitive motions
• Shielding for signal performance and clarity
• Complex shielded multi-branch wire harnesses
• Panel wiring for weapons systems on Naval Vessels
• Overmolded cable assemblies for advanced short range radar
• Overmolded cables for drone defence systems
• Overmolded cables for wearable soldier systems
• Overmolded cables for wearable K9 reconnaissance units
• Overmolded cables for breaching systems
• Overmolded cables for field medic systems including respirators and ventilators

Industrial Overmolded Cables  

Our custom overmolding capabilities are used in many industries for numerous applications including communication systems on Oil & Gas rigs, data vans, computer systems on mining trucks, remote monitoring for farms and forestry, surveillance cameras for law enforcement, electronic systems for military vehicles and Naval ships, asset monitoring and tracking for the transportation industry, radar for drone defence systems, torque guns for wind turbines, solar installations, continuous flex cables for robots, wearable cables for soldier systems and K9 surveillance units, antenna cables for science and exploration, avionics and more.

Overmolded Cables Built for Oil and Gas Operations

We have worked extensively with Oil and Gas clients to provide overmolded cable assemblies and custom antenna solutions that are rugged and able to withstand hazardous Class 1 Div 2 environments.  Our in-house overmolding team has worked with many clients to produce thousands of custom molds to increase durability and solve the unique problems found on land and sea rigs.  Our machine shop team can make molds from start to finish just how you want them in a matter of days.  We also have an extensive selection of durable jacket options including polyurethane, thermoplastic elastomer, thermoplastic rubber, teflon and many more.  Our cables are built to withstand abrasion, extreme heat, water ingress, blunt force impact, extreme cold, continuous flex, vibration, extreme pull force, EMI, rough handling, chemicals, oil and more.

We have extensive experience providing overmolded connectivity solutions for land-based oilfield drilling, well sites, production platforms, offshore drilling, pump rooms, pump jacks, logging systems, data vans, measurement-while-drilling, seismic systems, data acquisition and telemetry, oilfield service, Rig Communications and more.
