Assembly & Fixturing Applications
Automation Solutions for Industrial Assembly and Fixturing
In modern manufacturing applications, every assembly process is a necessary step in defining final product quality. From securing components with extreme precision to ensuring every kit is packed correctly, consistency isn’t negotiable. You may already know that automating these processes is key to preventing errors and increasing throughput. But the big question is who can you trust to integrate a solution that works?
As an automation solutions integrator, Cross Company has been solving these challenges for industrial manufacturers and commercial operations since our first automation projects in the 1950s. Our team of automation engineers and other experts has a unique perspective, having seen the evolution of the manufacturing world over the years.
We provide automation solutions in a wide range of capacities. From single components and custom fixtures to fully integrated robotic systems, our goal is to provide the solutions that are best for your operation, your people, and your ROI. Our engineering team takes into account your production process, your facility layout, and your own internal capabilities to determine the right automation solution for your application. So we can provide you with a solution that just works.
Custom Fixtures, Small Parts Kitting, and Other Applications
The best automation solution is the one that works for your operation. At Cross Company, we understand that automating a unique manual process can seem daunting. That’s why we take the time to fully understand your production model. That way, we can provide you with an automation solution that works.
To find the best solution for your operation, our team of engineers and automation experts work directly with your own team from concept to completion. This allows us to design and integrate a solution that is perfectly tailored to your needs, whether it’s a custom fixture or a multi-stage assembly line.
Ensure that the part you are measuring or assembling is held securely and consistently every single time. Our custom fixtures hold parts in a repeatable orientation, producing more accurate measurements, significantly improving accuracy, and reducing the risk of human error.
Eliminate errors in your manual kitting process with our small parts kitting automation solution. Our system guides operators through a predefined program, using scales and visual aids to ensure the correct parts are added in the correct order, saving time and money while improving customer satisfaction.
