It’s no secret that in the industrial world, manufacturers are being asked to do more with less. At Cross, it’s a story we see time and time again: the one person with the knowledge base for a certain machine leaves, so now that machine is gathering dust. As this is becoming more and more common, in the world of metrology it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find qualified personnel needed to perform complex inspections. Compounding this challenge is the need for operations to maintain high quality standards, continuously improve efficiency, and reduce operational risks.

At Cross Company, we understand these challenges and are here to help. As exclusive distributors of the OGP line of precision measurement equipment, we can help you specify, install, program and train on their products so you can be as efficient as possible with your dimensional measurements without compromising on accuracy.

OGP has been manufacturing extremely high precision optical measurement equipment for over 80 years. This technical expertise has been paired with the latest in automation technology to create machines which are easy to use, have a high part throughput and provide detailed dimensional data in a variety of formats.

Their products include:

• The new M series multisensor metrology systems: Combine optical, laser and tactile sensors, letting you measure parts more completely, with lower uncertainty and in less time.
• C-Vision optical comparators: Combines the speed and accuracy of a video measurement system with the rugged capacity of an optical comparator for shop floor 2D measurement
• Turncheck shaft measurement systems: Designed specifically to measure shafts and other cylindrical parts quickly, accurately and easily. Read how Cross customer Segepo FSM reduced their part approval process with a Turncheck.
• Shapegrabber 3D laser scanners: For fast, accurate and automated 3D measurement, ideal for complex shapes which are time consuming and difficult to measure

Today’s vision equipment is paired with metrology software in order to control, monitor, display and report on every aspect of the measurement process. OGP’s comprehensive line of software includes Zone3, Measure-X and Turncheck, all designed to do as little or as much as you need to, from part to part and from operation to operation.

Cross Company plays an integral role in making sure your OGP product is delivering measurement efficiency. From helping you to specify the correct machine for your application to the installation and set-up of the new machine, Cross’s factory-trained experts are with you every step of the way. Need help programming your parts? No problem, we’re happy to help. We also offer software and hardware training to make sure your personnel are self-sufficient with their capital equipment.

Cross also offers comprehensive calibration and service for OGP equipment, from annual calibration to software upgrades to any repairs which might be needed.

If your measurement or inspection program needs to improve in efficiency while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, OGP products, fully supported by Cross Company, could be the answer. Get in touch today to begin the discussion.
