Improve Efficiency and Reduce Downtime in Plastics Production

Cross company offers a range of technical solutions for the plastics manufacturing industry. Our products and solutions provide tangible value for your operation, targeting quality and efficiency in your process. With a track record of real return on investment, you can be confident that working with Cross will benefit your plastic machining or manufacturing operation.

For example, at Cross, we know that cycle time is a key factor that can be strongly influenced by unscheduled machine downtime and length of start-up time. Both of these factors can be better controlled and decreased through the use of an automated solution. As little as five minutes of downtime can take 30-40 minutes to recoup in production.

Our automation group develops solutions to significantly reduce downtime and free up human operators to do additional, more meaningful tasks that may be too difficult or impractical to automate. Some examples of process efficiencies where automated solutions can be implemented with a fast ROI in plastics machine tending and secondary processes:

  • Sprue, Flash And Burr Removal
  • Part Transfer From Cooling Conveyor To Tray, Bin, Or Box
  • Repetitive Insertion Of Overmold Part Or Insert Mold Placement
  • Simple Secondary Insert Process (Rivet, Seal In Cap, Screws, Etc)
  • Weight Measurement With Visual Inspection
  • Banding, Stacking, Boxing Of Completed Goods Palletizing Of Completed Boxes
