Cross Custom Measurement Solutions
We’re proud of the services we’ve provided. From fiber blending to table top vacuum chambers, we’ve worked with many manufacturers to provide the best automation and measurement solutions.
If your production process could benefit from industrial automation, we’d love to hear from you. Our team of dedicated engineers will work directly with your teams from concept to completion to ensure the highest quality and measurement accuracy.
Cross Automation solutions can work for you. If you’re facing disruptions in your processes, now is the time to make the switch to automation. Take a look at some of our work and see for yourself how automated measurement can make all the difference.
Cross Company Automation has developed an emulsion system that utilizes out batching technology to automate the emulsion process. The emulsifier is prepared and automatically dispensed into the other ingredient lines (tar, asphalt etc.) according to user defined mix percentages.
By automating your mixing, blending, or batching system, you can ensure your products are uniform across different machines, different shifts, and even different plants. We’ve designed hundreds of custom batching and blending systems across a range of industries. And we have the experience and expertise to build one for your operation, too.
Our application engineers can custom-engineer bulk bag handling systems from simple weighing racks to advanced weighing systems capable of measuring the smallest amount of raw materials into your process. This increased accuracy and reliability can provide many tangible benefits to your operation.
Whether you need a custom standard for impact testing, to test a checkweigher, to meet UL specifications, to calibrate force gauges, or to validate another part of your quality process, Cross can help. We’ve provided custom-designed measurement solutions for countless industrial operations and we can provide them for you, too.
We’re able to design and build custom gauges based on customer requirements and necessary specifications. Whether it’s modifying an off-the-shelf model or developing a completely custom solution, Cross works with you to determine your exact needs and find the right automation solution.
Cross custom fixtures improve measurement efficiency by making measurement easier. This makes it faster for the operator to load and unload products, increasing overall operational efficiency. Our custom fixtures are also easy to load, which improves ergonomics for the operator and minimizes set-up time.
Force testing allows a manufacturer to gain a realistic representation of product performance based on a specific test. We have a broad range of equipment to work with, so we can fit most applications and most budgets. At Cross, we can measure parameters such as tension, compression, coefficient of friction, spring testing, and many others.
When off-the-shelf scales can’t get the job done right, our engineers and measurement experts can design and create a custom solution that works with your application. We can also add peripherals like stack lights, scanners, printers, fixturing, and many other custom components. That way your scale can be exactly how you need it to be.
If you’re manually testing products internally, it’s likely that your operation could benefit from a custom test machine. Our engineering team is able to review your existing internal, ISO, or ASTM test procedures and work with you to devise a machine that can automate that testing process.
Sometimes achieving or measuring the torque in your process isn’t a straightforward process. However, custom torque measurement solutions from Cross can help. Our engineers can design custom solutions perfectly tailored to your application to increase throughput and accuracy while reducing downtime and the risk of injury.
By utilizing vision technology into your measurement and inspection processes, you can reduce your risk of wasted product and raw materials. This is due to custom vision technology allowing issues to be discovered considerably faster. In addition, your risk of warranty issues will be reduced due to 100% inspection of your product.
The measurement experts and engineers at Cross Automation can design and build custom weight carts for your precise operational needs. Each cart is built to your specifications and can include features like custom height, ergonomic designs, dust covers, hand braking options, and many other customizable features.
Fiber blending is an essential part of the early production process for textile manufacturers, both woven and non-woven. Whether you simply need to weigh one weigh pan or you need a fully automated blending system, the engineers at Cross are the trusted experts for fiber blending.
When producing high volume products such as hard surface floor coverings, uniformity is key. When it comes to industries like flooring and consumer goods, reliable and consistent gloss and emboss is necessary. Cross can provide the automation to ensure that consistency.
At Cross, we’ve developed a pin gauge classifier that makes use of a top-of-the-line laser scan micrometer partnered with custom-designed software applications. A set-up like this allows for accurate, fast, and simple checks of pin gauges. No matter what your process setup looks like, we can provide an automated solution.
Checkweighing is a fairly common scale application. Essentially, it is a scale that is programmed to tell the operator if the piece(s) being measured falls within a specific target weight range. Scales can be programmed to show this both graphically or with stack lights.
The table top vacuum chamber is designed to vacuum test small containers for quality control. This solution is able to withstand frequent testing, lowers the chance of product malfunction, and increases overall efficiency for industrial operations requiring in-house testing.
Unattended truck scale weighing kiosks can speed up throughput and increase efficiency. They can also help prevent fraud, all while providing 24/7 unattended operation.
Whether you’re weighing boxes of tiny bullets or many trucks weighing many tons, Our engineering department can help design a weight-based solution for you. Our team of engineers and application experts can design easy-to-use automation solutions for your complex measurement application.
