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.

Custom Fixturing →

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.

Custom Force Equipment →

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.

Custom Scales →

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.

Custom Test Machines →

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.

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.

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.

Inline Gloss Measurement →

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.

Pin Gauge Classifier →

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.

Small Parts Kitting and Checkweighing →

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.

Table Top Vacuum Chamber →

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. 

Unattended Truck Scale Weighing Kiosks →

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
