Automated Machine Tending

Cross Machine Tending Automation

Robotic machine tending is one of the most common applications for collaborative robots (cobots) in the industry. Tending robots paired with machine tending automation are rapidly becoming a leading means of increasing production speed and accuracy, leading to better production processes, safer workers, and a more impressive bottom line.

Cross has helped numerous customers implement turn-key machine tending solutions to increase efficiency and redirect human labor to more desirable, higher value tasks. This optimization of production processes is just one of the many benefits of robotic machine tending provided by Cross Automation.

If you’re interested in learning more about the machine tending solutions Cross can provide for your business, we’d love to hear from you. Contact a Cross team member today and we’ll work directly with you to determine the best course of action to implement CNC tending robots and industrial automation applications.

Robotic Machine Tending Applications

Machine tending robots are typically able to produce a very quick return on investment. Cross has expertise tending a wide range of industrial machinery, including CNC, press brakes, injection molders, and laser etchers (just to name a few).

Cross automated machine tending robots are available in mobile or fixed configurations depending on your unique application needs, personnel, and production process.

If you’re looking for a machine tending automation company with documented results, you’ve come to the right place. Cross Automation has become a well-known name in many industries due to the value we provide to our customers. And we can provide that value to you, too.

The Cross Automated Machine Tending solution is designed to operate a CNC machine tending without constant manual operator interaction. In today’s tight labor market, it’s increasingly difficult to find workers and keep them in repetitive, dull jobs. With a quick ROI period, this solution frees up these workers to do more complicated tasks that can’t be done through automation.

Benefits of Industrial Automation

There are a number of benefits inherent in implementing industrial automation in your workplace, including automating machine tending. Through many of our integrations, we’ve seen huge improvements in day-to-day production processes from simply automating one component of a production line. And that’s proved to us that even implementing small automation applications leads to substantial improvements across the production process as a whole.

It’s impossible to ignore the effects industrial automation has had on the manufacturing industry. As more and more companies begin to adopt automation solutions for production processes, the effects are becoming more and more apparent.

Shifting from manual manufacturing methods to integrated automated systems leads to a reduction in manufacturing costs, a relatively quick return on investment, and an increased quality of work for employees. That quality of work can take the form of a safer workplace with employees not having to perform mindless, monotonous tasks that can lead to repetitive motion injury or poor quality control.

Manufacturers are adopting greater amounts of industrial automation by the day. Keep your business competitive, safe, and productive with Cross Automation.

Some of the benefits we’ve seen of integrating automation into production processes are:

Increased Production Rates

Higher Productivity Overall

Less Time and Material Waste

Improved Quality Control

Greater Workplace Safety

More Efficient Worker Utilization
