Custom Test Machines
Automate Testing Processes With Cross
If your current internal process involves testing products manually, it may be time to think about a custom solution. Cross Company can develop and engineer a custom test machine for your unique process, taking into account production needs, throughput numbers, and facility layout. We review your existing internal, ISO, or ASTM test procedure in order to design a machine to automate your testing process. With extensive experience in measurement and gage R & R, you can be sure that the testing solution our team builds will provide you with accurate and repeatable measurement data.
Cross Company has provided custom solutions to the manufacturing world since our first integration project in the 50s (and that company is still a Cross customer). We have the experience and expertise to provide you with an automation solution that works for you, your people, and your ROI.

Raise the Quality of Your Product
Utilizing custom test equipment can help you reduce risk by eliminating the opportunity for human error in your process. Also, because data is collected automatically, you know that the data you are using to make manufacturing decisions is reliable. This helps reduce the risk of bad product leaving your facility. For the same reasons, custom test machines help to raise the quality of your product because you are able to catch issues in your process early. In addition, you can also improve efficiency by automating the process. Other benefits include
Quality Assurance
Test machines are critical in ensuring product quality by identifying defects, weaknesses, or malfunctions before bringing those products to market. With comprehensive testing and reliable equipment, manufacturers can minimize the risk of product failures, end user dissatisfaction, or potentially even costly recalls.
Cost Savings
With test machines customized to your production process, OEMs and other manufacturers can save costs by detecting issues early in the production process. By identifying the fixing these problems, costly reworks, warranty claims, and recalls can be avoided. This quality testing saves significant cost in the long-run.
Process Optimization
Testing machines can also provide valuable insights into manufacturing processes, allowing manufacturers to identify areas for improvement, production processes that can be optimized, and enhance overall efficiency. This also allows for data-driven decision making, which helps increase productivity and reduce waste.
