Obsolete air piping system? See how Cross solved the issue with Transair
Nordfab is an industry leader in duct products and clamp-together ducting for industrial ventilation. Recently, they began integrating a new air compressor in their facility in addition to their existing air pipe system. But as the project unfolded, Nordfab discovered their existing air piping systems were obsolete. This proved to be a challenge to integrating a new air compressor system.
To solve this problem, Cross Company paired with Nordfab to implement Parker’s Transair system, a leading solution known for its innovative design, versatility, durability, and ease of installation. This solution not only facilitated a seamless integration with the new compressor, but also set a new standard for Nordfab’s operational infrastructure.
Need to get more out of your old CMM? Upgrade it!
The structure of a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is built to measure for 20 years or more. But unfortunately, the control systems, electronics and software aren’t so long lasting. Not only will they need more and more maintenance and support but they can quickly become outdated as new technology is developed.
CMMs are also expensive pieces of capital equipment to replace which can be hard to justify. Not to mention the hassle of moving an old one out and the new one in! Fortunately, Cross Precision Measurement can help. For any brand of CMM, keep your existing hardware but upgrade to state-of-the-art electronics and control systems.

Accurate inventory control is critical throughout your business
Whether you’re checking inbound inventory, doing yearly inventory checks or counting components in production, accurate and efficient inventory control is critical to your business, especially as unit cost increases. Ohaus bench scales, checkweighers, floor scales and balances are reliable, accurate and affordable. They’ve got the right scale for every stage of your business: manufacturing, production and warehousing.
Optimizing your compressed air system can save on energy costs
An optimized compressed air system can mean substantial reductions in overall energy consumption, with industrial facilities saving 20-50% on average on their electric bill over 24 months. We recommend Parker’s Transair aluminum compressed air piping system to try and achieve these savings in your own facility. Read some of the key advantages of the Parker Transair System here.

We bring our own portable CMM to your facility at a time convenient for you and stay as long as you need us. We can also help with first article inspections (FAI), 3D scanning, fixture certification and more.
Cross Provides Tangible Value for You
Improve Efficiency
M4Knick has recently released the K25 4-electrode low conductivity sensor which is ideal for highly corrosive chemical processes. It has a large measuring range and an integrated temperature element which assures correct temperature compensation and accurate concentration measurement. The low-maintenance sensor can be mounted in virtually any orientation. Its compact design is ideal for multiple types of electrode holders.
Raise Quality
Need someone to train your team to use a Faro portable CMM or Polyworks? Contact the inspection team at Cross. As you can see from the article above, our inspection experts work with Faro arms daily and would be glad to train your team on the basics of using them.
Polyworks is fast becoming the industry standard for inspection software. It’s tremendously powerful and once you know how to use it, pretty intuitive. If your team needs training on Polyworks, we can help with that, too!
Improve Efficiency
Let’s face it, brand new dimensional measurement equipment is expensive! For some products and processes, it’s worth the money but for others, you need a more cost effective option. Cross Precision Measurement can help!
Over the past two years, we’ve been upgrading our Greenville, SC inspection lab. We’ve added new CMMs from LK and video measurement machines from OGP. As a result, we’re almost out of room!
To free up some floor space, we’re selling two of our older CMMs, a Wenzel LH65 and a Wenzel XO10.15.7.
