Palletizing is More than Just Stacking Boxes

There are a number of common pitfalls associated with palletizing which our customers may not be aware of.
First, the things happening upstream from your palletizer can make or break the application.
If you aren’t able to reliably pack and seal the boxes before they reach the palletizer it can cause serious issues. We have developed our own custom reject station to pair with our palletizing solutions to ensure that only properly packed and sealed boxes are palletized.
Another common issue in palletizing is finding the right end of arm tool (EOAT) for the application. The team at Cross Automation are experts in EOATs. Whether it’s finding the perfect off the shelf solution or working with our vendors to design and manufacture a custom EOAT for your unique application, we are here to help.

In-motion, Legal for Trade Rail Scale for Bulk Chemical Application
A multinational chemical producer needed to be able to weigh their bulk rail cars without having to stop the train itself. They also needed the weight to be a verified legal-for-trade, for buying and selling. Cross Precision Measurement helped them to avoid overloading and account for every penny of the load.
