Machine Tending for Quality Inspection
Did you know you can pair a collaborative robot with a video measurement machine or CMM to automate your inspection process? With a relatively quick ROI period, the Cross robotic machine tending solution frees up the quality team to do more productive tasks or tasks that may not lend themselves to automation. This leads to an increase in worker productivity, retention, and safety. It also increases your productivity, which improves your bottom line.
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 Not only will they need more and more maintenance and support but they can quickly become outdated as new technology is developed.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.

Improve Efficiency
Sanitary compressed air distribution piping is a necessary component in medical device manufacturing and has the potential for immense energy savings. A well-designed, optimized compressed air system can save from 20-50% on overall energy consumption over 24 months.
Parker’s Transair aluminum compressed air piping system is modular, easy to install, optimizes flow and energy usage and preserves potential energy.
Raise Quality
Cross partner Clippard recently created a custom pinch valve solution for a medical device company that was having difficulties with their line of dialysis machines. The custom valves reduced the failure rate during manufacturing and in the field.
