Rockwell Automation Australia independent cart technology

Independent cart technology uses magnets to precisely control motion with frictionless propulsion. The result is fewer parts to worry about, reduced energy consumption and the ability to quickly start and stop loads without losing control or putting wear on parts.

Curved or straight sections of track can be combined in endless combinations to suit the user’s design and space requirements. Once built, changeovers can be as simple as selecting a different software-configured move profile.

Each cart in the system is its own intelligently controlled axis of motion. That means that the carts can speed up or slow down based on where other carts are in the system. The system also tracks what each cart is moving, so there’s no need to slow down for sortation. This results in fewer bottlenecks and increased output.

All Rockwell Automation’s motors and carts are IP65 rated or higher and modular, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. They can be purchased as a customised, fully assembled unit, as individual components or as a mix of custom and standard parts.
