Rockwell iTRAK 5730 Review Summary
iTRAK is Rockwell's independent cart technology, the Allen-Bradley counterpart of other intelligent tracks. The 5730 is the small-frame member, positioned for removing bottlenecks inside machines such as cartoners and pouch fillers, where a fixed-pitch chain limits speed and makes format changes slow. A larger model, the iTRAK 5750, is positioned for higher payloads. The main argument for iTRAK is integration: it is programmed in the same Logix environment as the rest of a Rockwell-controlled machine.
Pros
Independent movers
Integrated with Rockwell control
Format change in software
Larger 5750 model available
Cons
Best suited to Rockwell-controlled machines
Who It Is For
It fits machine builders standardized on Rockwell Automation control.
