The Challenge
Maga Active needed to build an automated assembly machine for irrigation dripper insertion and drilling systems that offered higher throughput and greater precision than an existing fixed-pitch indexing-table solution, while taking up significantly less floor space.
The Solution
Maga Active deployed Rockwell Automation iTRAK Independent Cart Technology with 10 work stations, allowing movers to operate independently at up to 5 m/s with 0.5 mm accuracy. A CompactLogix PAC, PanelView Plus 7 HMI, Kinetix 350 servo drives, and TL-Series electric cylinders formed the Integrated Architecture.
Results
Throughput reached 180–205 pieces per minute compared to the slower incumbent system. The machine footprint was reduced by 40% compared to the replaced system. Accuracy was maintained at 0.5 mm even at maximum speed, with the platform set as the basis for future Maga Active machines targeting 220–230 ppm.
Key Takeaways
• Independent cart technology eliminates the single-point bottleneck of fixed-pitch indexing systems • Compact servo-based solutions can simultaneously improve throughput and reduce floor space • Integrated vision systems and servo assembly enable pass/fail quality inspection within the same machine footprint
