Jacobs Automation

Jacobs Automation, manufacturer of the iTRAK® system, has brought motion control technology into the next generation. Through their collaboration with Rockwell Automation, Jacobs is able to provide global machine builders the highest quality, most efficient linear transport system on the market today. Tight integration between Rockwell’s Integrated Architecture system and the iTRAK® system results in the most innovative motion solution seen since the introduction of rotary servo motors. The iTRAK® system provides independent control of magnetically propelled movers on straight and curved paths of varying length using Jacobs’ patented variable pitch technology. The basic ‘building block structure’ of iTRAK® allows for a multitude of different configurations and applications. By replacing traditional hardware components with simple, effective software profiles, the iTRAK® system provides customers a low-maintenance, high performance motion solution.
