Rockwell buys US-based MagneMotion to extend its linear transport portfolio

摘要

ROCKWELL AUTOMATION is buying MagneMotion, the US manufacturer of intelligent conveying systems, for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition will complement Rockwell's iTrak linear transport system - which it acquired when it bought Jacobs Automation in 2013 - to create what Rockwell calls "the broadest portfolio of independent cart solutions" in this emerging technology area.
