A manufacturing machine for the production of disposable cartridges; the manufacturing machine comprises: a moving conveyor, which moves a plurality of first seats, each designed to house a corresponding cartridge, along a horizontal moving path; and at least one controlling unit, which is arranged along the moving conveyor as to carry out a quality check of at least one cartridge housed in a respective first seat; the manufacturing machine is characterized in that the controlling unit comprises: a control drum, which is mounted so as to rotate, in a stepped manner, around a vertical rotation axis perpendicular to the moving path and feeds at least a second seat, which is designed to grab a corresponding cartridge, along an annular control path and through an exchange station, in which the second seat overlaps a first seat; and a first control device, which is designed to carry out a control on a cartridge and is arranged in a first control station, which is located along the control path downstream of the exchange station and at a given distance from the moving conveyor; wherein the rotation of the control drum feeds the second seat through the exchange station, where the second seat picks up a cartridge from a first seat, through the first control station, where the first control device carries out a control on the cartridge carried by the second seat, and - again - through the exchange station, where the second seat releases the cartridge to a first seat. a moving conveyor, which moves a plurality of first seats, each designed to house a corresponding cartridge, along a horizontal moving path; and at least one controlling unit, which is arranged along the moving conveyor as to carry out a quality check of at least one cartridge housed in a respective first seat; the manufacturing machine is characterized in that the controlling unit comprises: a control drum, which is mounted so as to rotate, in a stepped manner, around a vertical rotation axis perpendicular to the moving path and feeds at least a second seat, which is designed to grab a corresponding cartridge, along an annular control path and through an exchange station, in which the second seat overlaps a first seat; and a first control device, which is designed to carry out a control on a cartridge and is arranged in a first control station, which is located along the control path downstream of the exchange station and at a given distance from the moving conveyor; wherein the rotation of the control drum feeds the second seat through the exchange station, where the second seat picks up a cartridge from a first seat, through the first control station, where the first control device carries out a control on the cartridge carried by the second seat, and - again - through the exchange station, where the second seat releases the cartridge to a first seat. a control drum, which is mounted so as to rotate, in a stepped manner, around a vertical rotation axis perpendicular to the moving path and feeds at least a second seat, which is designed to grab a corresponding cartridge, along an annular control path and through an exchange station, in which the second seat overlaps a first seat; and a first control device, which is designed to carry out a control on a cartridge and is arranged in a first control station, which is located along the control path downstream of the exchange station and at a given distance from the moving conveyor; wherein the rotation of the control drum feeds the second seat through the exchange station, where the second seat picks up a cartridge from a first seat, through the first control station, where the first control device carries out a control on the cartridge carried by the second seat, and - again - through the exchange station, where the second seat releases the cartridge to a first seat.
