From single-axis machines to high-performance, multi-axis cobots, the Lexium line enables high-speed motion and control of up to 130 axes from one processor. This enables precise positioning to help solve manufacturer production, flexibility, and sustainability challenges, said the company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs U.S. manufacturing increases, the demand for smart machines is growing, and customers are requiring robots with digital twin capabilities that validate machine performance to help them quickly increase production consistently, efficiently, and sustainably,\u201d stated Christine Bush, leader of the Robotics Center of Excellence at Schneider Electric.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are partnering with our customers to understand their challenges and pain points, then responding with complete, customized automation solutions \u2013 from power products and HMIs [human-machine interfaces] to PLCs [programmable logic controllers] and robotics \u2013 to simplify the process and meet their needs,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to robots, Schneider Electric said it offers digitally engineered automation from concept to operation and maintenance.

The cobots range in price from $27,368 to $41,170.<\/p>\n<p>The Lexium Cobot product line is compatible with EcoStruxure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.se.com\/us\/en\/product-range\/97196554-ecostruxure-machine-expert-twin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Machine Expert Twin<\/a>, a software suite that creates digital models of real machines. It allows for virtual test strategies and commissioning, as well as shortened factory acceptance testing (FAT).<\/p>\n<p>Digitizing these processes can reduce time-to-market by up to 50% and commissioning time by up to 60%, according to Schneider Electric. A 20% to 40% savings in investment costs can also be realized due to faster time to market, the company claimed.<\/p>\n<p>Robot assembly, installation, and maintenance are faster with increased computational power, open software, and networking, it said. Software and automation work together using a centralized architecture and open-standard programming platform.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to fast deployment, collaborative robots allow for more ergonomic work, easier integration with existing equipment and processes, and consistent output for higher product quality, said Schneider Electric. It also cited the benefit of reduced workplace strain and injuries.<\/p>\n<p>For U.S. manufacturers to stay globally competitive, they must modernize processes by embracing the digitization of Industry 4.0, which includes advances in AI, machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), and digital twins, said Schneider Electric. The latest software can help makers develop new ideas quickly, cut down on working time, and meet shifting customer demand, it noted.<\/p>\n<p>As the business world moves toward Industry 5.0, Lexium&#8217;s motion and robot solutions will likely change the way things are done and make personalized automated manufacturing possible.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-568305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therobotreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/RSE24_728x90_RegOpen_Vs1.jpg\" alt=\"SITE AD for the 2024 Robotics Summit registration.\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roboticssummit.com\/\">Learn from Agility Robotics, Amazon, Disney, Teradyne and many more.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Schneider Electric unveils Lexium cobots at MODEX 2024, offering high-speed motion, 130 axe control, and cost-effective pricing, utilizing EcoStruxure architecture for collaborative data flow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":832,"featured_media":578124,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rbr50_analysis":"","rbr50_state":"","rbr50_country":"","rbr50_description":"","rbr50_numemps":"","rbr50_text_taxonomy_radio":null,"rbr50_text_taxonomy_select":null,"rbr50_url":"","rbr50_yearfounded":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1274,1349,2020,1401,2039,1293],"tags":[465,3554],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
