The Lexium motion controllers, the Lexium 05 und Lexium 15 servo drives and the BSH and BDH servo motors offer a powerful and cost-effective solution package for motion control applications > Lexium PAC.

The Lexium motion controller ensures the synchronisation of the axes via a motion bus and is suitable for applications involving the control of up to 8 synchronised axes. Function modules facilitate programming of the axes to be synchronised. This way, technology functions such as flying saw, rotating knife, grouping/separating and tensioning can be easily implemented with torque control mode.

An Ethernet and a Modbus interface are available for networking with master systems. In addition, a DeviceNet slave or a Profibus-DP slave is offered. As a CANopen master, the LMC can coordinate uo to 32 drives or control slave devices such as I/O modules.

The TLCC motion controller features a powerful, integrated soft PLC. Ethernet TCP/IP with OPC server or Profibus DP are used for networking with hosts. The motion controller is suitable for all applications requiring coordinated motion, such as pick & place, handling, mounting, testing, measuring, supplying, stacking, palletising and format.

TLM 2 is a powerful multi-axis motion controller with integrated soft PLC. The controller can synchronously control up to four drives via pulse/direction interfaces. Ethernet TCP/IP with OPC server or Profibus DP are used for networking with hosts. As a CANopen master, the controller can coordinate up to 126 drives or slave devices such as I/O modules. Special feature of TLM 2: NC interpolation of up to four drives, e.g. for motion in gluing, cutting, axis portals and XY table applications and all technology applications such as cam disc, cam switch and angle-synchronous mode.

The SMC motion controller with integrated soft PLC is the ideal solution for controlling simple motion sequences; for example in automated production cells and in all applications requiring coordinated motion. As an autonomous process module, SMC can coordinate up to 32 drives or control devices such as I/O modules. Special benefit: due to the very compact design, SMC requires minimum space in the control cabinet.

Lexium 05 is a compact servo drive for AC synchronous servo motors up to 6 kW. The Autotuning function allows for simple setting of the controller parameters. The standard version of the servo drive comes with two fieldbus interfaces (CANopen and Modbus), a signal interface with two analogue +/-10 V inputs and 8 digital inputs/outputs, an interface for pulse/direction or A/B signal inputs or encoder simulation. This way, the drive can be used in various system environments. Mains filter, ballast resistor and the safety function "Safe stop" (stop according to categories 0 and 1 as per EN60204-1) are integrated.

Lexium 15 servo drives and servo motors are dynamic drives for machines of various power classes and supply voltages. This line of devices was specially designed for torque, velocity and position control of BSH and BDH servo motors. The combination of motor and drive is particularly suitable for applications involving high-precision, dynamic positioning.

The SD3 is a universally applicable stepper drive. Reference values are typically preset and monitored by a higher level PLC or a motion controller. A very compact and high-performance drive system has been created in combination with the 3-phase stepper motors by Schneider Electric Motion.

Schneider Electric Motion brushless DC drive systems are an economical solution for many movement tasks. With compact and powerful motors and matching drives they offer a wide range of options in device technology and industrial automation.

Based on our comprehensive product ranges of motors, power electronics, positioning controllers systems and axis systems, Schneider Electric Motion can offer complete solutions exactly customised to specific requirements. The combination of motors and controllers as positioning modules in axis systems results in high-precision and powerful Cartesian robots for single- or multi-axis positioning tasks.

Schneider Electric Motion offers both single- and multi-dimensional Cartesian robots:

Linear modules: linear tables, cantilever, portal and telescope axes
Dual- and triple-axis systems: linear positioning systems, linear robots, portal robots and wall-mounted robots
Low-mass systems
All linear modules can be combined. They are modular and compatible with ITEM profiles. Several axes may be combined to form handling systems with perfectly tuned components.

The new portal axes with toothed belt or ballscrew drive

The new portal axes PAS are available with toothed belt or ballscrew drive in various sizes. They are designed for loads of up to 100 kg. The new generation of products is characterised by the fact that the same adaptation interfaces are used for all units, irrespective of the guide and drive system. Highly flexible drive interfaces ensure easy mounting and modifications as well as service. A metal cover reliably covers the inside of the axis body for application in rough environments.

Consulting

The descriptions of the single- or multi-axis systems detail the most important design criteria, e.g. load or stroke. In some cases, however, the design process and calculations can be very extensive and time-consuming. Schneider Electric Motion offers free, no-obligation consulting

Schneider Electric Motion actuators position flaps, valves or sliders with great precision. The compact actuator housing contains a motor, a gearbox and a control unit. Three different types of actuators are available to respond to your specific positioning challenge:

STE = electronic actuator
STA = actuator with cams and relais
STM = actuator with cams
