Schneider Electric has improved and simplified its motion control offer with the launch of its Lexium 32 range of three servo drives and two servo motor types. The new simplified drive range comes in a compact book style, offering maximum efficiency in a reduced space.
The Lexium 32 range has been developed to meet OEM architectures, with advanced tuning features and motors with a wide machine inertia. Applications span a wide range of machinery including printing, textiles, packaging and material working and handling.
These new products also work seamlessly with the new book style Altivar 32 range of variable speed drives due to be launched by Schneider Electric in April and which will feature at the Drives & Controls exhibition in June.
A key feature of the new Lexium range is its compact book size which sees the servo drive in combination with the servo motor, delivering maximum power in the minimum area, saving up to 50 per cent of the space in the machine control cabinet. With its breadth of fieldbus communication and encoder cards, the Lexium 32 range adapts to a wide variety of current architectures.
The three servo drive options are the 32C (compact) for simpler machines, 32A (advanced) for motion centric applications and 32M (modular) for PLC-centric applications. The two servo motor ranges, the BMH and BSH, are designed to meet demands for high performance, power and simplicity of use in motion control applications in power ratings between 0.15 and 7 kW.
The Lexium 32 servo drive offer is designed to simplify the life cycle of machines. It is integrated into the Schneider Electric automation tool, SoMachine for efficient machine engineering, with side-by-side mounting and colour-coded plug-in connectors making installation, set up and maintenance easier. Maintenance is also made quicker with new duplication and back-up tools. Improved performance is delivered by the optimised motor control, which reduces vibration with automatic parameter calculation, speed observer and additional band-stop filter which combine to increase machine productivity.
