Schneider Electric has introduced the Lexium RL 3 and RL 12 cobots (collaborative robots). The comprehensive Lexium line enables high-speed motion and control of up to 130 axes from one processor for precise positioning to help solve manufacturer needs across industries, including warehouse/logistics.
Built on open automation standards and protocols, cobots offer flexibility, scalability, and third-party equipment integration. They can be applied to existing or new production lines in a variety of different industries.
Enhanced computing power, open software and networking technologies facilitate quicker assembly, installation and maintenance of robots. A centralized architecture with a unified programming platform using open standards promotes interoperability among automation systems, machines and robots.
Cobots perform well in harsh environments and can handle riskier operator tasks involving heavy weights to reduce accidents and injuries.
