Lexium servo bundle optimised for compact machines
Schneider Electric is launching servo bundle that has been optimised for a wide range of machine applications. Comprising the Lexium 28 servo drive and Lexium BCH2 servo motor, the bundle offers customers the advantages of out-of-the-box integration, optimised functionality and performance, embedded safety, reduced cost and enhanced energy efficiency.
Lexium 28 servo drives offer a performance range of 0.05-4.5kW. They use CANopen, CANmotion and a pulse train interface for easy connection to controllers without a fieldbus network.
These servo drives are parameterised and commissioned using a Modbus interface. Thanks to speed and torque control functions, and an integrated autotuning algorithm, they are suitable for use in a wide variety of machine applications.
In addition, with an embedded Safe Torque Off (STO) function, the servo drive can be used in safety-related parts of control systems rated up to SIL 2/PL d (Safety Integrity Level 2, Performance Level d). Lexium 28 units can also be customised with a range of accessories, including power filters, braking resistors and other accessories for easier installation and commissioning.
When combined with Lexium BCH2 servo motors, the Lexium 28 servo drives are suitable for applications including machine tools, packaging machines and handling systems. BCH2 motors, which are available with different inertia levels, cover a performance range of 0.05-4.5kW in six flange sizes: 40, 60, 80, 100, 130 and 180mm.
