The Lexium SCARA offers quick and accurate movements. This makes it ideal for use in manufacturing and assembly processes including machine loading and unloading, pick-and-place, packaging and material handling applications.

Said to be some forty percent smaller in size than other robots in the same category, it is a cost-effective operation that optimises floor space utilization, automating repetitive tasks to drive production line efficiency.

Fully able to integrate with a unified control system, when combined with Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Machine Expert Twin digital twin solution, it can also be virtually designed and tested prior to implementation, helping to reduce CAPEX and OPEX costs and prevent project scheduling issues and budget overruns.

Maximum work area with smallest footprint

Schneider Electric says the Lexium SCARA boasts one of the largest work areas (40% longer z-arm stroke than other products in its class on the market) within the smallest SCARA robot footprint available (40% smaller than other products in its class on the market).

These ultra-compact robots maximise valuable floor space, minimise mounting space and electrical cabinet while offering high speed and accuracy. It can lead to cost savings and minimising the need for expensive facility modifications.

Simple compact all-in-one solution

With integrated motors and a built-in controller, the Lexium SCARA simplifies installation, reduces wiring, saves space, and improves performance due to shorter cable runs. Additionally, it simplifies integration without requiring specialized robotics knowledge, allowing operators to change settings easily.

Easy multi-robot orchestration

The Lexium SCARA seamlessly integrates into a unified control system, encompassing a range of smart automation products such as Delta, Cartesian and SCARA robotic solutions, along with high-precision motors and advanced control algorithms, all of which enable precise tracking mechanisms and facilitate multi robots' orchestration. With a digital twin at the core, robotic systems can be virtually designed and tested before real-world implementation.

Easy upgrade to IP65 with accessories

Upgrade your SCARA robot with specific accessory kits to easily maintain its IP65 protection, offering flexibility and cost efficiency. This adaptability allows the robot to be tailored to various working conditions without the need to initially purchase a separate IP65 version, potentially reducing upfront costs.
