Schneider Electric Lexium 32 servo drives with servo motors (right), provide machine builders exceptional performance, an unprecedented level of sophistication and outstanding power in a motion control solution, the company said. With three models to choose from, selection and use throughout a machine's lifecycle is easier. Costs are minimized by reducing cabinet space, time-to-market and interoperability into new or existing architectures.

"Machine builders in industries like printing, packaging, textiles and material handling need solutions that are productive, fast and easy to implement," says Jeff Jervah, business director for automation & drive solutions for Schneider Electric.

Jervah said, "The Lexium 32 servo drive range gives users the flexibility to select the drive and motor combination they need based on their machine's power, performance and functionality requirements, at a price point in line with the budget restrictions many machine builders now face."

The Lexium 32 servo drive range simplifies selection and adapts to various machine needs by offering three book-size servo drive models: the Lexium 32 Compact, Lexium 32 Advanced and Lexium 32 Modular. These servo drives are complemented by two motor families - the medium-inertia Lexium BMH and the low-inertia Lexium BSH. Each combination offers specific benefits and flexibility.

At a power density of nearly 550 Watts/L, the Lexium 32 servo drives are extremely compact and save users control cabinet space which reduces the machine footprint and decreases costs. They also feature optimized direct side-by-side cabinet mounting, an overload capacity of 400%, and enhanced motor control features such as vibration reduction, jerk limitation, two notch filters and other functions to optimize the life of the machine.

The products help machine builders reduce time-to-market, says Jervah. "This starts with proven tools for motor sizing, CAD and cabinet drawings. We then added PLCopen libraries, user-friendly commissioning software and integrated auto tuning functionality. All of this is in addition to the physical modification made to simplify wiring and installation."
