RS offers Schneider Electric's Lexium product portfolio, which combines mechanical, electrical and PLC logic devices-including cobots-with intuitive software to provide end-to-end integrated smart manufacturing solutions for use in automotive, electronics, consumer packaged goods, metal, machinery, life science, logistics and warehouse applications.

When coupled with advanced digitization and automation technologies, cobots can leverage the constant, real-time data-sharing capabilities of all the connected devices in their network to automate and optimize manufacturing processes, reduce or replace operator workloads, and improve process performance, quality, agility, consistency, efficiency and safety. The Lexium product portfolio from Schneider Electric is especially designed to enable these types of fully integrated smart manufacturing systems. Schneider Electric's Lexium cobots, for instance, are designed to work alongside humans as part of fully integrated robotics systems that improve productivity and efficiency and reduce unplanned downtime.

According to the company, Lexium cobots are designed to provide a number of advantages, including:

• Lexium cobots exhibit high position accuracy and accurate joint servo control and reliably perform monotonous, tedious, repetitive and physically challenging tasks.
• Ranging from just 3 kg to 18 kg (~6.5 lbs. to 40 lbs.), Lexium cobots require 30-40% less space than traditional robotic cells.
• Lexium cobots withstand the hazards of challenging industrial environments with standard IP54 and optional IP68 sealing.
• Lexium cobots are equipped with a series of sensors to avoid collisions with human workers and programmed to stop immediately in the event of unexpected contact, which enables harmless collaboration with humans and negates the need for safety barriers. They also have rounded edges, force limits, light weights and optional visual protection and precise form control. Electrical safety certifications include UL1740. Functional safety certifications include ISO 13849-1, ANSI/RIA R15.06, CAN/CSA Z434, NFPA79 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.14.
• Lexium cobots support plug & play functionality and teach-in, free-drive and graphical programming, which makes set-up accessible to operators with virtually any skill level rather than just those with advanced computer programming skills.
• Lexium cobots utilize open software and hardware platforms, support External Short Messaging Entity (ESME) function blocks, vision systems and digital twin capabilities to reduce commissioning time and ease implementation.
• Lexium cobots support wireless connections with tablets, a wide range of fieldbuses and iOS, Android and Windows platforms.
• Lexium cobots are designed to support the needs of multiple projects. They can engage in cooperative and collaborative work and are easy to move, reinstall and reprogram.
• Lexium cobots are especially suited for use in small- and medium-sized businesses within the automotive, electronics and food and beverage manufacturing, metals, machining, life science, logistics and warehouse industries. Applications include pick & place, assembly, loading and unloading, dispensing, inspection, quality testing, machine tending, bin picking, packaging, palletizing, material handling, gluing, welding, painting, polishing, screw-driving and soldering.

Other Schneider Electric products that enable fully integrated Lexium robotics systems include high-performance multi-axis machines and dynamic servo drive technology designed to enable high-speed motion and precise positioning and software designed to unite system components into a suite of connected products.
