Lexium™ MC12 multi carrier

A carrier system of a new generation, providing a new level of ease in application and operation:

Easy to design and to integrate in machines:

• Configuration tool simplifies design
• Simulation tool for test with a digital twin
• Simple to assemble, can be done on-site
• No special parts for fixing and adjusting of segments or rails
• No wiring
• Vertical mounting height aligned with standard conveyors

More leeway for designing machines with even less footprint:

• Full positioning accuracy on straight lines and curves, no restrictions of actions on straight lines
• Open space in the loop, robots or mechatronic elements of the process; must not be placed outside

Easy to integrate in the PacDrive 3 based automation solutions for motion centric machines, less time to market thanks to:

• A single controller and a single machine program for logic, motion, robotics and multi carrier
• A single engineering tool for the complete machine
• Library functions support fast creation of the solution

Simplified operation/maintenance will convince your customers:

• Toolless mounting and demounting of carrier units, hot swappable
• Robust mechanics (e.g. carrier rolls, guidance)
• Service friendly through single segment change and toolless carrier change
• Auto configuring of replaced segments/additional carriers thanks to management of all motion components, robots and the multi carrier in a centralized hardware configuration in the controller and thanks to electronic name plates
• Fast restart / start-up of machine by carrier position recognition
• Format change on the fly with seamless camming adjustment and application libraries
• Embedded system monitoring of each carrier and segment through EcoStruxure Machine Advisor
