The Lexium Cobot RL3 from Schneider Electric is at the forefront of the next generation of collaborative robotics. With six degrees of freedom, a working radius of 626 mm and a payload capacity of up to 3 kg, it is ideal for use in dynamic manufacturing environments. Thanks to its compact design and weight of just 12 kg, the robot arm can easily be moved, reinstalled and integrated into various projects, without being limited to a single task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seamless integration thanks to open interfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/span>The RL3’s connectivity is designed for maximum flexibility. The cobot can be seamlessly integrated into modern automation networks via protocols such as Modbus TCP\/IP, Ethernet\/IP, OPC UA and MQTT. Programming is user-friendly, either via an intuitive graphical interface or by imitation using the teach function, making it ideal for quick commissioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on safety and ergonomics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to integrated safety functions such as collision detection, torque monitoring and safe force limitation, the Lexium RL3 robot can work alongside humans without the need for a protective fence. This reduces workplace accidents and effectively automates monotonous and physically demanding tasks. This improves workplace ergonomics and provides lasting relief for operating personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wide range of applications in industry and education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The RL3 is used for a variety of industrial tasks, including pick-and-place operations, gluing, assembly work, and packaging and testing processes. It is also being used increasingly in research facilities and training centres for practical training in Industry 4.0, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highest precision with compact design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With repeatability of \u00b10.02 mm and movement speeds of up to 1.5 m\/s, the RL3 meets the strictest accuracy and efficiency requirements. Its robust, durable aluminium housing with IP54 protection is designed for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
