Lexium MC12

Lexium MC12 is a multi‑carrier linear transport system designed for industrial machines requiring speed, flexibility, and precision. Based on segmented linear‑motor technology, it enables multiple shuttles to move independently on the same track, with individual control of speed, position, and synchronization. This architecture paves the way for compact, responsive machines capable of handling multi‑format production without heavy mechanical modifications. The MC12 relies on magnetic propulsion to deliver rapid acceleration, smooth motion, and high positioning accuracy. Shuttles can travel at high speeds, be synchronized, or operate independently depending on process requirements. They can execute complex motion profiles such as parallel movements, grouping, separation, timed flows, controlled accumulation, or variable‑speed transport. These capabilities allow the system to replace traditional mechanical mechanisms such as conveyors, cams, or indexers while offering greater sequencing possibilities. Integrating the MC12 into a Schneider Electric automation architecture enables efficient control via dedicated industrial controllers. High‑speed communication ensures fine synchronization between shuttles, adjacent electric axes, and workstation modules (robots, screwdrivers, dosing systems, quality‑control modules). The system provides stable coordination even at high throughput, which is essential for assembly, packaging, or fast‑handling lines. The modular rail design allows the track layout to be configured according to application needs: straight sections, curves, work zones, or transfer segments. Shuttles are equipped with integrated sensors that provide real‑time feedback on position, speed, and force, enabling diagnostics and predictive maintenance. Modules can be replaced or extended quickly, ensuring easy scalability for production changes or capacity increases. The mechanical performance of the MC12 supports various loads depending on the configuration wh
