Schneider Electric recently released the third product in its latest generation of its "Golden Four" comprehensive solution for machine motion control: the Lexium 18ME servo drive and BEH18 servo motor series. As part of the Lexium 18M servo drive series, the Lexium 18ME supports EtherCAT communication and, together with the pulse-controlled Lexium 18MP servo drive system, provides efficient motion control solutions for industries such as semiconductors, electronics, material processing, and packaging.
Excellent Performance, Precision Manufacturing
The Lexium 18ME servo drive and BEH18 servo motor series, part of the Lexium 18M family, offer an optimal balance of productivity, efficiency, and cost reduction. This series is particularly well-suited for manufacturing processes requiring high precision and reliability, meeting the stringent accuracy and stability requirements of precision manufacturing industries such as semiconductor production. Featuring a 3.2kHz velocity loop bandwidth and dynamic response, they ensure that high-precision production processes can be completed in the shortest possible time.
In addition, the system features a built-in dynamic braking function, and all electronic components are coated with high-performance conformal coating to effectively extend service life. Furthermore, the Lexium 18ME series offers excellent electromagnetic interference (EMC) resistance, ensuring stable and reliable operation even in noisy environments.
Optimized Local Adaptability for Easier Installation
To better adapt to the needs of the Chinese market, the Lexium 18ME series has been optimized for voltage selection, power range, and installation methods. The series supports a wide range of voltage options, including AC 220V (200W-750W) and AC 380V (1kW-7.5kW), better meeting the power supply needs of domestic users. The system offers 10 power levels, ranging from 0.1kW to 7.5kW, to meet the needs of various application scenarios.
The Lexium 18ME product also offers software features such as position comparison, friction compensation, and mechanical characteristic analysis. These features simplify the commissioning process, reduce communication delays, and improve system response speed.

Easy Installation and Flexible Adaptability
The Lexium 18ME series is designed with ease of installation in mind, reducing the need for additional transformers and thus lowering costs and space requirements. It supports multiple mounting options, allowing for flexible selection based on different mounting spacings, reducing installation complexity and time.
Regarding servo motors, the BEH18 motor is more compact than its predecessor. Motors with flange sizes below 80 mm also support two cable outlet directions, further enhancing adaptability and convenience in practical applications.
Excellent Performance in High-Precision Applications
The Lexium 18ME servo drive and BEH18 servo motor series have demonstrated outstanding performance in certain high-precision process applications. For example, after upgrading their manufacturing equipment, an electronics customer achieved control standards of ±0.01mm machining accuracy, 30m/s² acceleration/deceleration, and 60ms positioning delay using this system, significantly improving machining accuracy, acceleration/deceleration, and positioning delay.
This product series offers significant application value and practical significance for industries such as precision manufacturing, automated logistics, and packaging.
As part of the "Golden Four" solution
The Lexium 18ME and BEH18 series are part of Schneider Electric's "Golden Four" comprehensive solution, which also includes the Altivar 305 universal inverter, the Harmony ET5 human-machine interface, and the soon-to-be-released Modicon M310M motion controller. These four products work together to achieve efficient and coordinated operations in industries such as logistics, packaging, lithium batteries, semiconductors, and textiles, improving overall equipment motion control performance.
Conclusion
Schneider Electric's Lexium 18ME servo drive and BEH18 servo motor series, with their superior performance, flexible local adaptability, and easy installation, meet the high-precision and high-efficiency motion control needs of modern industry. As part of the "Golden Four," they play a key role in promoting precision manufacturing and intelligent production processes, helping companies maintain their leading position in the fiercely competitive market.
Schneider Electric will continue to uphold its innovative philosophy, providing higher-quality products and solutions tailored to the needs of the Chinese market, helping companies achieve efficient transformation and high-quality development.
