LRXplus SE: Side-entry concept sets new standards for space savings

With the new LRXplus SE linear robot, for the first time KraussMaffei will present a side-entry concept for demanding high-cavity and cleanroom applications with particularly short removal times at Fakuma 2026. The automation solution is based on the proven LRXplus platform and combines high dynamics with a compact system layout.

Within a small footprint, the LRXplus SE offers maximum flexibility in positioning as well as additional space for downstream processes such as quality control, packaging, or other medical technology peripherals. Reinforced axes and drives, optimized components, and a cleanroom-compatible design enable high removal speeds and payloads.

At Fakuma, a new all-electric PX 160 equipped with a 96-cavity mold from Männer by SPECTRIX will produce protective caps for insulin pens. The exhibit solution demonstrates the perfect synergy between precision mold making, an all-electric injection molding machine, and compact side-entry automation for efficient and sustainable production processes in medical technology – for example, through space savings and high ejection speeds.
