yes. GS has a good write up on it. If they fall off moms back you can put them in a delicup with moist paper towels just moist enough to touch not soaking and add heat. It's an incubator of sorts. But dont pull babies off moms back if you dont have too....i dont know what this has to do with you title. You want to remove the babies to breed again?

Thanks!
No no, i'll not remove the babies, but sometimes one or another fell off. Usually it works well put the new born in the back of the mother or another scorpion with babies, but sometimes, in collective vivariums, we have a lot of new borns in the ground... And every new born dead is a huge loss, because we produce anti venom serum....
I've tried put in a incubator like cup, but the animal usually die.

Usually people have had success...not 100% but still pretty high success with that technique. It does have to be done ASAP. Good luck.

Here's a method of a german breeder described that should work better then the paper towels method.
It's all in german but i think google will help you with the translation ;-)

Correct me if I am wrong, does "this" mean there are more than one brooding mother in one vivarium?

If so, I suggest separate a gravid female and let her pop in isolation. Chances are, there are other female who'll be munching on slings, which can add to your loss. Plus the stress factor.

Hope this helps.
