How does a vertical offcut rack improve laser cutting machine utilization?
By placing remnant storage at the point of use, the rack reduces the dead time between jobs. Operators retrieve a usable offcut in under two minutes instead of waiting for a forklift or searching a floor pile. The laser spends more time cutting and less time waiting for material.
What sheet sizes does the Herochu HC-V2513-8 handle?
2500×1000 mm. The HC-V3015-8 handles 3000×1500 mm. Both accept customized layer counts and clear spacing to match the shop’s remnant profile.
Can the rack store stainless and aluminum on the same unit?
Yes. Tier count and spacing are customizable by material type, allowing physical separation by grade and thickness. This prevents cross-contamination and makes alloy-specific retrieval faster.
Is the rack certified for industrial safety?
Herochu vertical remnant racks are CE certified and manufactured under ISO 9001 quality controls. The frame is reinforced carbon steel with powder-coated anti-rust finish, engineered for continuous workshop duty.
Can a mobile remnant rack handle the same load as a fixed rack?
Yes. Herochu’s mobile units use the same reinforced carbon steel frame and drawer mechanism as the stationary HC-V series, with per-layer capacity up to 1000 kg. Mobility is added through the wheel base without reducing structural strength.
What is the advantage of a mobile rack over a fixed rack?
A mobile rack follows the work. When the laser cell, press brake, or high-mix job moves to a different part of the workshop, the remnant storage moves with it. Fixed racks lose relevance when the floor plan changes; mobile racks stay at the point of use.
Does the mobile rack fit standard sheet sizes?
Herochu configures the rack to the shop’s sheet format. Common sizes include 2500×1000 mm, 3000×1500 mm, and customized dimensions. The drawer surface accommodates irregular remnants within those formats without requiring standardized stacking.
How does the rack prevent remnant damage during movement?
Non-skid strips hold the material in place on the drawer surface, and the drawer contains the remnant within a steel frame rather than allowing it to lean or stack against other pieces. This reduces surface scratching, edge damage, and the handling loss that degrades remnant value.
For a metal workshop where the only constant is change, storage should be as adaptable as the production schedule. Herochu’s mobile vertical remnant rack keeps offcuts organized, visible, and within reach—wherever the work happens to be this month.
