Herochu Automated Sheet Metal Storage System
Purpose-Built Automatic Laser Cutting Storage & Warehousing for Bodor Fiber Laser Cutting Machine
Custom Configuration from $12,288 | CE-UE-ISO 9001 Certified
Unlock true lights-out productivity for your Bodor fiber laser with the Herochu Automated Sheet Metal Storage System—an end-to-end material warehouse engineered to keep your cutting head running while you focus on winning more jobs. Whether you cut 1 mm aluminum or 25 mm mild steel, this tower-style storage and automatic load/unload solution feeds your Bodor laser 24/7 with zero manual lifting, zero double-sheet errors and zero production gaps.
Designed specifically for Bodor fiber lasers
Every Herochu tower is dimension-matched to the 3015, 4015, 4020, 6015, 6020 or 6025 mm table sizes used across the Bodor range. Bolt-on adapters align the tower conveyor with Bodor shuttle tables in under four hours, eliminating costly on-site fabrication. The result is a plug-and-play upgrade that turns your existing Bodor laser into an autonomous cutting cell without voiding the OEM warranty.
Key automation advantages
- High automation: PLC-controlled tower orchestrates sheet loading, unloading, scrap separation and inventory tracking in one seamless cycle
- Time-saving: simultaneous cut/load/unload keeps the Bodor laser above 90 % beam-on time—even during shift changes
- Uninterrupted workflow: automatic sheet warehousing supports true lights-out manufacturing for high-volume or JIT orders
- Precision & reliability: integrated thickness gauge and double-sheet detection protect the laser head and guarantee consistent edge quality
Sheet metal automatic storage unit—store, identify, retrieve
Centralized plate warehouse: incoming sheets are bar-coded, weighed and stored by alloy, thickness and due date.
Visual management: 12-inch HMI touchscreen delivers real-time inventory, job queues and predictive maintenance alerts at a glance.
Smart retrieval: chain-driven lift travels at 9 m/min while in/out shuttles move at 12 m/min—fast enough to stage the next sheet before the Bodor table clears.
Flexible payload: choose 3 T or 5 T per layer; floor count is fully customizable to your ceiling height and throughput targets.

Installation & ROI
Because no two workshops are identical, Herochu tailors every tower around your column spacing, aisle width and ceiling height. Customization starts at just $12,288 and includes 3-D layout simulation, CE-compliant documentation and on-site commissioning. Typical payback is 8–14 months through labor reduction, increased laser utilization and near-zero sheet damage.
