Why Herochu’s Laser Cutting Loading and Unloading System? Certifications & Reliability You Can Trust

System Composition: A Fully Integrated Automatic Production Unit

Herochu’s Laser Cutting Machine Loading and Unloading System isn’t a single tool—it’s a cohesive ecosystem of components working in perfect sync to handle every step of material flow, from storage to sorting. Here’s what makes up this game-changing setup:

Three-Dimensional Storage Warehouse: Acts as the “backbone” of the system, providing centralized, space-saving storage for raw metal sheets. With configurable floor counts (8–13 layers) and per-layer loads of 3T or 5T, it eliminates messy, floor-based material piles and ensures easy access to raw materials.
Double-Sided Gantry Truss: The system’s “transport highway,” offering stable, high-precision horizontal movement for loading and unloading manipulators. Its rigid structure minimizes vibration, ensuring that even heavy plates (up to 3000kg) are moved smoothly—critical for avoiding scratches or misalignment.
Loading & Unloading Truss Manipulators: Purpose-built for laser cutting workflows. The loading manipulator uses high-torque suction cups to lift and position raw sheets, while the unloading manipulator features durable forks to handle both finished products and scrap. Both operate with sub-millimeter precision, guided by the PLC control system.
Double-Layer Finished Material Truck: A mobile storage solution for post-cut materials, keeping finished products organized and separate from scrap to streamline sorting. Its double-layer design maximizes space efficiency, even in compact workshops.
PLC Control System: The “brain” of the operation. This intuitive, user-friendly system automates every step of the workflow—from triggering material retrieval to coordinating manipulator movements—with minimal human input. Operators can easily adjust parameters (e.g., plate size, cycle time) via a touchscreen interface, and the system logs real-time data for performance tracking.
Seamless Laser Cutter Integration: Designed to work with all major laser cutter brands and models. It syncs with your laser cutter’s exchange table, ensuring that loading and unloading happen in perfect timing with cutting cycles—no more waiting for manual material swaps.

Technical Specifications: Tailored to Your Production Needs

Herochu understands that laser cutting operations vary widely—from small shops cutting 3015mm sheets to large factories handling 6025mm plates. That’s why the system is available in multiple size configurations, with specs optimized for different workloads. Below is a breakdown of key technical parameters to help you find the right fit:

Specification Category	Details
Compatible Sheet Sizes	3015mm, 4015mm, 4020mm, 6015mm, 6020mm, 6025mm (covers most industry standards)
Storage Warehouse Floors	8–13 layers (configurable based on workshop height)
Per-Layer Load Capacity	3T or 5T (supports heavy raw material batches)
Maximum Plate Weight	300KG–3000KG (handles thin aluminum sheets to thick steel plates)
Air Consumption	1.5m³/min (efficient pneumatic operation for suction cups/forks)
Air Source Requirement	0.6–0.7Mpa (works with standard factory compressed air systems)
Control System	PLC with touchscreen interface (easy parameter adjustment, real-time monitoring)
Power Supply	380V/50Hz (compatible with global industrial power standards)

These specs aren’t just numbers—they translate to real-world flexibility. For example, a 6025mm system with 13 storage layers can hold enough raw material to run 8-hour shifts without reloading, while a 3015mm system with 8 layers fits perfectly in small workshops with limited vertical space. The 300KG–3000KG weight range means the system works for everything from automotive body panels to heavy structural steel—no need to invest in multiple handling solutions.

Step-by-Step Workflow: How the System Eliminates Manual Work

The true power of Herochu’s Laser Cutting Machine Loading and Unloading System lies in its seamless, automated workflow. Every step is designed to minimize human intervention, reduce cycle times, and eliminate errors. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how it operates:

1. Plate Delivery to Loading Station

Raw metal sheets start in the three-dimensional storage warehouse. The electric raw material trolley—guided by the PLC system—retrieves a stack of plates from the warehouse and transports them to the loading station, where it stops precisely (within ±2mm accuracy). This eliminates manual forklift trips, reducing the risk of collisions and material damage.

2. Suction Cup Loading: Precision Lifting & Positioning

The loading truss manipulator moves horizontally to the loading station via the double-sided gantry truss. Its suction cups (optimized for different plate materials, from aluminum to stainless steel) descend, create a strong vacuum seal, and lift a single plate—even if sheets are stacked tightly. A built-in “sheet separation” feature ensures no double-loading (a common cause of laser cutting errors). The manipulator then rises to a pre-set height (adjustable via the PLC), moves horizontally above the laser cutter’s exchange table, and descends to a designated position. The suction cups release the plate gently, and the manipulator returns to its starting position—all in under 60 seconds—to await the next loading command.

3. Laser Cutting: Syncing with Your Cutter

Once the plate is in place, the laser cutter’s exchange table (integrated with the system) moves into the machine’s processing area. The PLC system communicates with the laser cutter to confirm plate position, ensuring alignment with cutting patterns. After cutting is complete, the exchange table exits the processing area—triggering the next step in the workflow automatically.

4. Mobile Trolley Positioning for Unloading

While the laser cutter works, the double-layer finished material truck (mobile trolley) travels along its track to the unloading station, stopping precisely under the unloading manipulator. The trolley carries an empty pallet, ready to receive finished products and scrap—no manual positioning required.

5. Fork Unloading: Separating Finished Goods & Scrap

The unloading truss manipulator moves horizontally above the exchange table. Its forks open, slide under the finished sheet and scrap (the system can be programmed to separate them if needed), and close securely. The manipulator rises to a fixed height, moves to the mobile trolley, and descends to deposit the materials. The forks open to release the load, then close as the manipulator returns to its starting position—ready for the next cycle.

6. Centralized Sorting: Streamlining Post-Cut Work

Once the mobile trolley is loaded, it exits the unloading area and moves to a designated sorting zone. A forklift or crane (coordinated via the PLC system to avoid bottlenecks) then transports the finished products and scrap to a manual sorting station. This keeps the laser cutting area clear and ensures that sorting happens away from the production line—further boosting efficiency.
