Herochu Laser Cutting Systems & Laser Cutting Automation
Custom-engineered for your workshop from US $8,900
CE, UE, ISO 9001 certified
Precision fibre laser sources now exceed 40 kW and linear-motor drives slice through 25 mm stainless at breathtaking speed, yet the true bottleneck remains the idle minutes between sheets. Manual loading and unloading can erase more than 30 % of available beam time, erode profit margins and expose operators to repetitive handling risks. Herochu has resolved this constraint with a fully integrated range of laser cutting automation that synchronises material flow, storage and machine utilisation without operator intervention.
Universal compatibility, scalable architecture
Every module is designed to retrofit fibre, CO₂ or disk laser cutting machines from any manufacturer, current or legacy. Standard footprints—3015, 4015, 4020, 6015, 6020 and 6025 mm—cover the overwhelming majority of sheet formats. Within the same envelope, the tower storage system offers 8 to 13 shelves, each rated at 3 t or 5 t payload, so a single aisle can buffer several hundred tonnes of mixed material ready for instant call-off. Linear guide rails and hardened chain drives deliver vertical lift at 9 m min⁻¹ and horizontal transfer at 12 m min⁻¹, ensuring the next sheet reaches the cutting table in under 180 seconds regardless of shelf height.
Process reliability through intelligent control
The control suite resides on an industrial PC with an intuitive HMI. Once the cutting program is uploaded, the scheduler assigns sheet priorities, monitors inventory in real time and sequences automatic loading and unloading cycles. Edge-detection sensors verify sheet dimensions and thickness before placement, eliminating crash risks. Cut-part stacks are returned to designated shelves or conveyed to downstream operations such as bending or robotic welding, all without human interaction.
Financial justification
Herochu offers three pre-engineered configurations to simplify budgeting:
- Stand-alone loading and unloading automation for a single 3 m × 1.5 m laser table—starting at US $8,900.
- Single-machine automation integrated with a compact storage tower—ideal for lean workshops seeking lights-out capability.
- Multi-machine cell served by a high-bay storage system with dynamic routing—scalable to four or more lasers operating in parallel.
Typical payback occurs within twelve months through increased beam-on time, reduced labour and lower forklift traffic. Customers report throughput gains of 35–50 % after the first quarter of operation.
Certification & quality assurance
Each system is manufactured under ISO 9001 quality protocols, CE-marked for European markets, and carries UE conformity documentation for seamless customs clearance. A dedicated quality department conducts full-load dynamic tests on every tower and carriage before dispatch. Forty in-house mechanical and software engineers provide lifetime technical support; on-site commissioning is available across five continents, including documented projects in South Africa, the United States, Russia, South Korea, Qatar, Egypt, Lebanon and Mexico.
Installation & future expansion
The modular design supports rapid installation—most cells achieve full production within three working days. All interfaces are plug-and-play, enabling future expansion such as additional shelves, extra laser tables or integration with ERP/MES platforms. Should you upgrade to a new laser cutting system in the years ahead, Herochu automation transfers to the replacement machine without structural modification.
