Herochu Pneumatic Cantilever Loading Manipulator: Industrial-Grade Panel & Sheet Lifter for Efficient Material Handling

Tailored to Your Workshop: Versatile Specs for Diverse Needs

Every workshop has unique material handling requirements, and Herochu’s loading manipulator is built to adapt. Available in three configurations to accommodate varying material thicknesses and weights, it ensures compatibility with a wide range of applications:

Feeding Plate Thickness: Options for 1–8mm, 1–12mm, and 1–20mm, making it suitable for thin metal sheets, thick plastic panels, wood boards, and even heavy glass.
Weight Capacity: Ranges from 300KG to 1000KG, with a 500KG model standing out as a versatile choice for most sheet metal, glass, and profile handling tasks.
Feeding Format: All models support a maximum format of 40001500mm and a minimum of 12501250mm, catering to both large-scale panels and standard-size materials.
Power & Gripping: Equipped with 8 suction cups and dual Pneumatic/Electric power modes, it delivers consistent, secure gripping across different material types—from smooth glass to textured metal sheets.

Herochu takes customization further by adapting the manipulator to your workshop’s layout and workflow. Whether you’re processing pipes, profiles, long timber, or sheet metal, the design adjusts to your space, eliminating the inefficiencies of one-size-fits-all equipment.

Maximize Space: Cantilever Retractable Design for Optimal Utilization

Space is a valuable resource in any workshop, and traditional fixed shelves often waste square footage when storing irregularly sized materials. Herochu’s manipulator solves this with a cantilever retractable design that lets you adjust shelves according to the length of your goods. This feature is particularly impactful for long materials like pipes, aluminum profiles, or extended timber, as it eliminates gaps and ensures every inch of your storage area is used effectively. By integrating this manipulator into your setup, you can expand your material storage capacity without expanding your workshop footprint—an essential advantage for growing operations.

Automate for Efficiency: Streamline Laser Cutting and Loading Processes

Manual material handling is not only labor-intensive but also prone to delays and human error, especially in high-volume production. The Herochu Pneumatic Cantilever Loading Manipulator transforms this with automated operating processes tailored for laser cutting workflows. As an automated auxiliary equipment, it transports materials directly to the laser cutting table, eliminating the need for manual lifting and positioning.

Here’s how it enhances productivity:

Precision Detection: Using preset instructions, it automatically identifies material size, shape, and position—ensuring accurate placement every time.
Continuous Operation: Enables non-stop loading, cutting down on downtime between batches and making the entire production process more fluent.
Output Boost: By reducing the time spent on loading, it significantly increases units produced per hour—ideal for meeting large-scale orders or tight delivery deadlines.

Whether you’re handling metal sheets for automotive parts or glass panels for construction, this automation cuts production timelines while maintaining consistent quality.

Ergonomic & Low-Effort Operation: Designed for the User

Despite its heavy-duty capacity, the Herochu manipulator prioritizes operator comfort—a key factor in reducing fatigue and improving workflow. Thanks to its electronic control and automatic balancing system, lifting and positioning loads feel almost effortless: operators can maneuver panels up to 500KG with just 300 grams of force.

To ensure ergonomic alignment for every task, Herochu offers 4 standard handle sizes. These handles adjust to different applications, keeping arms and hands in a natural position whether loading, unloading, or moving materials across the workshop. Smooth, fast, and precise up/down movements further reduce strain, making long shifts more manageable and productive.

Uncompromising Safety: Protect Operators and Materials

Safety is non-negotiable in industrial settings, and the Herochu Pneumatic Cantilever Loading Manipulator is built with multiple layers of protection. Its safety features are designed to safeguard both operators and the valuable materials they handle:

Vacuum Verification: Before lifting, the system checks vacuum levels in the suction cups. If levels are insufficient, lifting is locked out—preventing accidental drops.
Real-Time Alerts: If vacuum pressure drops while a load is suspended, an acoustic alarm activates immediately, and a vacuum gauge displays live pressure readings, allowing for quick intervention.
Grip Confirmation: Upon securing a material (glass, metal, or wood), an acoustic signal confirms a proper grip—giving operators clear feedback before they begin moving.

These features, combined with the manipulator’s modular, industrial-grade construction, ensure long-term durability and reliability. You can trust it to perform consistently in harsh workshop conditions without compromising safety.

Reduce Labor Costs: Replace Manual Work with Reliable Automation

Manual material handling of heavy panels and sheets requires dedicated labor, increasing payroll costs and raising the risk of workplace injuries. The Herochu manipulator eliminates these challenges by replacing manual lifting and repetitive tasks. By reducing reliance on manpower, it cuts labor expenses while minimizing the risk of strains, falls, or material damage—saving your business money and protecting your team.

For workshops scaling up or looking to optimize existing operations, this investment delivers rapid returns: lower labor bills, fewer material losses, and higher output per shift.
