A Real-World Solution for High-Volume Laser Cutting
When a leading electrical enclosures manufacturer in Kentucky faced production bottlenecks after adding a second laser to their operation, Herochu’s Roll-Out Sheet Racks provided the answer. The company’s automated storage tower couldn’t keep up with increased cycle demands, leading to material delays and reduced output. By installing eight Herochu roll-out racks, the plant transformed its workflow:
- 46 Drawers for Work-in-Process: Stores sheet metal inventory up to 5′ x 10′, feeding two CNC lasers simultaneously.
- Single-Battery Configuration: Racks are arranged in a single line with drawers facing lasers, enabling immediate material access for operators.
- Uninterrupted Production: Overhead cranes and vacuum lift attachments allow operators to retrieve sheets directly from the drawer to the laser table.
The result? Material flow now keeps pace with machine output, maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime.
Why Herochu’s Racks are Laser-Cutting Game-Changers
1. Rear-Load Design for Seamless Material Flow
Herochu’s Rear-Load Drawer System eliminates manual handling and reduces labor costs:
- Forklift Loading: Stock bundles are loaded from the back of the rack, saving time and effort.
- Front-Access Retrieval: Drawers roll out smoothly, allowing operators to quickly select individual sheets using an overhead crane.
- Vacuum Lift Integration: Sheets are placed directly onto the laser table, eliminating intermediate steps.
2. Smart Empty-Drawer Alert System
A unique flashing light feature alerts forklift operators when a drawer is empty, ensuring continuous replenishment without disrupting production. This real-time notification system prevents material shortages and keeps workflows running smoothly.
3. Customizable Capacity for Any Workshop
Herochu’s racks are 100% customizable to fit your laser cutting needs:
- Load Capacity: 3–6 tons per layer (standard models), with options for higher capacities.
- Plate Size: Accommodates sheets from 3000x1500mm to 6000x2000mm.
