In the modern industrial production landscape, efficient sheet metal storage and management have become a critical factor affecting production efficiency, inventory control, and operational costs. For manufacturing enterprises engaged in laser cutting, stamping, and other sheet metal processing fields, the traditional manual storage mode—relying on forklifts and manual handling—not only suffers from low efficiency but also faces risks such as sheet metal damage, inaccurate inventory statistics, and potential safety hazards. To address these pain points, Herochu has launched the Automatic Twin-Tower Sheet Metal Storage System, a specialized storage solution designed for industrial sheet metal management that integrates automation, intelligence, and customization. This system not only realizes the automatic loading, unloading, and storage of sheet metal but also optimizes the entire production process through intelligent inventory management, becoming an indispensable core equipment for modern sheet metal processing enterprises.
The Automatic Twin-Tower Sheet Metal Storage System is constructed with high-quality steel, ensuring excellent structural stability and load-bearing capacity. The system adopts a drawer-type structure and multi-level racking design, which maximizes the utilization of vertical space. With a height range of 5-15 meters, it can store a large number of sheet metal materials in a limited workshop area, effectively saving floor space. One of the core advantages of this twin-tower design is its high operational efficiency; the two towers can work independently or collaboratively, enabling parallel operations such as simultaneous storage and retrieval of different types of sheet metal, greatly shortening the waiting time for material supply. The system’s movement mode combines linear guide rails and chains, which ensures smooth, stable, and precise movement of the storage components. The CNC system uses laser scanning for closed-loop positioning, synchronously eliminating the extension size of the chain, thus achieving high-precision positioning of sheet metal during storage and retrieval, with no deviation even in long-term operation.
In terms of load-bearing capacity, the Automatic Twin-Tower Sheet Metal Storage System offers flexible options with a per-layer loading capacity of 3t or 5t, which can meet the storage needs of different thicknesses and weights of sheet metal materials, such as steel, copper, iron, aluminum, and other common metal sheets. The number of layers can be customized according to the customer’s actual storage requirements and workshop space layout, ensuring that the system perfectly adapts to the specific production scenario. In addition, the system supports both open and closed storage modes; the closed mode can effectively protect sheet metal from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors, while the open mode facilitates quick access to frequently used materials. The rack color is available in orange, blue, or customized colors according to the customer’s workshop environment and brand image, enhancing the overall coordination of the production site.
The automation of loading and unloading is a key highlight of this system. It is equipped with a double-column lifting mechanism; the motor drives the feeding tray and the sheet metal to lift through multiple rows of chains, and the pushing mechanism on the lifting machine hooks one side of the feeding tray to realize the smooth entry and exit of the sheet metal. This fully automatic loading and unloading process eliminates the need for manual intervention, such as forklift drivers and warehouse administrators, avoiding the inefficiency caused by manual waiting and the risk of sheet metal damage during manual handling. For enterprises equipped with laser cutting machines, robotic press brakes, automatic turret punch presses, and other processing equipment, the Automatic Twin-Tower Sheet Metal Storage System can be seamlessly connected to these devices, realizing automatic material supply and finished product storage, forming a continuous production line and greatly improving the overall production efficiency of the workshop.
Intelligent inventory management is another core function that cannot be ignored. The system can be connected to the enterprise’s ERP system to realize real-time monitoring of sheet metal inventory. Every time sheet metal is stored or retrieved, the system automatically records the quantity, type, and location of the material, ensuring accurate and up-to-date inventory data. After a batch of processing is completed, the unused sheet metal will be automatically returned to the designated storage position, and the system will update the inventory information in real time. This real-time inventory management capability enables enterprise managers to grasp the inventory status of various sheet metal materials at any time, optimize inventory allocation, formulate more flexible production plans, and avoid production delays caused by material shortages or overstocking of materials. In addition, the system supports remote management; managers can monitor the operation status of the storage system and adjust inventory strategies through mobile devices or computers, further improving the convenience of operation and management.
The control system of the Automatic Twin-Tower Sheet Metal Storage System is designed to be user-friendly, with simple and convenient operation. The appearance is beautiful and elegant, and it integrates advanced intelligent warehouse management and automatic loading and unloading functions. Adopting the most advanced and mature control systems and technologies, the system has the characteristics of high precision, high reliability, and high response speed, ensuring stable and efficient operation even in long-term continuous production. In terms of transportation, the system adopts standard export packaging, which effectively protects the equipment during transportation and ensures that it arrives at the customer’s site intact. Herochu, as a professional automatic metal storage system factory, provides customized solutions according to the customer’s specific needs, and does not charge design fees, providing customers with cost-effective products and services.
