Herochu Automatic Sheet Metal Storage System: Elevate Your Sheet Metal Management Efficiency
In the manufacturing, construction, and metal processing industries, efficient sheet metal storage is more than a logistical detail—it’s a cornerstone of productivity, cost control, and product quality. Traditional sheet metal storage methods often struggle with scattered placement, time-consuming retrieval, manual errors, and wasted space, leading to delayed production, increased labor costs, and even damage to valuable materials. Enter the Herochu Automatic Sheet Metal Storage System—a cutting-edge solution designed to transform these challenges into opportunities for efficiency and growth.
Centralized 3D Storage: Maximize Space, Minimize Hassle
One of the standout features of the Herochu system is its ability to enable centralized three-dimensional storage of plates. Unlike conventional horizontal or scattered storage, this vertical, compact design makes full use of your facility’s vertical space, significantly reducing the floor area required. Whether you operate in a small workshop or a large factory, this space-saving approach frees up valuable real estate for other production or operational needs.
With customizable specifications ranging from 3015mm to 6020mm (3015/4015/4020/6015/6020mm), the system accommodates a wide range of sheet sizes—from standard to large-format plates. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple storage setups, streamlining your entire storage process.
Smart Automation: From Detection to Retrieval, Fully Optimized
Automation is at the core of the Herochu system, designed to minimize manual intervention and maximize precision. The system features automatic weight detection, ensuring that each layer is never overloaded and preventing potential damage to both the equipment and the sheets. This is paired with automatic storage and retrieval capabilities, reducing the need for manual handling and the risk of human error.
Controlled via a PLC + touch screen interface, operation is intuitive and user-friendly. Even staff with minimal training can quickly master the system, reducing onboarding time and operational disruptions. Whether you need to retrieve a specific sheet for an urgent order or store newly arrived materials, the process is streamlined, saving valuable time daily.
Safety, Efficiency, and Durability: Built for Industrial Demands
Safety and efficiency go hand in hand with the Herochu system. Its high load capacity—with 3T or 5T per layer—handles heavy-duty sheets with ease, making it suitable for a wide range of materials, from steel to aluminum. The system’s stability is further enhanced by its linear guide rail + chain movement mode and chain drive transmission, ensuring smooth, consistent operation even under heavy loads.
When it comes to speed, the Herochu system doesn’t disappoint. With a vertical lifting speed of 9m/min and an inlet/outlet speed of 12m/min, sheet metal retrieval and storage are completed in seconds, keeping your production line moving without unnecessary delays. This efficiency directly translates to faster turnaround times and improved overall productivity.
Flexible Loading and Customization: Adapt to Your Needs
Herochu understands that every facility has unique requirements, which is why the system offers two loading modes: forklift and overhead crane compatibility. This flexibility ensures seamless integration with your existing equipment, eliminating the need for costly upgrades or adjustments.
Additionally, the system provides optional plate support, allowing you to tailor the storage setup to the specific type of sheets you handle—whether they’re thin, thick, coated, or uncoated. This customization ensures that your materials are always stored in optimal conditions, reducing the risk of warping, scratching, or other forms of damage.
