Herochu Automatic Tower and Storage Systems for Laser Cutting Machines
Boost Productivity, Slash Downtime, and Reclaim Your Floor Space with One CE-Certified Solution
Running a modern sheet-metal shop means juggling fast turnarounds, razor-thin margins, and a chronic shortage of skilled operators. Herochu’s Automatic Tower and Storage Systems for Laser Cutting Machines eliminate those headaches by turning any standard laser—3015, 4015, 4020, 6015, 6020, or 6025 mm format—into a fully autonomous, lights-out production cell. From the first cut to the last stack of finished parts, this intelligent storage-and-loading solution keeps your laser fed, unloaded, and productive 24/7.
Why Choose Herochu?
- Customizable workshop integration—every tower is engineered around YOUR floor plan, material flow, and ERP data.
- Entry price starts at just US$8,900—an ROI you can justify on a single high-volume job.
- CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certified for global compliance and risk-free audits.
- Two-tow-two loading system—simultaneous loading of raw sheet and unloading of cut parts while the laser keeps cutting.
- Zero production timeouts—linear guide rails and chain drives move sheets at 12 m/min, lifting at 9 m/min so the table changer is ready before the laser head finishes the nest.
The Autonomous Workflow
- While the laser is cutting nest A, the tower’s comb extractor lifts the finished sheet from the shuttle table and places it in the processed-material station.
- In the same cycle, a vacuum suction frame pulls the next blank from the correct shelf and positions it on the shuttle table.
- The operator’s only job is to replenish the tower once per shift—Herochu’s HMI tells you exactly which SKU, gauge, and quantity to load next.
The result: up to 85 % reduction in manual handling, 30 % faster average job turnaround, and the freedom to schedule unmanned night shifts without fear of costly collisions or double-sheet pickups.
