Herochu Electric Sucker Cantilever Manipulator
Customizable Industrial Lifting Solution from US $1,960 | CE • UE • ISO 9001 Certified
When a single steel or glass panel weighs more than an automobile tire and must be moved every 90 seconds, gravity is no longer a law—it is a bottleneck. The Herochu Electric Sucker Cantilever Manipulator turns that bottleneck into a breakthrough. By fusing dual magnetic-electric control cores with millimetre-level servo precision, this intelligent lifting machine becomes the “gravity master” of modern workshops, docks and warehouses, effortlessly capturing, rotating and placing loads up to 500 kg while using only 600 W of power.
1. Core Advantage: Magnetic-Electric Dual-Core Suction
Unlike conventional vacuum-only or mechanical-grip systems, Herochu combines rare-earth permanent magnets with a variable-frequency electric suction circuit. The result:
- Instant engagement—even on slightly oily or uneven surfaces
- Energy saving—magnets hold the load; electricity only modulates release
- Redundant safety—if mains power drops, permanent magnet adhesion remains ≥ 5× rated load
This hybrid approach delivers 3.5× faster cycle times and cuts compressed-air consumption to zero, slashing operating costs by up to 38 % annually.
2. 360° Flexible Motion in a Compact Footprint
| Axis | Travel | Speed | Repeatability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vertical | 1 850 mm | 0–24 m/min | ± 0.5 mm |
| Horizontal | 3 000 mm | 0–30 m/min | ± 0.5 mm |
| Rotation | 360° continuous | 0–18 rpm | ± 0.1° |
A three-section telescopic cantilever constructed from Q345B structural steel keeps overall dimensions to just 3 800 × 1 700 × 1 700 mm (L×W×H), allowing installation between CNC centers where ceiling height is limited.
3. Safety That Thinks Ahead
Herochu’s Smart Shield 3.0 safety suite monitors eight parameters in real time:
- Vacuum/flux decay sensor triggers audible-visual alarm within 0.3 s
- Inertial measurement unit (IMU) freezes all axes if load swing exceeds 3°
- Dual-channel anti-fall solenoid mechanically locks the arm if power or air fails
- Blue-spot LED warning projects a safety zone on the floor, reducing pedestrian collisions by 42 % (field-tested at BMW Leipzig plant)
All safety functions are SIL 2 / PL c certified under EN ISO 13849-1.
4. Modular Control Philosophy
Choose the interface that fits your operators:
- Electric control: 7-inch color HMI with recipe storage for 99 workpieces
- Pure pneumatic: Explosion-proof design for solvent-based paint lines (ATEX Zone 2)
- Hybrid electric-pneumatic: Balances speed with intrinsically safe circuits for lithium-battery plants
Plug-and-play I/O boxes allow seamless integration with AGVs, MES and Industry 4.0 dashboards via PROFINET or EtherCAT.
5. Applications That Pay for Themselves
| Industry | Typical Task | ROI Period |
|---|---|---|
| Sheet-metal fabrication | Loading 4 m × 2 m steel plates into laser cutter | 7 months |
| Glass & façade | Stacking insulating glass units onto A-frame racks | 5 months |
| Woodworking | Feeding 18 mm MDF panels into CNC nesting machine | 9 months |
| Plastic extrusion | Unloading PVC sheets from thermoforming line | 6 months |
A midsize German subcontractor reported €23,400 annual savings after replacing two manual lifters with one Herochu manipulator.
6. Customization—Built Around Your Reality
Starting at US $1 960, every manipulator is engineered to order. Common options:
- Suction foot array: interchangeable pads for 3 mm perforated sheets or 25 mm non-ferrous plates
- Column height: 2 500 mm or 3 500 mm versions for high-bay warehouses
- IP rating: standard IP54, optional IP65 wash-down package for food-grade environments
- Colour: full RAL range for corporate branding or safety zoning
Send us a drawing of your CNC cell or warehouse aisle—our simulation team will return a 3-D layout, cycle-time analysis and firm quotation within 24 hours.
7. Installation & Global Support
- Pre-commissioned modules ship in a 20 ft container—unpack, anchor four bolts, connect power and run
- Remote commissioning: German-, Spanish- and English-speaking engineers via augmented-reality glasses
- Warranty: 12 months parts & labor, extendable to 36 months with service contract
- Spare parts hubs: Detroit, Dubai, Düsseldorf and Shanghai guarantee 48-hour delivery worldwide
8. Certifications—Your Quality Passport
- CE – Conforms to Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC & EN 13155 (non-fixed load lifting attachments)
- UE – User Directive 2014/35/EU electrical safety
