Herochu Full-Automatic Sheet Metal Loading & Unloading System for Laser Cutting Machine
Customizable Factory-Fit Solution from $14,999 – CE, ISO 9001 Certified
When every second of laser uptime counts and skilled labor is scarce, Herochu delivers the next generation of material-handling intelligence. Our Full-Automatic Sheet Metal Loading & Unloading System is engineered to transform any laser-cutting cell—new or existing—into a lights-out production powerhouse. Starting at just $14,999 and custom-configured to your exact floor plan, the Herochu system slashes cycle times, eliminates manual lifting injuries, and pays for itself in months, not years.
What Makes Herochu the Industry’s Go-To Solution?
Herochu combines European CE safety compliance with ISO 9001 manufacturing discipline. Each unit is built in Jinan, China, and stress-tested to 10,000 annual duty cycles. Whether you run a standalone fiber laser or an Industry 4.0 sheet-metal line, Herochu adapts.
Three Modular Configurations
- Cantilever – ideal for compact cells, single-side access, minimal footprint
- Double-Beam Truss – high-speed, high-payload for 24/7 mass production
- Single-Beam Truss – balanced price/performance for mid-size fabricators
All frames are laser-cut and robot-welded, then powder-coated for 10-year corrosion resistance. Rails, gearboxes, and servo motors are oversized 30 % for maintenance-free operation above 99 % uptime.
Core Advantages – Immediate ROI
• Save Labor – One operator can supervise multiple lasers; reclaim up to 3 FTEs per shift
• Safe Operation – CE-compliant light curtains, overload protection, and collision avoidance
• Automatic Material Distribution – Intelligent load-balancing feeds the next available pallet
• Intelligent Sheet Detection – Integrated vision and weight sensors verify each blank’s size, thickness, and double-sheet condition within ±0.5 mm and ±50 g
• Compact Footprint – Cantilever variant needs only 2.5 m × 2.5 m of floor space
• Universal Compatibility – Plug-and-play with Trumpf, Bystronic, Amada, Mazak, IPG, and any other brand
• Tailored Engineering – Our Jinan design center turns your 3-D factory scan into a turnkey layout within 72 hours
Feature Deep-Dive
- Fully Automatic Operation
The HC-A6015 handles complete loading and unloading cycles without human intervention. A high-speed servo-driven telescopic fork slides under the stack, lifts the sheet with vacuum-assisted suction cups, and places it on the cutting table in under 25 seconds. After cutting, finished parts are lifted to a programmed pallet while skeleton waste drops into a separate bin—no manual sorting, no scratches, no mix-ups. - Smart Material Sorting
Add our optional robotic sorting module and the system can pick, stack, and label individual parts according to your ERP work order. Barcode or RFID traceability ensures downstream bending, welding, or painting cells receive the right batch every time. - Seamless Storage Integration
Connect the loader directly to a Herochu Compact Tower or an external multi-level AS/RS. The control software polls your MES for the next job, fetches the correct sheet, and returns remnants to inventory—automatically updating stock levels in real time. - Advanced Safety & Diagnostics
• 360° LED status lighting
• Category-4 safety relays
• Remote VPN access for predictive maintenance
• Energy-saving variable-frequency vacuum pumps reduce power draw by 35 % - Scalable Automation Line
Combine the Herochu loading system with our:
• Automatic Sheet Metal Storage Tower
• Laser cutting machine with automatic pallet changer
• Robotic press brake bending cell
to create an end-to-end cutting-to-bending line that runs 24 hours a day with no operator fatigue.
