When dealing with thick, heavy-gauge metal, standard lifting equipment often falls short. Herochu has developed a specific range of manipulators for steel plates designed to handle substantial weights without compromising on precision or stability. The HC-R3015 and HC-R4020 series represent the pinnacle of heavy-duty material handling technology.
Robust Specifications for Heavy Industry
The core strength of the Herochu system lies in its ability to manage varying thicknesses and weights. The lineup includes models capable of handling feeding plate thicknesses of 8mm, 12mm, and up to 20mm. For facilities processing massive structural components, the HC-R3015-1000 model stands out, offering a maximum plate weight capacity of 1000kg. Even the standard HC-R3015-500 and HC-R4020-500 models provide a solid 300kg capacity, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Optimized Vacuum Technology
Handling heavy steel plates requires a grip that is both secure and distributed evenly to prevent warping. Herochu employs a sophisticated suction cup configuration tailored to the load. Depending on the specific model, the number of suction cups ranges from 15 to a massive 118. For the heaviest loads, the system utilizes larger suction cup diameters of 200mm and 250mm. This ensures that the 1000kg capacity is managed with even load distribution, preventing localized stress that could damage the material or compromise the grip.
Maximum Feeding Dimensions
Space and size are critical factors in heavy industry. The Herochu manipulators are designed to accommodate large-format sheets, with maximum feeding widths reaching 3000×1500mm and 4000×2000mm. This extensive reach ensures that even the largest standard industrial plates can be maneuvered with ease. The electric power mode ensures that moving these heavy loads remains energy-efficient, contrasting sharply with the high operational costs of older hydraulic lifting systems.
