This advanced piece of Material Handling Equipment combines precision servo technology, flexible design, and robust safety features to streamline sheet handling processes, cut downtime, and boost overall productivity. Starting at $19,300 and backed by CE, UE, and ISO 9001 certifications, this manipulator isn’t just an investment in automation—it’s an investment in reliability, safety, and long-term operational efficiency tailored to your workshop’s unique needs.
Why Manual Sheet Handling No Longer Works (And How Herochu Fixes It)
Manual sheet handling comes with a long list of pain points: it requires trained labor to avoid dropping or damaging sheets, it’s slow (especially for large or heavy materials), and it exposes workers to strains, sprains, or worse. Even with basic lifting tools, teams struggle to maintain consistency—leading to misaligned sheets in production, wasted materials, and delayed projects. Herochu’s Intelligent Servo Manipulator eliminates these issues entirely. As a Fully Automatic solution, it takes over the heavy lifting, precise positioning, and repetitive movement of sheets, allowing your team to focus on higher-value tasks. Whether you’re working with thin 1mm sheets or thick 20mm plates, small 1250x1000mm pieces or large 4000x2000mm panels, this manipulator adapts to your needs—making it a game-changer for industries like automotive manufacturing, steel fabrication, and construction.
Core Advantages: Convenience, Safety, and Economy in Every Design Choice
Herochu’s High Efficiency Sheet Handling Intelligent Servo Manipulator isn’t just a “lift and move” tool—it’s engineered with three core principles in mind: convenience, safety, and economy. These principles shine through in every feature, making it a standout choice for workshops of all sizes.
Convenient and Flexible: Modular Design for Easy Adaptation
One of the biggest frustrations with industrial equipment is how hard it is to install, reconfigure, or move—especially in dynamic workshop layouts. Herochu solves this with a modular assembly structure that lets you easily assemble and disassemble the manipulator as needed. No more struggling with complex tools or permanent installations: the modular design reduces space waste by allowing you to adjust the manipulator’s setup to fit your workshop’s layout, whether you need to reposition it for a new production line or store it temporarily during maintenance. This flexibility also means the manipulator grows with your business—if you expand your operations or start working with different sheet sizes, you won’t need to buy a whole new system; you can adapt the existing one to meet new demands.
Security Assurance: Safety First, Always
When dealing with heavy, large sheets and automated machinery, safety is non-negotiable—and Herochu doesn’t cut corners. The Intelligent Servo Manipulator is equipped with two critical safety features: emergency stop protection and automatic braking. The emergency stop button gives operators instant control to halt the manipulator if something goes wrong (like a misaligned sheet or an unexpected obstacle), while the automatic braking system kicks in if the manipulator detects a loss of power or a deviation from its programmed path. These features don’t just protect your workers—they also protect your materials: by preventing sudden drops or collisions, the manipulator reduces the risk of damaging expensive steel sheets, saving you money on wasted materials.
Economical: Ergonomics That Cut Costs (and Boost Morale)
“Economical” doesn’t just mean a lower price tag—it means a tool that saves you money over time. Herochu’s manipulator achieves this through its ergonomic design, which simplifies the entire loading operation. Unlike manual handling, which requires multiple workers and frequent breaks, the manipulator’s fully automatic process is simple, coherent, and efficient. It eliminates the need for extra labor (you can operate it with minimal training), reduces the risk of worker injuries (lowering workers’ compensation costs), and cuts down on material waste (thanks to precise positioning). Over months and years, these savings add up—making the $19,300 starting price a smart long-term investment. Plus, the ergonomic design boosts team morale: when workers no longer have to perform repetitive, physically demanding tasks, they’re more engaged and productive.
Standard Models: Tailored to Your Sheet Handling Needs
Herochu offers five standard models of the High Efficiency Sheet Handling Intelligent Servo Manipulator, each designed to handle specific sheet thicknesses, sizes, and weights. Whether you’re working with lightweight 300kg sheets or heavy 1000kg plates, there’s a model that fits your workflow. Let’s break down each one to help you find the perfect match:
HC-R3015-500: Ideal for Medium-Weight, Mid-Size Sheets
The HC-R3015-500 is a versatile choice for workshops handling medium-weight sheets. It can manage sheets up to 8mm thick, with a maximum size of 3000x1500mm and a maximum weight of 300kg—perfect for common metal fabrication tasks like cutting, bending, or welding mid-size plates. It uses 15 suction cups (150mm in diameter) to securely grip sheets, ensuring no slippage during movement. Like all models, it features a horizontal travel of 3000mm and vertical travel of 1850mm, giving it enough range to cover most workshop setups. With an overall dimension of 3800x1700x1700mm and a weight of 500kg, it’s compact enough to fit in smaller workshops without sacrificing performance.
HC-R3015-750: Step Up for Thicker, Heavier Sheets
If you need to handle thicker and heavier sheets than the HC-R3015-500 can manage, the HC-R3015-750 is the next step. It increases the maximum sheet thickness to 12mm and the maximum weight to 500kg, while keeping the same 3000x1500mm maximum sheet size—making it great for workshops that work with denser metals or thicker plates. It still uses 15 suction cups, but upgrades to a larger 200mm diameter to provide better grip on heavier sheets. The horizontal and vertical travel remain 3000mm and 1850mm, respectively, ensuring it can reach all areas of your production line. This model is a favorite among automotive component manufacturers, who often work with thicker steel sheets for parts like frames or panels.
HC-R3015-1000: The Heavyweight for Thick, Large Sheets
For workshops dealing with the heaviest and thickest sheets, the HC-R3015-1000 is the top choice. It handles sheets up to 20mm thick (the thickest in Herochu’s standard lineup) and up to 1000kg in weight—making it suitable for heavy-duty applications like construction steel fabrication or industrial machinery manufacturing. To handle this weight, it uses 18 suction cups (250mm in diameter) for maximum grip, ensuring even the heaviest sheets stay secure during movement. It maintains the 3000x1500mm maximum sheet size, 3000mm horizontal travel, and 1850mm vertical travel of other HC-R3015 models, so it integrates seamlessly into existing workflows. If your business relies on moving large, heavy sheets daily, this model will eliminate the stress and inefficiency of manual handling.
HC-R4020-500: For Large Sheets, Light to Medium Weight
Some workshops don’t need extreme weight capacity—but they do need to handle very large sheets. The HC-R4020-500 is designed for this exact scenario. It accommodates sheets up to 4000x2000mm (the largest standard size) and 8mm thick, with a maximum weight of 300kg. This makes it perfect for industries like aerospace (where large, thin aluminum sheets are common) or construction (for large wall or roof panels). It uses 15 suction cups (150mm diameter) to distribute grip evenly across large surfaces, preventing warping or damage. With the same 3000mm horizontal travel, 1850mm vertical travel, and 3800x1700x1700mm dimensions as other models, it’s easy to integrate into workshops that need to handle big sheets without the extra weight.
HC-R4020-750: Large Sheets, Heavier Loads
For businesses that need both large sheet capacity and higher weight handling, the HC-R4020-750 is the solution. It handles sheets up to 4000x2000mm (same as the HC-R4020-500) but increases the maximum thickness to 12mm and weight to 500kg. It uses 15 suction cups (200mm diameter) to grip large, heavier sheets securely, making it ideal for industries like shipbuilding (where large steel plates are common) or heavy equipment manufacturing. Like all Herochu models, it’s fully automatic, so you can move large sheets quickly and precisely without relying on manual labor.
