Precision in laser cutting requires precision in handling. A sheet that is scratched during loading or misaligned during placement can result in costly scrap and machine downtime. Herochu delivers superior Automated Handling and Storage Solutions of Laser-Cutting Automation, focusing on the mechanical and technical excellence required to support high-speed fabrication.
The Mechanics of Speed
At the core of Herochu’s offering is the high-speed load/unload system. Utilizing robust gantry structures and sophisticated end-effectors, our systems can swap a raw plate for a finished skeleton in just under two minutes. This speed is achieved through a combination of heavy-duty vacuum lifters for raw sheets and specialized grippers or sorting tables for finished parts.
Our automation handles the heavy lifting—literally. A standard 3-meter by 1.5-meter steel plate can weigh over 100 kilograms. Manually moving these sheets is a safety hazard and a source of worker fatigue. Herochu’s automated handling removes this physical burden, ensuring that your workforce is safe and your materials are handled with care.
Storage as a Production Buffer
The “Storage” aspect of Herochu’s Automated Handling and Storage Solutions of Laser-Cutting Automation is equally critical. Our tower systems are designed to hold a significant volume of material, acting as a reservoir for production. This buffering capability is essential for maintaining a continuous cutting rhythm. While the laser is processing one sheet, the system is already preparing the next, or sorting the previous one.
This seamless handover means the laser machine spends more time cutting and less time idling. The system can also manage “remnants”—parts of sheets that have been partially cut. Instead of being discarded or left cluttering the floor, these remnants are automatically returned to the storage tower, ready to be recalled for future jobs. This level of material optimization is a hallmark of Herochu’s engineering.
Scalability for Future Growth
Herochu systems are built to grow with your business. As you add more cutting capacity, our handling solutions can be expanded with additional rails and towers. This scalability ensures that your initial investment continues to yield returns as your production capabilities evolve.
