- Positioning Accuracy: Maintains a precision of ±2.5mm, ensuring every cut aligns with your design specifications—critical for applications where dimensional consistency directly impacts product quality.
- Operational Speed: Runs at a speed of 35m/min, reducing cycle times and keeping up with high-volume production demands without sacrificing accuracy.
- Load Capacity: Supports a maximum load of 800kg, handling heavy metal sheets with ease and eliminating the risk of damage from overloading.
- Power Compatibility: Operates on 220V 50HZ/60HZ, fitting seamlessly into standard workshop electrical systems worldwide—no costly rewiring required.
Game-Changing Features: Unmanned Efficiency, Flexible Scalability
What sets Herochu’s Laser Automation & Sorting Unit apart is its focus on solving real workshop pain points—from labor shortages to inconsistent production rhythms. Here’s how its key features deliver tangible value:
1. Automated Unmanned Work Cycles
The unit’s core strength lies in its ability to run fully automated, unmanned work cycles. Equipped with a fast auto load & unload function, it eliminates the need for manual sheet handling, which is not only time-consuming but also a common source of errors and workplace injuries. By keeping your laser cutter fed and unloaded without human intervention, the system boosts machine utilization from typical 60-70% rates to near-constant operation—turning idle time into productive output.
2. Integrated Storage & Optimized Production Rhythms
Unlike standalone loading systems, Herochu’s unit supports whole single storage units, creating a closed-loop workflow where sheets are stored, fed, cut, and sorted in sequence. This integration eliminates delays caused by manual material transport, ensuring production rhythms stay consistent even during peak hours. For shops juggling multiple orders, this means faster turnaround times and happier customers.
3. Extensible Design for Multi-Laser Line Operations
As your business grows, so can your automation setup. The unit’s extensible design allows for flexible configuration, letting you connect multiple laser cutting lines to a single automation system. This scalability is ideal for workshops expanding their capacity—no need to invest in entirely new automation setups; simply extend your existing Herochu unit to match your growing needs.
4. Modular Compatibility with Mainstream Laser Cutters
Herochu understands that workshops rarely start from scratch. That’s why the unit features a modular design, engineered to match the market’s mainstream laser cutting machines—from fiber laser models to CO2 cutters. If you already own a laser cutter, chances are this automation unit will integrate with it seamlessly. And if you need custom adjustments (e.g., modified loading arms, specialized sorting bins), Herochu’s team will tailor the system to your exact equipment and workflow.
5. 24/7 Multi-Variety Unmanned Operation
With the ability to handle multiple material types and part designs, the unit enables all-weather, 24/7 unmanned operation. Whether you’re cutting stainless steel for kitchen sinks, aluminum for advertising signs, or mild steel for hardware components, the system adapts to different materials and part geometries without manual reconfiguration. This means you can keep production running overnight or during weekends—maximizing output without adding extra shifts.
6. Roller Table Positioning for Faster Setup
Time spent aligning sheets for cutting is time wasted. Herochu’s unit includes matching roller table positioning, which automatically centers and secures sheets before cutting. This reduces plate-seeking time from minutes to seconds, ensuring your laser cutter spends more time cutting and less time waiting for material setup.
The Auto Load & Unload System: Compact, Safe, Economical
At the heart of the unit is its automatic loading and unloading system—a compact, efficient setup that forms the backbone of your warehousing and cutting workflow. The system consists of three key components:
- Laser Cutting Machine Integration: The automation unit connects directly to your laser cutter, using precision sensors to sync loading and cutting cycles.
- Laser Loading & Unloading Robot: A robust, high-precision robot handles sheet transport, with soft-grip mechanisms that prevent scratches or damage to delicate materials. By automating this step, you reduce labor costs and eliminate the risk of human error (e.g., misaligned sheets, dropped materials).
- Electric Exchange Trolley: Transports full or empty material pallets between the storage unit and the robot, ensuring a continuous supply of sheets without manual intervention. The trolley’s quiet, electric operation fits into noise-sensitive workshop environments and requires minimal maintenance.
Built to Last: Durability for Long-Term Value
Herochu doesn’t cut corners on build quality. The unit’s gantry features an integral welding structure, which undergoes multiple aging treatments to eliminate stress and ensure stability. This design delivers excellent dynamic response—even at high speeds—so the system maintains precision over years of heavy use. It’s also equipped with an efficient transmission mechanism, characterized by strong rigidity and high precision, ensuring long-term operation without costly breakdowns. For workshops looking to maximize ROI, this durability means lower maintenance costs and a longer equipment lifespan.
Ideal for Your Industry
Herochu’s Laser Automation & Sorting Unit is tailored to the needs of:
- Sheet Metal Processing: Handle stainless steel, aluminum, and mild steel sheets with precision, reducing scrap and speeding up production.
- Kitchen Utensil Manufacturing: Cut complex shapes for sinks, cooktops, and cabinets with consistent accuracy, supporting high-volume orders.
- Advertising Production: Efficiently cut aluminum or acrylic sheets for signs, displays, and lettering, meeting tight client deadlines.
- Hardware Products: Produce small precision parts (e.g., brackets, fasteners) and large components alike, with minimal manual intervention.
