Beyond Basic Automation: The Power of “One Tow Two”

The standout feature of this Herochu system is its Automatic One Tow Two Loading functionality. This isn’t just simple load shifting; it’s a sophisticated process designed for maximum throughput:

1. Simultaneous Dual Pickup: The manipulator, equipped with multiple groups of heavy-duty, oil-resistant vacuum suction cups, can lift two separate large, flat items (like sheets of glass, metal, stone, or panels) in a single operation.

2. Intelligent Placement: Leveraging its servo translation positioning transmission and original Omron CNC control system, the manipulator precisely places one load onto its designated location (e.g., a processing machine, truck, or workstation).

3. Automatic Storage: The second load is then seamlessly transported and stored onto the integrated Automatic Storage and Discharge Rack.

4. Continuous Cycle: This process eliminates the downtime typically associated with single-load systems, dramatically increasing the number of loads handled per hour and significantly reducing manual intervention.

Maximizing Vertical Space: The 5-Layer High-Density Rack

Integrated seamlessly with the gantry system is the robust Five Layers Storage Rack. This isn’t just shelving; it’s an automated buffer integral to the “One Tow Two” workflow:

• Significant Capacity: Offering 5 levels of storage, this rack dramatically increases storage density within the same footprint compared to traditional floor stacking or lower-capacity systems.

• Heavy-Duty Design: Engineered for industrial demands, each layer boasts an impressive 3T (3000 kg) load capacity, accommodating substantial weights safely and securely.

• Automated Handling: The gantry manipulator interacts directly with the rack for fully automated storage and retrieval of the second load in the “One Tow Two” sequence, ensuring smooth material flow.

• Optimized Workflow: Acts as an intelligent buffer, decoupling loading/unloading operations from downstream processes and enabling just-in-time material supply.

Herochu Gantry Manipulator: Performance Engineered for Industry

Built to European design principles emphasizing stability, practicality, and longevity, the Herochu Gantry Loading Manipulator comprises a comprehensive suite of high-performance components:

• Robust Gantry Beam Body: Forms the stable foundation for precise movement and heavy lifting.

• High Torque Servo Synchronous Lifting Mechanism: Ensures smooth, powerful, and synchronized vertical movement of heavy loads, even with the dual-pick “One Tow Two” requirement.

• Precision Servo Translation Positioning: Guarantees accurate placement of loads both onto target locations and within the multi-layer storage rack.

• Industrial-Grade Vacuum Handling: Multiple groups of vacuum suction cups, specifically designed to be heavy-duty and oil-resistant, provide secure lifting for a wide range of challenging materials.

• Reliable Pneumatics: An SNS pneumatic system delivers consistent power for the vacuum cups and other actuators. Requires an air source of 0.6-0.7 Mpa with a consumption of approximately 1.5m³/min.

• Advanced Control & Safety: The original Omron CNC control system offers precision, programmability, and user-friendly operation. A comprehensive safety protection system prioritizes operator and equipment safety during all operations.

• Dependable Electrical System: Ensures consistent power delivery and system integration.
