Beyond Storage: The Engine of an Automated Production Cell

Herochu’s Two Tower System isn’t just a warehouse; it’s the central nervous system for a continuous, automated manufacturing process. This complete solution integrates:

1. Two Tower Plate Storage Warehouse: The high-density heart, storing massive plate volumes vertically.

2. Bilateral Gantry Truss: Provides the robust overhead framework for precision material transport.

3. Loading Truss Manipulator: Automates plate intake from forklift or overhead crane into storage.

4. Unloading Truss Manipulator: Retrieves plates and delivers them precisely for processing.

5. Double-Layer Finished Material Truck: Efficiently transports plates to the downstream station.

6. Laser Cutting Machine: The primary processing unit, fed seamlessly by the automated system.

7. Centralized PLC Control System + Touch Screen: Intelligently manages the entire workflow, from storage to cutting.

This integrated unit eliminates all manual plate handling between storage and the laser cutter. The result? Continuous, automated material flow, dramatically boosting throughput, consistency, and safety.

Revolutionizing Density & Material Flow: The Two-Tower Advantage

The core innovation lies in the dual-tower architecture, delivering unmatched efficiency:

• Unprecedented Storage Density: Achieve approximately double the capacity of single-tower systems within the same footprint. Reclaim critical production floor space previously lost to sprawling storage.

• Centralized Unloading Efficiency: A single, high-performance electric unloading truss manipulator seamlessly serves both storage towers. This maximizes equipment utilization, minimizes capital investment, and simplifies maintenance.

• Optimized Material Presentation: Supports flexible side or rear discharging options, ensuring perfect alignment with your specific laser cutter’s loading mechanism and workshop layout.

• Dual Raw Material Intake: Accommodates real-world logistics with both forklift and overhead crane feeding options for bringing raw plates into the system, providing operational flexibility.

Core Technical Specifications & Performance

Tangible Benefits Driving ROI

• Radically Increase Production Throughput: Eliminate manual handling delays. Achieve near-continuous laser cutting operation, maximizing machine uptime and output.

• Slash Labor Costs & Enhance Safety: Remove personnel from hazardous plate handling tasks (loading/unloading, transport to laser). Redirect labor to value-added activities.

• Reclaim Valuable Production Space: The double-density storage frees up significant floor area previously used for plates or aisles, usable for additional production capacity.

• Eliminate Manual Handling Damage: Automated transfer ensures plates are handled consistently and securely, protecting sensitive surfaces and edges.

• Improve Inventory Accuracy & Traceability: Centralized digital control provides real-time visibility of every plate in storage (size, location, material).

• Enhance Production Consistency & Scheduling: Predictable, automated material supply enables tighter scheduling and reduces workflow disruptions.

• Future-Proof Scalability: The modular design allows for future expansion or integration with additional downstream processes.

The Herochu Customization Advantage: Precision Integration

No two production lines are identical. Herochu’s system is engineered for seamless integration, starting at $57,200:
