• Eliminate Manual Lifting Injuries: OSHA ranks metal sheet handling as one of the top causes of back strains and shoulder injuries in manufacturing. Herochu’s manipulator does the heavy lifting—equipped with emergency stop buttons and automatic braking, it shuts down instantly if a worker steps into its path. A Texas electrical cabinet shop saw zero lifting-related injuries in the first year after installation, cutting their workers’ comp costs by $24,000.​

• Cut Labor Dependency: Two workers might spend 8 hours a day feeding 500kg plates to a laser cutter. Herochu’s manipulator handles the same workload with one operator overseeing the system—freeing up staff for higher-skill tasks like quality control or machine maintenance. A Ohio metal fabricator reallocated 3 full-time roles to production after adding three manipulators, boosting overall output by 20%.​

• Reduce Material Waste: Misaligned plates lead to scrapped parts—costing shops thousands annually in wasted steel. Herochu’s high-torque servo lifting mechanism and multiple heavy-duty, oil-resistant suction cups (each with independent open/close valves) grip plates securely and position them perfectly. A Michigan shop specializing in custom metal sheets reduced scrap rates from 12% to 3% within the first month.​

• Save Space with Modular Design: Unlike fixed automation systems that take over floor space, Herochu’s manipulator uses a modular assembly structure. It’s easy to assemble, disassemble, or reposition—ideal for shops that rearrange production lines seasonally. A California kitchenware factory even moved their manipulator between two stamping machines, avoiding the need to buy a second unit.​

• Articulated Robot Body: Flexible enough to reach tight machine corners, yet sturdy enough to support 1000kg loads without sway.​

• Servo Synchronous Lifting Mechanism: Delivers smooth, controlled movement, even when handling unevenly weighted plates.​

• SNS Pneumatic System: Works with the suction cups to create a strong, consistent grip—even on oily or dusty sheets.​

• Omron CNC Control System: Industry-leading technology that ensures precise positioning and easy programming. Operators can save custom settings for different plate sizes, cutting setup time by 50%.​

• Power Failure Safety System: If the power cuts out, the manipulator locks in place, preventing plates from dropping and protecting both workers and machinery.​

• Thickness & Weight: Choose from 1-8mm (300kg), 1-14mm (500kg), or 1-14mm (1000kg) models—or customize for non-standard plate specs (e.g., 2mm–18mm, 750kg capacity).​

• Machine Compatibility: We’ll adjust the swing arm’s reach and height to match your existing equipment, from small stamping presses to large CNC routers.​

• Control Features: Add touchscreen interfaces for easy operation, or integrate with your workshop’s ERP system to track feeding cycles and maintenance schedules.​

• Environment Adaptations: For humid or dusty shops, we offer corrosion-resistant coatings on the frame and sealed electrical components to prevent breakdowns.​
