Automatic Plate Loading and Unloading System Fiber Laser Cutting Machine Manufacturer Metal Steel Sheet Feeding

Revolutionize Metal Fabrication with the Herochu Automatic Plate Loading & Unloading System for Fiber Laser Cutting

The Fully Integrated Turnkey Solution for Lights-Out Manufacturing and Unprecedented Productivity

In the competitive landscape of modern metal fabrication, efficiency isn’t just a goal—it’s the very foundation of profitability and growth. Manual handling of heavy, cumbersome steel sheets is a primary source of bottleneck, consuming valuable machine time, increasing labor costs, and posing significant safety risks. To stay ahead, forward-thinking manufacturers are embracing automation not as a luxury, but as a necessary evolution.

Herochu, a leader in advanced industrial storage and automation solutions, presents the definitive answer: the Automatic Plate Loading and Unloading System. This state-of-the-art, fully integrated cell seamlessly connects a high-capacity storage warehouse to your fiber laser cutting machine, creating a continuous, automated production unit. Engineered for precision, reliability, and brute strength, this system transforms your workflow from a series of manual tasks into a seamless, automated symphony of efficiency, enabling true 24/7 lights-out manufacturing.

The Herochu Automated Production Cell: A Technological Breakdown

This is not merely an accessory; it’s a complete ecosystem designed for autonomous operation. The system integrates several sophisticated components into a single, PLC-controlled unit:

1. Three-Dimensional Storage Warehouse: The heart of the system. This robust, double-tower warehouse features 8 to 13 floors, offering massive storage capacity right at the point of production. With a massive load capacity of 3 to 5 tonnes per layer, it can hold an entire shift’s—or even a full day’s—worth of raw materials, eliminating constant material handling and preparation.

2. Double-Sided Gantry Truss & Manipulators: The muscle and the hands. A precision-engineered gantry system operates between the warehouse and the laser machine. It is equipped with two intelligent manipulators:

   • Loading Truss Manipulator: Automatically retrieves raw sheets from the storage warehouse and loads them onto the laser cutting machine bed with pinpoint accuracy.

   • Unloading Truss Manipulator: Simultaneously unloads finished, cut parts from the laser machine and places them onto the finished material truck, while the loading manipulator places a new raw sheet. This simultaneous operation is the key to drastically reducing cycle times.

3. Double-Layer Finished Material Truck: A smart staging area that efficiently organizes and holds cut parts and skeletons after unloading, keeping the work area clear and organized.

4. Centralized PLC Control System: The brain of the operation. This advanced control system seamlessly integrates with your fiber laser cutter’s CNC, creating a unified command center. It manages every aspect of the process—from inventory tracking and retrieval to the synchronized dance of the manipulators—ensuring flawless, unattended operation.

Unmatched Features & Tangible Benefits

• Achieve True Lights-Out Manufacturing: Run production overnight and during weekends completely unattended. Maximize your laser cutter’s uptime from an average of 30-40% to over 85%, effectively multiplying your output and ROI.

• Eliminate Labor Costs & Safety Hazards: Remove workers from the dangerous tasks of manually loading and unloading heavy, sharp-edged sheets. This significantly reduces the risk of workplace injuries and frees your skilled labor for higher-value tasks like programming, quality control, and packaging.

• Unparalleled Precision and Zero Damage: Automated handling ensures every sheet is placed perfectly on the machine bed, eliminating misalignment and reducing scrap caused by human error. Vacuum or magnetic grippers handle materials gently, preventing scratches and damage to sensitive surfaces.

• Superior Inventory Management: The integrated storage warehouse acts as a buffer, allowing for better inventory control and just-in-time material presentation to the machine. Know exactly what material is where and automate your production sequencing.

• Future-Proof Customization: The Herochu system is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is fully customizable (starting from $17,999) to fit your specific workshop layout, laser machine model (3015, 4015, 4020, 6015, 6020, 6025mm), and material throughput requirements. From maximum load capacity to the number of storage floors, we engineer it to your needs.
