Herochu Vacuum Lifter for Electrical Panels – Precision, Power, and Workshop-Ready Flexibility
When every panel matters and every minute costs, the Herochu Vacuum Lifter for Electrical Panels becomes the quiet backbone of a profitable workshop. Engineered for fabricators who refuse to compromise on speed, safety, or surface quality, this CE-, EU-, and ISO 9001-certified pneumatic cantilever loading manipulator turns the heaviest electrical-panel blanks into weightless precision components. Prices start at USD 1,960 and every unit is built-to-order around your floor-plan, your crane rails, and your daily mix of sheet sizes.
One Base Frame, Three Payload Worlds
Choose the chassis that matches today’s reality—and tomorrow’s growth curve:
- Lite-Series: 1–8 mm thickness, 300 kg max, 4 000 × 1 500 mm maximum format
- Pro-Series: 1–12 mm thickness, 500 kg max, identical footprint
- Max-Series: 1–20 mm thickness, 1 000 kg max, same 4 000 × 1 500 mm outer boundary
All three configurations share a 1 250 × 1 250 mm minimum pick-up window and eight individually valved suction cups so you can down-size to a single switch-gear door or up-size to a full electrical enclosure side wall without tooling changes.
Pneumatic or Electric—You Decide, We Wire
Compressed-air workshops can stay pneumatic and cut tethered cables; plants that prefer 230 V or 400 V three-phase simply swap the venturi cartridge for a whisper-quiet rotary vacuum pump. Either way, energy consumption stays under 0.4 kWh per shift thanks to a closed-loop vacuum circuit that regenerates suction every time the beam descends.
Cantilever DNA That Reclaims Forgotten Airspace
Traditional gantry loaders demand a cathedral-sized bay. Herochu’s retractable cantilever folds back to 680 mm when idle, letting you reclaim aisle width for additional raw-stock racks or a second laser cutter. Telescopic rails accept 3 m, 4 m, or 6 m sticks of copper bus-bar, aluminum extrusion, or stainless DIN rail without extra fixtures—one machine feeds both sheet and long-part nests.
Automated Flow, Zero Idle Seconds
The on-board PLC talks natively with Trumpf, Bystronic, Amada, and Chinese-brand fiber lasers through Ethernet/IP. One handshake confirms nest coordinates; the lifter auto-adjusts cup zones, picks the top sheet, and releases only after the cutting table’s downdraft sensors confirm perfect placement. Typical loading cycle: 18 seconds for 4 × 1.5 m mild steel at 3 mm thickness—fast enough to keep a 6 kW laser yawning instead of waiting.
500 kg Feels Like 300 Grams to the Operator
An electronic load-cell balances the beam in real time. Raise or lower a 500 kg electrical-panel blank with two fingers; the servo-assist column glides so smoothly that edge-oil smears and hidden scratches disappear from your quality log. Four interchangeable handle lengths—450 mm, 600 mm, 850 mm, 1 100 mm—keep wrists straight whether the operator is 1.55 m or 1.95 m tall, eliminating the micro-tears in rotator cuffs that generate comp claims.
Safety That Cannot Be Overridden
Dual-circuit vacuum redundancy holds the load for a minimum of five minutes if shop air drops below 5 bar. An acoustic beacon chirps once the vacuum reservoir reaches −0.75 bar; a red halo LED band lights if pressure decays past −0.55 bar while the load is suspended. A mechanical paw latch grabs the beam instantly—no PLC logic required—so even a ruptured cup or cut hose will not drop a 500 kg stainless panel onto a $200k laser table.
Glass, Wood, Plastic—One Head Handles All
Switch to low-marking nitrile cups and the same lifter transports powder-coated glass epoxy panels for EV charging stations. Swap in conductive PE cups and move static-sensitive polycarbonate switch-gear windows. No tools, no calibration—each cup snaps off with a quarter-turn and snaps back with an audible click.
ROI in Months, Not Years
Replacing a two-man feeding team with a single operator and a Herochu saves around 5 600 man-hours per year in a two-shift shop. At USD 18/hour fully loaded, payback arrives in seven months even before you count the 30% laser throughput gain and the 40% reduction in re-cut scrap caused by double-sheet picks.
Customization Without the Custom Price
Need a 3 200 mm beam for narrow aisles? A 90° rotating wrist for vertical panel insertion into CNC folders? A stainless frame for food-grade enclosures? Each modification is engineered in SolidWorks, fatigue-tested for two million cycles, and shipped inside the same 25-day lead time as the standard build. You pay only for the steel and the extra machining hours—no NRE, no mystery surcharges.
Installation That Fits Between Two Coffee Breaks
The modular frame arrives in four pre-wired sub-assemblies. Two technicians, one forklift, and a 19 mm socket set have you operational before lunch. All airlines arrive in color-coded snap-lock bundles; the electrical cabinet is pre-certified to IP54 and wired to CE low-voltage directive 2014/35/EU. We provide the English, German, Spanish, and Polish control-face labels; you choose the language on the HMI splash screen.
Spare Parts for Decades
Every pneumatic valve, every silicone cup, every sealed bearing is an off-the-shelf European standard. We publish the BOM on the day of shipment so your maintenance team can stock replacements locally. Should you ever need factory support, Herochu keeps a live video-diagnosis channel open Monday to Saturday, 06:00–22:00 CET.
