Loading/unloading System for Fiber Laser Cutting Machine

Loading/unloading System for Fiber Laser Cutting Machine

At the heart of the system is an independent vacuum loading and unloading unit. Unlike basic systems that rely on mechanical clamps (which can scratch or damage materials), the vacuum system uses controlled suction to lift and move sheets gently. This not only protects delicate surfaces but also ensures a secure grip on even irregularly shaped materials. The independent design means loading and unloading can happen simultaneously: while the system unloads a finished part from the laser cutter, it’s already fetching the next raw sheet from storage. This parallel workflow cuts cycle times by up to 40%, keeping your laser cutter operating at peak capacity.

Herochu Loading/unloading System for Fiber Laser Cutting Machine: Elevate Material Handling Efficiency

In the world of fiber laser cutting, where precision and speed define success, material handling often becomes the hidden bottleneck. Even the most advanced laser cutter can’t reach its full potential if operators are stuck manually loading heavy sheets, waiting to unload finished parts, or struggling to organize raw materials. These manual tasks waste time, increase labor costs, and introduce the risk of errors—from scratched sheets to misaligned loads that ruin cuts. Herochu’s Loading/unloading System for Fiber Laser Cutting Machine was built to eliminate these pain points. This integrated, customizable solution automates every step of material handling, turning disjointed workflows into seamless operations. Whether you’re running a small fabrication shop or a high-volume manufacturing facility, this system ensures your laser cutter stays productive—so you can focus on delivering quality parts, not managing materials.

Built for Industrial Versatility: Key Specifications

Herochu’s Loading/unloading System is engineered to work with the most common fiber laser cutting machine sizes, ensuring compatibility with your existing setup or new equipment. It offers six standard working area configurations to match your production needs: 3015mm, 4015mm, 4020mm, 6015mm, 6020mm, and 6025mm. This range covers everything from small-batch precision parts (e.g., 3015mm for electronics components) to large-format sheets (e.g., 6025mm for automotive body panels or construction metalwork). No matter the size of your laser cutter, the system adapts to keep material flow smooth.

Beyond size, the system’s structural specs are designed for industrial durability. It features 8–13 storage floors, giving you ample space to organize raw materials or finished parts without cluttering your workshop floor. Each layer supports a robust 3T or 5T load—enough to handle thick steel sheets, heavy aluminum plates, or dense copper coils. This high load capacity means you won’t need separate storage racks for heavy materials; the system doubles as both a handling tool and organized storage, maximizing your space efficiency.

For movement, the system relies on a linear guide rail + chain setup paired with chain drive transmission. This combination delivers two critical benefits: precision and reliability. The linear guide rails ensure materials glide smoothly without shifting, even when carrying maximum loads, while the chain drive provides consistent power transfer—eliminating jams or slowdowns that disrupt production. When it comes to speed, the system keeps pace with your laser cutter: vertical lifting speed reaches 9m/min, and inlet/outlet speeds hit 12m/min. This means raw sheets move from storage to the laser table in seconds, and finished parts are unloaded just as fast—so your laser cutter never sits idle waiting for material.

To protect delicate or thin sheets, the system offers optional plate support. This customizable add-on prevents warping during transport, ensuring thin materials (like 0.5mm stainless steel) stay flat and aligned—critical for maintaining cut quality. Whether you’re handling heavy plates or fragile sheets, the system’s specs are tailored to keep your materials safe and your workflow on track.

Automation That Redefines Productivity: Core Features

The true power of Herochu’s Loading/unloading System lies in its automation capabilities—features designed to cut labor costs, reduce errors, and keep your production line running 24/7 if needed.

Independent Vacuum Loading & Unloading

Fully Automatic & Intelligent Operation

Forget about constant operator oversight. The system runs on fully automatic, intelligent programming that syncs with your fiber laser cutter. Once you input your production schedule, the system handles the rest: it retrieves the correct raw sheet from the appropriate storage floor, loads it onto the laser table with precision, waits for the cut to finish, then unloads the finished part (and separates scrap skeletons, if needed) before repeating the process. This “lights-out” capability lets you run production during off-hours—nights, weekends, or shifts with limited staff—without sacrificing quality or safety. For businesses struggling to recruit reliable operators, this feature is a game-changer: it reduces labor needs while increasing output.

Multi-Level Storage for Space Optimization

With 8–13 storage floors, the system turns vertical space into usable storage. This is a lifesaver for workshops with limited floor space: instead of spreading materials across pallets or separate racks (which take up valuable room and increase the risk of damage), you can store everything in one centralized system. The storage floors are adjustable, too—so you can customize the height between levels to fit different sheet thicknesses. Whether you’re storing 10mm steel plates or 2mm aluminum sheets, the system keeps materials organized and easily accessible. This not only saves space but also cuts down on time wasted searching for the right material.

Automatic Loading Platform with Forklift Coupling

Urgent orders happen—and the system is built to handle them without disrupting your schedule. It includes an automatic loading platform that connects directly to forklifts. If you need to prioritize a rush job, simply use a forklift to load the urgent material onto the platform; the system recognizes the new sheet, pauses its current cycle (without losing progress), and processes the urgent order first. Once done, it seamlessly resumes the original schedule. This flexibility ensures you never have to turn down last-minute orders or delay existing ones—keeping your customers happy and your production line agile.

EtherCAT Bus Communication for Seamless Integration

Modern manufacturing relies on connected systems—and Herochu’s Loading/unloading System is designed to fit into your smart workshop. It uses EtherCAT Bus communication, a fast, reliable industrial protocol that lets the system connect with your fiber laser cutter, ERP software, or other automation tools (like Herochu’s Heavy Duty Roll Out Metal Structure Racks). This integration means real-time data sharing: you can track material usage, monitor production progress, and adjust schedules from a single dashboard. For example, if the system detects low stock of a specific material, it can send an alert to your inventory team—preventing unexpected downtime. This level of connectivity turns the system from a standalone tool into a central part of your smart manufacturing ecosystem.

Customizable to Your Workshop: No One-Size-Fits-All Solutions

Herochu knows that every workshop has unique needs. A small fabricator handling custom parts has different requirements than a large manufacturer running high-volume production. That’s why the Loading/unloading System for Fiber Laser Cutting Machine is fully customizable, starting with:

Size Matching: Choose from 3015mm to 6025mm to fit your laser cutter’s working area. If your laser cutter has a non-standard size, we can build a custom system to match—no need to modify your existing equipment.

Load Capacity: Opt for 3T or 5T per layer, or request a higher capacity (up to 8T) for extra-heavy materials (e.g., thick steel plates for construction).

Storage Configuration: Adjust the number of storage floors (8–13) or the height between levels to fit your material inventory. We can also add dedicated scrap storage floors to keep waste separate from raw materials.

Add-Ons: Beyond optional plate support, we offer extras like automated scrap separation (to remove waste without operator input), barcode scanning (to track materials automatically), or climate control (for sensitive materials like copper).

Every customization is tested by Herochu’s engineering team to ensure it works in harmony with your laser cutter and existing workflow. Whether you’re retrofitting an old workshop or building a new production line, we’ll design a system that fits your space, your materials, and your budget.

Certified Quality: CE, EU, ISO 9001—Compliance You Can Trust

When investing in industrial automation, quality and safety are non-negotiable. Herochu’s Loading/unloading System meets or exceeds global standards, backed by three critical certifications:

ISO 9001: This certification ensures consistent quality in every component—from the linear guide rails to the vacuum pumps. Our manufacturing process is audited annually to maintain ISO 9001 compliance, so you know every system is built to last. We use high-grade steel for the frame, industrial-grade chains for transmission, and durable vacuum seals that resist wear—even after years of daily use.

CE & EU: For businesses operating in the European Union or exporting to EU markets, CE compliance is mandatory. The system meets all EU safety, health, and environmental regulations: it includes emergency stop buttons, protective guards around moving parts, and automated error detection (if a sheet shifts or a sensor fails, the system pauses immediately to prevent damage or injury). It also uses energy-efficient motors that reduce power consumption—aligning with EU environmental standards.

Rigorous Testing: Before any system ships, it undergoes 72 hours of continuous operation testing. We simulate real-world conditions: loading and unloading different material types (steel, aluminum, copper), running urgent orders, and testing communication with a fiber laser cutter. This ensures the system works flawlessly from day one—no costly downtime or adjustments after installation.

Solving Today’s Manufacturing Challenges: Why This System Is a Must-Have

Modern manufacturers face a host of challenges—rising labor costs, tight deadlines, limited space, and the need to adapt to small-batch orders. Herochu’s Loading/unloading System directly addresses these pain points:

Cut Labor Costs: By automating loading, unloading, and storage, the system reduces the number of operators needed for material handling. Customers report a 35–50% drop in labor costs related to laser cutting within the first year. For example, a medium-sized fabricator that previously needed two operators to handle materials can now run the same workflow with one—freeing up staff for higher-value tasks like quality control or design.

Minimize Material Waste: Manual handling often leads to damaged sheets—scratches, dents, or misalignments that make materials unusable. The system’s vacuum lifting and precise movement reduce waste by up to 25%. For high-cost materials like stainless steel or titanium, this savings adds up quickly: a 25% reduction in waste on a

30,000 a year.

Boost Throughput: With no manual delays, the system keeps your laser cutter running longer. Most customers see a 50–70% increase in output within months. For example, a laser cutter that previously processed 50 sheets a day can now handle 85–90 sheets—all without adding extra shifts.

Optimize Space: The multi-level storage turns vertical space into usable area. A workshop with a 6025mm system can store up to 13 layers of materials in the same floor space that would previously hold just 2–3 pallets. This frees up room for additional equipment or more workstations—helping you grow without moving to a larger facility.
