Automatic Sheet Material Handling Equipment – Herochu 3‑Axis Robot for Metal, Wood & Plastic

Across industries—from automotive stamping to furniture manufacturing—sheet materials are the fundamental feedstock. Yet, moving these sheets from storage to processing remains stubbornly manual in many facilities. Operators lift heavy plates, stack them on carts, and feed them into saws, presses, or routers. This manual approach introduces risks of injury, surface damage, and inconsistent production rhythm. Herochu introduces a new class of automatic sheet material handling equipment: a three‑axis Cartesian robot designed specifically for flat sheets of metal, wood, and plastic. This article explores the engineering, benefits, and applications of this versatile handling system.
