ALU Series Automatic Loading and Unloading System-Han's Laser

ALU Series Automatic Loading and Unloading System

The ALU Series is a fully automated solution that streamlines the entire sheet metal workflow, from loading and cutting to unloading and scrap transfer. Key benefits include:

Modular & Scalable: Flexible 1-to-N expansion and MES-ready interface for future growth and smart factory integration.

High Speed & Precision: Servo-controlled movements with horizontal speed up to 60 m/min, lift 9 m/min, fork 10 m/min, and positioning accuracy <1 mm.

Smart Material Management: Multi-tower storage monitors weight and height, handling raw to finished sheets with error-prevention alerts.

ALU Series Laser Cutting Automation Line

Delivers a fully automated production flow—from scheduling, sheet storage, material retrieval, loading, cutting, unloading, to scrap transfer—achieving a continuous and highly flexible manufacturing cycle.
With its modular structure and intelligent coordination, the ALU system significantly shortens processing steps, reduces labor and time costs, and supports high-volume, uninterrupted production.

Each module can be freely configured to meet specific production needs, with reserved expansion and MES interfaces for future integration into a smart digital workshop.

Higher Speed: Horizontal travel up to 60 m/min; lifting speed up to 9 m/min; fork open/close speed up to 10 m/min.
Higher Precision: High-torque servo motor control ensures positioning accuracy within ±1 mm.
Higher Efficiency: Increases overall productivity by 25–30%.

Smart Material Storage: Intelligent and Space-Saving

Single or dual-tower configurations available with 10, 15, 20, 30, or 40 storage slots, customizable on demand.
Multi-column warehouses combined with stackers enable large-scale intelligent storage for raw materials, semi-finished, and finished products—supporting multi-process linkage across sheet metal workshops.
Equipped with intelligent detection for automatic weight and height measurement upon storage, with over-limit alarms to prevent errors.

Automatic Loading Robot: Fast, Accurate, and Reliable

Servo-Controlled Motion: The robot is driven by servo motors for precise positioning and fast, agile movements.
Vacuum Suction Cups: Sheets are picked up using vacuum cups, each independently controlled for shorter response times and reliable operation.
Adjustable Suction Zones: Suction cup areas can be reconfigured to fit different sheet sizes as needed.
Sheet Separation Function: Equipped with a sheet separation mechanism to ensure single-sheet handling.
Thickness Detection: Automatically measures sheet thickness to guarantee consistent one-at-a-time loading.

Automatic Unloading Robot: Stronger Load Capacity, Stable Operation

Servo-Controlled Precision: High-torque servo motors enable accurate positioning and fast, efficient movements.
Fork-Type Unloading: The embrace-style fork simplifies sheet removal and ensures smooth operation.
Reinforced Fork Construction: Forks are made from high-quality 30×30×3 mm steel tubing for increased rigidity and higher load capacity.
Anti-Jamming Design: The fork tips are angled to prevent material jams, ensuring stable and reliable operation.

Double-Layer Sorting Table: Efficient and Time-Saving

High-Low Configuration: Two-level sorting table allows upper and lower layers to alternate when fully loaded.
High Load Capacity: Supports up to 3 tons, enabling centralized sorting without delays.
Optimized Workflow: Reduces waiting time and improves overall efficiency in material handling.

Smart Scheduling & Real-Time Control

1.Integrated FMS Scheduling System
An additional “brain” works alongside the cutting machine CNC and the loading/unloading PLC, enabling one-click task assignment. This eliminates the need to operate each device separately and makes overall operation more intelligent and streamlined.

2.Real-Time Monitoring of Equipment and Production
Users can view machine status, loading/unloading commands, job progress, operation logs, and historical records directly on the interface, providing clear visibility and easier production management.

Scalable Modular Architecture

Modular Setup: Supports flexible module combinations based on production needs.
Expandable Design: Reserved interfaces allow line extension and 1-to-N machine expansion.
MES Integration Ready: Optional data interfaces prepared for future MES connectivity.

Compatible Machine Models

The ALU Series automatic loading and unloading line is engineered specifically for Han’s Laser cutting machines and supports compatibility across multiple product series.
