Sheet metal production machine ALU series

automaticmodularautomated

Overview
The ALU Series laser automation system integrates storage, material handling, laser processing interface and scrap management to support continuous, low-staff sheet metal production. Designed for flexible integration into metal forming lines, the system coordinates scheduling, material picking, loading/unloading and stacking to optimize throughput and floor space.

Key benefits / features

• Enables highly unmanned or low‑manpower production with centralized FMS control
• Smart control with self‑diagnosis to reduce downtime and simplify maintenance
• Modular architecture with reserved interfaces for future expansion
• Configurable storage and handling to match plant layout and production mix

Main components and descriptions

• Storage Tower — Single or double tower configurations; standard 10/15/20/30/40 storage positions (customizable). Intelligent detection automatically measures sheet weight and height; over‑limit alarms prevent errors.
• Automatic Loading Robot — Vacuum cup based, single‑structure design with zoning control. Includes sheet separation and thickness detection to ensure single‑sheet pick and reliable feeding across plate sizes.
• Automatic Unloading Robot — Servo‑driven for accurate positioning and fast, flexible transfer. Uses a comb‑style fork structure for secure handling.
• Electric Double Layer Exchangeable Carts — High/low double‑layer sorting platform that saves floor space and supports dual workstation operation. Maximum raw material platform capacity: 3 t.
• Modular Design — Reserved extension interfaces allow adding cutting machines to achieve 1‑to‑2, 1‑to‑3 or 1‑to‑n configurations according to production needs.
