OverviewSTOPA large-scale storage systems act as a logistics centre for sheet metal production. Configured to customer requirements, the systems are flexible in length, width, height and sheet format and provide storage for raw sheets, finished parts, scrap skeletons and tube profiles.
Key benefits- Continuous supply – feeds production machines 24/7 to support uninterrupted workflows.
- Low maintenance – engineered for reduced maintenance effort compared with conventional large-scale storage solutions.
- Maximum capacity – full steel construction to maximise storage density for sheets and profiles.
- Energy saving – energy recovery reduces consumption by up to 25% versus conventional systems.
Functionality and usageModular, customised layouts enable adaptation to specific plant dimensions and sheet formats. The system stores and handles raw sheets, finished parts, scrap grids and tube profiles and serves as a central buffer for automated material flow in sheet metal processing.
SoftwareTRUMPF software can be combined with machines and services to optimise production processes and implement Industry 4.0 / Smart Factory functions together with STOPA storage systems.
System examples / Process interlinkingTypical integrations include connections to bending, punching and laser cells (examples: TruBend Cell, TruPunch, TruLaser) to ensure smooth material and information flow.
