Sheet Metal Storage & Fiber Laser Automation

Sheet Metal Storage & Fiber Laser Automation for U.S. Fabrication Shops

UmproTech helps U.S. fabrication shops, laser cutting operations, OEM manufacturers and steel processing teams organize sheet metal inventory, reduce forklift handling, improve material flow, and automate loading and unloading around fiber laser cutting machines.

This hub connects three levels of shop automation: roll-out sheet racks for organized manual storage, SheetTower AS/RS automated sheet storage systems for palletized sheet inventory, and fiber laser loading and unloading automation for production laser cells.

Choose your automation path

• Roll-out sheet racks: practical 4x8, 5x10 and 6x12 sheet storage for fabrication shops that need safer, faster access to material.
• SheetTower AS/RS: automated sheet storage and retrieval systems for laser cutting cells, high-mix production and organized sheet inventory.
• Loader, unloader and stacker kits: automation accessories for moving sheets between storage, laser cutting and finished part handling.
• Laser interface kits: integration support for connecting automated sheet storage with fiber laser cutting systems.
• UMT-LASER-LOAD: fiber laser loading and unloading automation for shops that want to reduce manual handling and increase cutting cell uptime.
