SheetTower AS/RS for Fiber Laser Cutting

A fiber laser can only cut as fast as the material flow feeding it. If operators are waiting on forklifts, searching for sheets, or manually moving pallets, the laser cell is losing production time before the first cut starts.

SheetTower AS/RS systems help fabrication shops organize sheet inventory, store more material in less floor space, and prepare for automated loading and unloading around 4x8, 5x10, and 6x12 fiber laser systems.

Why U.S. shops look at SheetTower automation

• High-mix sheet inventory is hard to manage manually
• Laser tables sit idle while operators find material
• Forklift traffic creates congestion and safety risk
• Floor space is expensive and often already full
• Material damage increases when sheets are repeatedly handled
• Night-shift or lights-out cutting requires better material staging

What SheetTower AS/RS does

• Stores sheet pallets vertically
• Organizes material by size, type, grade, and thickness
• Supports faster retrieval for laser cutting workflows
• Creates a foundation for loader, unloader, and laser interface integration
• Helps reduce forklift touches and manual searching

Typical configurations

• 4x8 SheetTower for compact shops
• 5x10 SheetTower for standard laser cutting operations
• 6x12 SheetTower for larger-format cutting cells
• 20-pallet, 30-pallet, 40-pallet, and 60-pallet systems depending on inventory volume

What to send for a quote

• Sheet size and maximum pallet weight
• Number of materials and thicknesses stored
• Laser table size and machine brand
• Current loading method
• Ceiling height, floor space, aisle access, and building constraints
• Target workflow: storage only, storage plus loading, or full laser cell automation
