Automation Equipment FAQ's

A: HSG offers a full automation lineup designed to match different production scales:

  • ALM – Compact automatic loading/unloading system for smaller shops
  • ALG – Heavy-duty, high-capacity loading/unloading automation for fast-paced, high-volume production
  • STORE – Smart sheet metal storage tower that automates material handling and retrieval

Each system is modular and designed to increase machine uptime while reducing manual labor.

A: HSG automation systems help:

  • Reduce labor and handling time
  • Speed up production cycles
  • Enable lights-out and multi-shift operation
  • Improve shop safety and reduce material damage

Together, they turn a standalone laser into a high efficiency cutting cell

A: Here are the differences:

  • ALM: Best for limited floor space and lower volume — compact, efficient, affordable
  • ALG: Designed for high-speed, high-volume production — faster cycle times, higher load capacity
  • STORE: An automated sheet tower that integrates with ALM or ALG for material storage, retrieval, and job queuing — ideal for lights-out production

A: Yes! HSG machines are automation-ready, meaning you can start with a manual system and add ALM, ALG, or STORE later as your workload grows.

A: Installation typically takes 3–7 days, depending on the system (ALM is faster; ALG + STORE may take longer). HSG-certified techs handle installation, calibration, and operator training.  Total installation days will depend on the machine model, wattage, and automation solution.

A: Yes — training is included with every automation setup by an HSG Technician. The system is controlled through the HSG Alpha or Alpha A CNC interface, which is user-friendly and intuitive, even for first-time users.  Total training days will depend on the machine model, wattage, and automation solution.

A: Absolutely. HSG systems can be configured to handle varied sheet sizes, material thicknesses, and metal types, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Material changeovers are quick and repeatable.

A: Typical ROI ranges from 12–24 months, depending on usage. Benefits include:

  • Reduced labor costs
  • Faster job completion
  • Less material waste and downtime
  • Higher output per shift

Automation pays off quickly in busy fabrication environments.
