In recent years, with the rapid development of the real estate industry and the rapid development of the elevator manufacturing industry, the elevator manufacturing and elevator accessories industry has ushered in a new development stage. China's elevator market maintains an annual growth rate of 20%, and its market scale has reached 100 billion. The elevator has been used in thousands of households and commercial buildings, which is inseparable from our life. However, the contradiction between the continuously increasing demand for products and the outdated and backward production technology is increasing day by day, and the traditional technology has completely failed to meet the demand. With the wide application of laser processing technology in various industries and fields, the traditional production mode involving welding and cutting technology in elevator manufacturing is facing the impact and test of laser technology.

At present, most of the elevator materials used in commercial or residential buildings are metal and stainless steel. As we all know, the process of stainless steel processing is very suitable for laser processing. Compared with the traditional CNC punch, laser processing has the advantages of high surface finish, no knife edge and no die loss. The stainless steel materials used in the elevator have high requirements for the edges. The cutting edges must be flat, smooth and free of burrs. The precision laser cutting machine can cut metal materials of various materials with high speed and high efficiency. The cutting speed of thin plates can reach several 10 meters per minute. The cutting edges have good quality, small deformation, flat and beautiful appearance, simple and flexible operation. It is the first choice for the stainless steel cutting process. China's laser cutting machine manufacturers are constantly emerging, and they have started to build factories to manufacture machines, realizing automatic production of products.

The advantages of laser cutting equipment in the elevator industry are shown in the following aspects:

Short processing cycle

There are many kinds and small quantities of sheet metal parts in the elevator industry, and many of them need to be determined according to the requirements of customers. Due to the limitation of tonnage and mold, some sheet metal parts cannot be processed or the production cycle of the mold is long, which leads to the lengthening of the production cycle. Moreover, the programming is relatively complicated and the requirements for operators are relatively high. Therefore, the advantages of flexible laser cutting technology have been brought into play, reducing the cost of product development.

Good cutting effect

There are many stainless steel decorative plates with high surface finish requirements. The processed lines should be smooth and beautiful. The multi station punch processing is easy to affect the surface finish of the plate. The laser processing means has no mechanical stress, avoids the deformation during the cutting process, improves the elevator quality, raises the product grade, and enhances the core competitiveness of the enterprise.

High processing flexibility

With the improvement of people's aesthetic level, the design of products has also increased, and the variety of product shapes has increased. However, the number is small and the outline is complex, which cannot be realized by ordinary processing methods. Laser cutting has a high degree of automation and intelligence, which can cope with the processing of various special-shaped workpieces, effectively reduce the labor intensity of operators and optimize the production process.

The extensive promotion and application of advanced laser technology has greatly enhanced the elevator manufacturing industry, reduced the labor cost of enterprises, and improved the production efficiency and product quality consistency.

At the same time, the major elevator manufacturers also realize that the automation solutions covering laser cutting, laser welding, and laser marking processes are the technical guarantee and development trend of "intelligent processing", "high-efficiency processing" and "high-quality processing" in the future elevator manufacturing field.
