Laser Cutting Technology Boosts Production in The Elevator Industry

Laser cutting machine used in elevator industry

Fiber laser technology has been very mature after several years of precipitation, and it has gradually entered the field of industrial manufacturing. In the past few years, industrial laser manufacturing equipment has spread across the production lines of various industries, and many objects in life are related to laser technology. This article mainly introduces the laser technology used in elevator manufacturing.

Elevator is a product that we can often come into contact with in our lives. Its appearance has provided great convenience to life, and it has gradually been widely used in high-rise buildings. At present, there are two mainstream elevators on the market: vertical elevators and escalators. Elevating elevators are widely used in high-rise buildings such as residential high-rise buildings and office buildings, while escalators are mainly used in low-rise shopping malls, hospitals and other places.

The main structure of the elevator is composed of car body, traction part, control system, automatic door, safety system and so on. A large number of steel plates are used in elevators, such as doors and cars; pedal transmission parts in escalator elevators, walls on both sides, etc. These parts can be processed by fiber laser cutting machine.

The elevator itself needs to have a certain load-bearing capacity, and the use of steel plate construction is extremely suitable. When the laser cutting machine is not widely used, the elevator manufacturing still uses traditional punching, sawing and other methods. Because this method is not efficient, and the steel plate often needs to be polished after trimming, it is prone to errors, which is not conducive to the subsequent precision structure. Elevators not only need stable performance, but also have certain requirements on appearance precision. In public places such as shopping malls, the aesthetics of elevators will also have a certain impact on people’s shopping psychology.

Generally speaking, the steel plates of the common elevator car body and doors are 304 stainless steel with a thickness of 0.8mm, and some steel plates up to 1.2mm are used. Taking into account the cutting production speed, generally 3000w fiber laser cutting machine can achieve fast cutting processing. The cutting surface of the processed workpiece is smooth and the welding process can be directly carried out without grinding treatment.

With the fiber laser cutting machine, the overall production of the elevator industry will definitely be upgraded to a higher level. It is optimistically expected that the processing demand of elevators and related products in the future will need hundreds of cutting or welding equipment to the laser industry every year. This is a subdivision where laser technology can play an important role.
