The booming development of China’s economy, especially the surge in real estate and infrastructure construction, has led to a surge in demand for elevators and related accessories. The elevator manufacturing and parts industry has entered a new stage of development, with the market size estimated to have reached hundreds of billions of yuan. The contradiction between continuously growing product demand and outdated production processes is intensifying, leading to the increasingly widespread application of laser technology in elevator manufacturing. In the 1990s, elevator manufacturers primarily used multi-station punch presses to process sheet metal. With the continuous maturation and improvement of laser processing technology, laser cutting technology has gradually been applied to the elevator industry, highlighting its unique advantages.

The elevator industry produces a wide variety of sheet metal parts in small quantities, many of which are custom-made according to customer requirements. High standards are placed on the surface finish and processing lines of stainless steel decorative panels. As people’s aesthetic standards improve, the variety of product designs and shapes is increasing, with complex contours that cannot be achieved using ordinary processing methods. Fiber laser cutting machines have become a new favorite in the elevator manufacturing industry due to their advantages such as flexible processing, short processing cycle, good cutting effect, high processing flexibility, and high degree of automation and intelligence. They reduce product development and production costs, improve elevator quality, effectively reduce the labor intensity of operators, and optimize production processes.
