Metal Fabrication Processes

In China, elevator is classified as special equipment, and the country has strict requirements for its manufacturing, installation and use to ensure safety and reliability, thereby protecting the personal and property safety of users. Various components, accessories and panels of elevator require various techniques such as cutting, bending and stamping. In recent years, laser technology has been widely applied in sheet metal processing of elevator.

SENFENG's Advantages

As demands for elevator continue to increase, the safety, space constraints and aesthetic requirements have become challenges that must be addressed during elevator manufacturing. Fortunately, SENFENG, with cutting-edge laser technologies, can provide well-targeted solutions for elevator manufacturers.

01ASPECT

Offer Complete Product Line

For safety reasons, elevator components (elevator car, door and foot plate) are primarily made of metallic materials such as painted and stainless steel plates. All these metals fall within the processing range of SENFENG products. We have developed sheet, tube laser cutting machines, flexible panel benders and various handheld/robot-assisted laser welding machines. All are capable of handling with most metallic materials on the market, meeting the diverse needs of elevator users.

02ASPECT

Make Elevator More Aesthetically Pleasing

The manufacturing of elevator often involves stainless steel plates and film materials, which require high level of surface finish. Using SENFENG’s laser cutting machines will bring about smooth cutting lines with high surface quality, eliminate mold wear and allow for the finer and smaller sharp corners. This helps to prevent workpiece deformation, improve elevator quality and make elevator manufacturers more competitive.

03ASPECT

High Flexibility of Elevator Production

With the rising of people’s aesthetic sense, the variety and shape of elevator have increased, along with more complex contours that ordinary machines can’t achieve. SENFENG’s laser cutting machines are highly automated and intelligent, capable of handling various irregular workpieces, as thus, reduce labor intensity for operators and streamline manufacturing workflows.

Keep Elevator Safe

Traditional reinforcement ribs for elevator car, car top and bottom are typically connected by using adhesive methods. While this approach is cost-effective, it has poor durability and low strength, leading to detachment over time. So it is only suitable for ordinary elevators. However, future high-rise elevators will play a crucial role as lifelines in fire emergencies. In this way, such traditional processes must be improved. SENFENG’s laser welding offers deep penetration, minimal deformation, high strength and a small heat-affected zone, helping to maintain the original performance of raw materials. In some cases, its welding strength even exceeds that of the base material, and the welds are solid and nice-looking, meeting the requirements for high-rise elevators at present and in the future.

Relevant Customer Case

The customer has been in cooperation with us since the year of 2009. It primarily produces elevator components such as elevator car and door for office and residential buildings, with sales covering nearly 5 provinces in the northern China. Over the years, it has introduced different laser machines from SENFENG, incl. flexible sheet production line and sheet laser cutting machines. As its production capacity has steadily increased, the tasks for SENFENG machines in this customer’s workshop have also become increasingly important. The efficient laser cutting ensures its continuous capacity growth.
