Laser cutting boosts the acceleration of the elevator industry

After the reform and opening up, China's industrialization and urbanization progressed rapidly, especially after 2003, the rapid development of the real estate market across the country, and high-rise office buildings rose from the ground, driving the explosive growth of the elevator manufacturing and consumer market.

According to statistics from the Elevator Association, the number of elevators manufactured in 2015 was 760,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 6%, and the number of elevators held was 4.25 million units, a year-on-year increase of 18.3%. Based on the average unit price of 200,000 yuan per elevator, the current domestic elevator market is already a market with a scale of 100 billion yuan. Compared with the output of 110,000 units in 2004, China's elevator production in 2014 increased 5.5 times, and the average annual compound growth rate in the past 10 years was about 20%. At present, China is the country with the largest elevator consumption and ownership in the world. In 2015, the domestic elevator ownership was close to 4.3 million units, and 65% of the world's elevators were sold in China.

Because of the earlier industrialization and urbanization in Europe, America, Japan and other countries, the elevator industry has developed more maturely. From the perspective of global market share, brands in Europe, America and Japan have almost dominated the elevator industry. Among them, the six major brands of Otis, Schindler, Thyssen, KONE, Mitsubishi and Hitachi account for more than 60% of the global market. With the development of the elevator industry, competition has become increasingly fierce. At present, 70% of the world's elevators are manufactured in China, and there are more than 700 domestic elevator brand complete machine manufacturers.

With the expansion of market demand, the cycle of new elevator products is getting shorter and shorter. In addition, there are many types of sheet metal parts in the elevator industry. Restrictions, multi-station stamping machine tools sometimes cannot meet the processing needs, and sometimes the production cycle is prolonged due to the long mold manufacturing cycle, and is gradually replaced by laser cutting.

Compared with the old processing technology, fiber laser cutting technology has significant advantages. Optical fiber technology has better flexibility and lower operating cost. It can not only cut high-quality sheet metal materials, film materials, mirror materials, etc., but also cut various complex components. The cutting speed is extremely fast, which greatly improves production efficiency.

There are many stainless steel plates and film materials in the elevator industry, and the requirements for the smoothness of the section are relatively high. Compared with the traditional CNC punching machine, laser cutting has the advantages of high surface finish, no cutting edge, and no mold loss. The fiber laser cutting machine can also cut finer and smaller sharp corners, which can effectively avoid the plastic deformation of the workpiece during the punching process, and enhance the core competitiveness of the product.

Laser cutting technology has higher cutting accuracy and faster processing speed. HG Laser uses advanced laser cutting technology to improve product production efficiency, create beautiful and high-quality finished products, and improve equipment automation, intelligence, and enhancement The core competitiveness of the product seizes the first opportunity in the industry competition.
