Cabin walls, car doors and landing doors up to 2800 mm in hairline and coated stainless — formed straight, formed consistent, and never touched on the decorative face.
An elevator cabin is a set of long, flat, decorative panels that must sit flush against each other with no visible step, twist or wave — and whose surface is the product. Cabin wall panels, car door leaves, landing door leaves, ceilings and skirtings are typically 1.0 to 1.5 mm stainless steel in hairline, mirror, etched or PVD-coated finish, or coated steel, at lengths from 2000 to 2800 mm.
That drives three requirements no general-purpose machine meets well: straightness held over the full panel length so adjacent panels join flush; angle repeatability across a whole cabin set, because errors accumulate at every joint; and zero contact with the decorative face from blank to stack. The working set is a laser à fibre for blanking, a Cintreuse de panneaux CNC in D (2500) or D+ (2800) size with a cast-iron frame for the long panels, a machine à plier les bords à réglage flexible where panels need dead edges or arc returns, and a presse plieuse for stainless above the panel bender's 1.2 mm limit.

Elevator sheet metal splits into two families: long decorative panels where surface and straightness decide acceptance, and structural backing parts in heavier coated steel. The same cell handles both, with different frames and different tooling.
On a cabin wall set, four panels sit side by side. An angle error of half a degree on each becomes a visible step at the joint. Straightness of roughly 0.2 mm/m and angle accuracy of roughly ±0.5°/m are what keep the set assembling without shimming on site.
Hairline, mirror and PVD finishes cannot be reworked. Every drag across a back gauge, every glove mark, every bench edge is a rejected panel at full material cost. Vacuum pick-up moves the blank in the air; the decorative face is never in contact with anything.
This is where most enquiries go wrong. A panel bender handles stainless up to 1.2 mm at full bend length on a cast-iron frame. Many landing door specifications call for 1.5 mm. That part belongs on a press brake, or on a shorter bend length — and we say so before quoting, not after.
For elevator work, machine size is chosen by your longest cabin panel, not by average part size. Buying one size down is the most expensive saving in this industry.
Read the stainless row carefully. It is the single most common mismatch in elevator enquiries, and we would rather lose the order than supply a machine that cannot form your landing door leaf at full length.
| Paramètres | Panel bender — cast-iron frame | Panel bender — welded frame | Remarques |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acier inoxydable | ≤1.2 mm | ≤1.0 mm | 1.5 mm stainless needs a press brake at full length |

| Angle de flexion | 0–180°, positive and negative | Dead edge on folding machine | |
| Précision angulaire | approx. ±0.5°/m | Decides flush joints between panels | |
| Rectitude | environ 0,2 mm/m | Critical over 2500 mm panels | |

Long decorative panels folded on all four sides in 1.0–1.2 mm stainless or coated steel, up to 2800 mm, where straightness and angle repeatability decide whether the cabin set assembles flush.
Roll-formed guide rails and door sill profiles, deep-drawn parts, and stainless above 1.2 mm at full bend length. Different processes, and in the case of rails, a different supplier entirely.
1.5 mm stainless landing door leaves, heavy structural brackets, sill and threshold parts, and low-volume special finishes. Nearly every elevator panel shop runs a press brake alongside the bender for exactly these.
L'évaluation des risques suit EN ISO 12100; les fonctions de commande liées à la sécurité, telles que l'interruption par barrière lumineuse et l'arrêt d'urgence, sont définies pour EN ISO 13849-1. Les presses plieuses hydrauliques fournies dans l'UE sont fabriquées conformément à EN 12622. Les machines mises sur le marché de l'UE portent le marquage CE conformément à Directive 2006/42/CE relative aux machines accompagné du dossier technique correspondant. Le système de gestion de la qualité est certifié selon ISO 9001, et les tolérances d'usinage des pièces structurelles sont les suivantes : ISO 2768. For the finished lift installation, EN 81-20 et EN 81-50 set the safety and component test requirements your panels are designed against — the forming tolerances and joint consistency needed to satisfy them are established at the bending stage, not at final assembly.
Sur les machines, cela se traduit par un blindage arrière entièrement fermé, des capots de protection sur toutes les pièces mobiles saillantes, des barrières laser qui arrêtent le mouvement en cas d'intrusion dans la zone protégée, une protection contre la surcharge sur les poinçonneuses à tourelle, ainsi qu'un système de détection de charge décalée à grille et règle sur les plieuses de tôles.
Elevator manufacturers need all three processes. The value of getting the split right is that each machine only does what it is efficient at.

Guide rails and sill profiles are roll-formed and will keep coming from a specialist supplier. What the cell above replaces is the panel work, which is where the labour, the surface scrap and the assembly rework actually sit.

Logique de retour sur investissement que nous appliquons avec nos clients : (gain annuel en main-d'œuvre + réduction des retouches et des rebuts + production commercialisable supplémentaire) ÷ coût de l'équipement installé. Nous calculons ce chiffre à partir de vos données réelles, plutôt que de publier un chiffre global qui ne correspondrait pas à votre usine.

Native interface on every panel bender, compatible with most robotic arm and gantry brands. On 2.5 m cabin panels this removes the two-person lift that causes most surface damage.

Voir la série PBE →Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Qingdao, one hour from major export ports and the airport. Casting, heat treatment, machining, welding, assembly and inspection all happen inside our own 20,000㎡ factory. That is why a configuration change for a 2800 mm cabin panel line does not become a six-month subcontracting problem.




Elevator projects run to building handover dates. A panel that arrives with a visible joint step is rejected on site, not in your shop, so machine accuracy and fast support are the same conversation.
