High-quality pulse welding with a 1-phase MIG/MAG welding machine
November 28, 2023
The versatility of portable welding equipment has traditionally been limited by the lack of pulsed MIG/MAG welding. It has been argued that three-phase power is required to achieve high-quality MIG/MAG pulse welding.

Safety that keeps up with welders' challenges and changing risks
Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.
