Kemppi’s Cobot Solution: Practical automation for modern welding needs
27 January 2025
The welding industry is under constant pressure to improve productivity, maintain high quality, and address a growing shortage of skilled labor. Collaborative robots, or cobots, provide a flexible and efficient way to automate welding tasks without fully replacing the human operator. Kemppi’s cobot solution stands out with its unique approach: a practical, cost-effective combination of proven hand-welding technology and smart integration tools.

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.
