Training a New Generation of Welders

The world is changing fast. It is predicted that in the next ten years, we will be seeing more changes in technology than we’ve seen over the last hundred. As a fundamental process in the manufacturing industry, welding is also steadily evolving.

Welding automation

In 2017, it has been 40 years since the inverter power source was developed. We sat down with Tapani Mäkimaa, an original member of the development team, and discussed what makes Kemppi a pioneer in its field, year after year.

Innovation

Experimenting with different ideas, fast and small, then scaling up boldly and even faster - this is my experience of pioneering after a couple of months as Chief Digital Officer at Kemppi. Experimenting was present at Kemppi already 25 years ago, when we developed a new, numeric way to manage arc characteristics and invented the first digital welding power source in the world.

Innovation

One of the most important elements in developing welding equipment has long been improving welding processes and creating new process variations. Modern measurement and arc control methods have made a wide range of variations in the arc welding process possible. These advanced welding processes significantly improve welding production efficiency and weld quality. This article presents the special processes and operations developed by Kemppi for MIG/MAG welding.

Welding ABC, Manual welding

Welding traceability is becoming an increasingly essential requirement in industries where safety, quality, and compliance are paramount.

Digitalization

Cobot welding integrates collaborative robots (cobots) into welding processes to enhance productivity, quality, and safety.
