70 years of arc welding excellence

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.

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.

Critical defence and military vessels and marine structures are built for decades of demanding service. This article explores what 'built to last' means in welding, from harsh-condition reliability and repeatable weld quality to traceability across long vessel lifecycles.

Innovación, Digitalización

Kemppi X5 FastMig supports reliable MIG/MAG welding, controlled heat input, traceability, and repeatable weld quality across steel, aluminium, and challenging production conditions.

What lies behind a world record 165 m under-ice record is precision TIG welding, with Minarc T enabling exact fit-up, refined control, and clean stainless outcomes.
