Effortless root pass and thin sheet welding
18 de octubre de 2023
Kemppi has launched three new MAX welding processes (MAX Cool, MAX Speed and MAX Position) for the Master M and X5 FastMig product families to improve productivity, quality and usability in the challenging welding applications. MAX Cool lowers the heat input and operates in a short arc area so it’s ideal for steel welding and MIG brazing. The welding characteristics of MAX Cool have been fine-tuned to allow high-quality root pass and thin sheet welding.

The double-pulse method makes TIG welding more efficient – even with demanding materials
TIG welding is a commonly used welding process for metals that are considered challenging to weld, such as titanium. It is the easiest and safest method for achieving high quality with small equipment investments. However, the number of weld passes required makes TIG welding slow and laborious, and productivity suffers. The double-pulse feature of Kemppi's new MasterTig has been developed to make TIG welding more efficient.

Kemppi's advanced welding processes: TIG and stick welding (MMA)
In TIG welding, process development has mainly focused on modifying the current modes in different situations. In practice, this means variations of pulse and AC welding, as well as ignition or tack welding. In the case of pulse welding, the welding machine user has numerous choices, as the adjustment possibilities for these process variations are highly versatile.
