The diversity of welding

In the world of welding, innovation is guided by the needs of both the industries using welding systems, and the individual welders who work with them from day to day. To draw a picture of the future of welding, we asked two welders to give us their insights on the road ahead.

All innovations start with a dream. Whether it is the dream of a welder or an engineer, technology will always need visionaries who are able to see beyond the ordinary. The welding industry’s orientation is firmly forward, and a lot has happened even in the past few decades.

L'innovazione

In the 1960s, there was a huge shortage of professional welders in Finnish growth centers. That is why Keijo Olkoniemi, whose career as a welder has lasted for almost 50 years, trained to become a welder, a profession which has offered him challenges throughout his career. ”I remember when they said at the dockyard in Hietaniemi, Helsinki that you can bring a train full of skillful employees, and we will hire them all,” Olkoniemi says, laughing.

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

Digitalizzazione

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

Automazione della saldatura

When it comes to welding equipment, real-world performance matters. Three professional welders put the Kemppi Minarc T 223 ACDC to the test.
