Kemppi tattooed on the arm

Joonas Innanen, 27, is one of the newer generation of welders. Although he studied traditional methods of welding from MIG to TIG, he has also adopted new technologies during his career.

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.

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.

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.
