Robotic welding of a workpiece requires seamless collaboration
A productive, high-quality robotic welding cell is created in collaboration between a robot integrator, a welding machine supplier, and a workpiece designer. The best solution for customizing a robotic welding cell is found when reliable welding equipment with different detection functions meets automation expertise early on in the design phase.

Safety that keeps up with welders' challenges and changing risks
Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.
