Three solutions for welding robotization
11 december 2019
Welding robots are no longer just a treat for a few. The introduction of robust yet affordable welding robotization solutions to the market has lowered the threshold to improving welding productivity or quality through automation. There are several things to keep in mind when deciding on the best solution for your company – to help you make the choice I will outline three alternative approaches on this blog post.

Automation and robotics on the rise as labor shortage continues
Robotics and welding automation have been on the agenda of manufacturing companies for quite a while. Welding robots are said to remove human error and even projected to learn with high endurance, speed and precision. In the past five years, we have also seen the addition of collaborative robots, cobots, to the market.

70 years of arc welding excellence
Over the span of the past 70 years, Finnish arc welding equipment manufacturer and software developer Kemppi has grown from a small family company to a global welding technology leader and a pioneer in its industry. In addition to the 70th anniversary of the company's founding, 2019 marks the 100th birthday of its late founder, Martti Kemppi.

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.
