Wat kost een las écht? Aan de hand van Kemppi's vergelijking van laser-, MAG- en TIG-lassen kijken we verder dan lassnelheid: naar lasuren, beschermgas, toevoegmateriaal, warmte-inbreng en nabewerking. Ontdek hoe kleine verschillen bij grote productievolumes optellen en invloed kunnen hebben op capaciteit, productiviteit en rendement.

Rapid Welding has worked with Kemppi since the company opened in 1990. Co-founder and Managing Director Roy Edwards highlighted the principles behind that 36-year partnership, from choosing the right welding solution and supporting equipment throughout its life to addressing the skills shortage and finding the right place for automation and laser welding.

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.

Eurosatory 2026 highlighted a clear shift in modern defence manufacturing. While defence systems are becoming more digital, networked, and autonomous, their foundation remains physical. From armoured vehicles and artillery to industrial resilience, welding quality, steel structures, and production discipline remain paramount to defence readiness.

Naval shipbuilding is growing fast across Europe, and defence shipyards must boost productivity while meeting strict quality and traceability requirements. Learn how Kemppi X5 FastMig supports repeatable MIG/MAG welding of high-strength steel and marine aluminium – even with long cable runs, in confined spaces and on generator power.
