Making weld cleaning easy and cost-efficient

In welding equipment, creating a good and innovative design goes far beneath the surface. The equipment must be practical, functional, ergonomic, safe, reliable and cost-effective – while still maintaining an aesthetic appeal. Kemppi’s designers and engineers have applied user-centered design philosophy to numerous welding machines introduced since the company’s founding over 70 years ago – and most recently in the creation of the new generation MasterTig with complementary Flexlite TX TIG welding torches.

Some metals, like aluminum, have a naturally occurring, tough surface oxide layer. That surface oxide layer must be removed to enable successful welding. In the case of aluminum alloys, the surface oxide layer has a significantly higher melting temperature (approximately 2000°C) than the melting temperature of the aluminum base material (660°C).

TIG welding is a commonly used welding process for metals that are considered challenging to weld, such as titanium. It is the easiest and safest method for achieving high quality with small equipment investments. However, the number of weld passes required makes TIG welding slow and laborious, and productivity suffers. The double-pulse feature of Kemppi's new MasterTig has been developed to make TIG welding more efficient.

Svetssäkerheten ställer allt större krav. Riskerna vid ljusbågen är desamma, men moderna arbetsförhållanden innebär att exponering kan lagras under längre arbetspass och i begränsade inomhusutrymmen. Följaktligen måste personlig skyddsutrustning för svetsning betraktas både som ett skydd för svetsaren och som ett bevis på att kraven uppfylls. Hos Kemppi utformas och valideras personlig skyddsutrustning för svetsning i praktiken genom tydliga krav, synpunkter från svetsare samt verifierad överensstämmelse med EU:s förordning 2016/425 om personlig skyddsutrustning, CE-märkningsprocesser och relevanta EN-standarder.

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.
