Mechanised MIG welding systems
KEMPPi’s new a3 and a5 MiG sys-
tems offer welding mechanisation
equipment for straight line or orbital
MIG/MAG welding applications.
The A3 MIG system is a durable
and simple straight rail solution.
Powered from a battery, the A3
torch carriage is a low-cost solution
to mechanise longitudinal welding
and cutting processes.
A5 MIG systems offer integrated
welding carriage solutions for either
straight rail or orbital MIG welding,
incorporating a weaving unit and
remote control, plus either straight
rail or guide ring sets for orbital MIG
welding.
The A5 MIG systems are digitally
integrated with Kemppi’s latest FastMig
welding equipment, ensuring welding
arc control. The operator can easily
select the best welding settings for
each application prior to and during the
welding cycle, including the use of pre-
set memory channels, directly from the
remote control unit.
Upgrading from manual to mecha-
nised welding improves welding
quality and productivity, through faster
welding speed, greater duty cycles and
increased deposition rates.
Kemppi mechanisation systems
also link to Kemppi’s ‘Wise’ modified
arc solutions, including WiseFusion,
WisePenetration, WiseThin and
WiseRoot, for quality and productivity
improvements. For example, in filling
and capping passes on heavy
plate, WiseFusion together with
WisePenetration ensures the
optimal welding arc performance
during the whole welding cycle,
offering conditions for reduced joint
geometry and narrow gap welding,
reduced filler material, fewer
welding passes and shorter welding
times.
Kemppi’s offering includes
welding solutions – equipment,
management software, and
services – for both demanding
industrial applications and ready-
to-weld needs. the company is based in
Finland, and its global partner network
covers more than 60 countries.
