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.

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.

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.
