Solution for welding equipment validation

machines and welding processes with absolute unit meters. Kemppi develops application software for online welding quality and productivity management. The company offers universal solutions compatible with all welding equipment brands. Welding companies face increasingly strict requirements from customers, regulators and inspecting bodies. If their welding equipment is not validated, they fail to meet national and international standards and customer requirements for welding equipment accuracy. ArcValidator is used for current, voltage and wire feed speed validation of welding power sources and wire feeders. In guided manual mode ArcValidator is compatible with the vast majority of welding equipment with absolute unit meters – despite the brand or the type. With a range of advanced Kemppi FastMig and KempArc equipment, an automatic validation mode is also available. ArcValidator automatically controls and operates the validated equipment – a power source or a wire feeder – through the remote control connection during the validation process. The user can choose either standard validation (normal accuracy) or precision validation (higher level of accuracy) according to European Standard EN 50504. ArcValidator RC (Remote Control) is a smart handheld device that fits in the palm of the hand. With it, you can validate welding equipment using the ArcValidator L650 load bank and transfer the saved validation data reports to the ArcValidator PC application to give them the final touch. Then you can print and share the official validation certificates. ArcValidator is a tool for anyone performing or planning to perform arc welding equipment validation services as a business or internal service. It offers fast return on investment: for businesses validating welding equipment on a daily basis, ArcValidator’s capital investment costs can be recovered within the first year.
