Kemppi introduces new welding helmets KEMPPI, the specialist in welding equip- ment and software, has strengthened its welding safety portfolio with new Alfa and Beta e-series welding helmets and respirators. Certified to the latest standards, the new models offer protection for arc welding, cutting, grinding, gouging and inspection processes. 

“Kemppi’s design team has taken ‘active welder feedback’ throughout the development of the new Alfa and Beta e-series models, providing greater wearable value with refined

performance, durability and comfort. Whatever your needs or budget, we’re sure you’ll find the protection from Kemppi’s welding safety range,” safety products manager John Frost said. The Alfa and Beta e-series models, which are now available from authorised Kemppi dealers, feature an impact-rated shell that is both lightweight and strong. The spacious design accom- modates eyeglasses and half masks, whilst allowing good access to tight spaces. Several settings and features support easy adjustment for the best personal fit and extra welding comfort, including a comfort headband, integrated magnifying lens holder and an overall 20 per cent weight reduction, compared to the previous Beta models. New optional leather

neck and shoulder protectors are also available. Each Alfa and Beta e-series model includes a flip-up welding lens, that is positioned for pre and post-weld in- spection. The lenses’ GapView feature is suitable for tacking and setting work. The large and clear impact grade inspection lens has a viewing area of 80cm2 and is certified to EN 175 B and AS/NZS 1337.1.​

Amada Miyachi Europe announces CD-V series welding power supplies

The CD-V series is built in the USA and works with the following AMYA weld heads: Manual Cable Driven – Models TL-V80F-E2-0A, TL-V88F-E2-0A and Standard Air Solenoid Driven – Models TL-V80A-E2-0A, TL-V88A-E2-0A. The TL-V weld heads are designed to complement the new power supplies. There are four variants with air actuated and manual actuated motion. The heads are designed for robust usage and come standard with a robust stand and electrodes.

fire confirmation, pulse shaping with adjustable upslope to reduce expulsion during welds, an ultra-fast rise time for conductive material welding and the ability to move easily between pulses for quick welding of adjacent locations. In addition, the CD-V series makes handling a variety of weld schedules easy, as it is able to store up to eight schedules at one time, giving the operator the ability to easily change between weld schedules. Other ease- of-use features include a weld counter, programmable squeeze time, and a push button rotary encoder for intuitive operation.

AMADA Miyachi Europe has released the new CD-V Series of Capacitive Discharge Power Supplies and TL-V Series of weld heads. The CD-V Series features a fully controllable dual pulse output and a full colour 3.5" user interface to give consistent welding output for repeatable process results. Typical applications for the CD-V series include battery tab welding, interconnects, honeycomb tacking, fine wire to pad processes and jewellery repair. Some key features of the CD-V series include built-in peak current indication for immediate weld
