Three decades of inverters in welding - started by Kemppi, of course! EDITORIAL This year marks an important milestone for both Kemppi and the industries that use welding applications. It was almost exactly 30 years ago, at the Essen welding fair in 1977, that Kemppi as the first manufacturer of welding machinery in the world introduced a power source based on inverter technology. This was the Hilarc multiprocess inverter. Not many people in those days could foresee the significance of Kemppi’s pioneering invention to the industries that manufacture or use welding machinery. The decreased size and weight make inverters easier to move, and power sources based on inverter technology have lower demand for raw materials and electricity in their production than do those based on rectifier technology. Thus, Kemppi’s introduction of an inverter power source was an act that would today be considered truly environmentally friendly. Over the last three decades, we have developed several new generations and product families of inverters. These include the Multisystem PS, Kemppi Pro, Kempomig, FastMig, Master, Mastertig, Master MLS, Mastertig MLS, Minarc, MinarcTig, and MinarcMig. When launched in 1993, the Kemppi Pro was ahead of its time. As the first digitally controlled welding machinery in the world, it led the way toward the models seen today. Our current products enable us to offer our clients extremely versatile and comprehensive solutions for welding. The actual welding devices should now be seen as just one part of a continuously expanding, diversifying range of welding services aimed at increasing productivity in welding. The Minarc, MinarcTig, and MinarcMig product families have been renowned for their excellent welding qualities, usability, and reliability ever since they were introduced to the market. The ‘red dot’ award, received by the MinarcMig 180 in 2006, was international recognition of the ease of use and superior design of the Minarc products. The new Minarc 220 and MinarcTig 250/250 MLP products being launched this year are true ‘little giants’, well worth getting acquainted with by reading the article in this magazine. You can also test them for yourself at welding-industry events. The Kemppi logo has scorched its way around the world on the front wings of Spyker F1 cars, for a few laps even at the head of the race in the Nürburgring leg. The F1 welding competition launched early this autumn is a mutual campaign of Kemppi and Spyker, closely related to the MasterTig MLS 2300 ACDC used by the Spyker F1 team. The Kemppi Motorsports Web site, published in June, features the Formula 1 race reports as well as the race diary of young formula promise Valtteri Bottas, in the Formula Renault 2000 NEC cup. The current issue of Kemppi ProNews also offers a concise summary of Kemppi’s motorsport activities. I wish all our readers enjoyable moments reading the ProNews magazine. We hope the current issue gives you both joy and useful information about the productive welding solutions offered by Kemppi.
