Compact TIG machines offer precise control
Kemppi (UK) has launched Mastertig MLST (Multi Logic System) 2500 and 3500 TIG welding machines, which feature compact size and a wide power generator voltage range.
Handed out annually, the red dot award is one of the most prestigious industrial design awards.
Over 2,000 products from 41 countries were evaluated in the red dot competition.
The award puts Kemppi among the few Finnish companies which have won the award with own products.
The success of the Kemppi MinarcMig Adaptive 180 was assured by the completely new approach to engineering, design and quality.
The international panel of judges assessed each product's innovativeness, practicality, quality, ergonomics, durability and environmental-friendliness.
The MinarcMig Adaptive 180's user-friendly design makes good on Kemppi's customer promise - 'The Joy of Welding'.
The machine's adaptive adjustments are simple and the instructive LCD display makes using the machine easy.
In practice this adaptiveness means that the user chooses the material and sheet thickness, based on which the machine provides the optimal welding parameters.
The LCD display shows graphically the key data: amperes and voltage, selected wire feed speed, and material and gas combination.
Thanks to its ease of use, the machine is suitable for professional and hobby applications.
The red dot award ceremony will take place on 26 June in Essen, Germany.
All award-winning entries will be on display at the red dot museum 'Design on stage - winners red dot award' exhibit 27 June-23 July 2006.
