Advantages of KAPKON
Quality
Highest process capabilities (further increase possible using patented combi-pulse technology)
Symmetrical, variably adjustable mains power consumption, low electrical requirements:
- Low power rating
- Low main fuse
Technologies suitable for series production, approved and in use for many years. Low maintenance.
Highest reusability: one technology for a wide range of joining tasks
Easy transport due to forklift and crane-friendly design (easy relocation possible)
Small space requirement due to sophisticated concept
No hazards from medium voltage – easy maintenance possible.
Trust
Support, maintenance and repair (global)
Monitoring options, Industry 4.0 – integration possible via Profinet, Ethernet and OPC server
Welding laboratory (internal)
Delivery of test field-approved technology
Confidentiality agreements (both sides)
Transparency
Experience since 1980
Agile Project Management
Own customer service representative
Continuous improvement processes and investments in research and development
