Welding equipment validation
03 June 2015
Kemppi’s ArcValidator is an automated and universal solution for welding equipment validation. It offers fast, consistent and thorough welding equipment validation, meeting the requirements of ISO 3834 and EN 50504 standards.

According to Kemppi, it offer up to 80% faster validations, effortless reporting and standards-compliant documentation and certificate creation. It is compatible with all brands and models of welding machines and welding processes with absolute unit meters.
ArcValidator can be used for current, voltage and wire feed speed validation of welding power sources and wire feeders. In guided manual mode it is compatible with most welding equipment with absolute unit meters – irrespective of brand or 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 L 650 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 suitable for anyone performing or planning to perform arc welding equipment validation services, as a business or internal service. It offers fast return on investment (Kemppi says that for businesses validating welding equipment on a daily basis, ArcValidator’s capital investment costs can be recovered within the first year).
