The main industry trends right now are sustainability and digitalisation
submerged arc welding and the retrofit of welding systems , Kjellberg Finsterwalde also offers a wide range of welding electrodes . Its ProFocus direct diode laser complements the portfolio with a system for additive manufacturing of 3D parts and the repair of worn workpieces .
The TIG welding torches developed by Kjellberg Finsterwalde support the InFocus and InFocus Pluspole automated processes . With InFocus , amperages of up to 1000 A can be achieved ( depending upon the respective welding task ). The process is suitable for single-layer keyhole welding of sheets with thicknesses of up to 10mm as well as for productive heat conduction welding with extremely stable arc . InFocus Pluspole is designed to enable low-emission , singlelayer TIG welding of aluminium sheets with a thickness of up to 8mm .
Customised welding systems can also be designed to specific user requirements e . g . SAW pipe welding equipment for inner and outer seams , double T-beam welding equipment and double-hinged arm automation for box profiles .
Trends and directions
have shaped the history of our company . We are continuously working on optimising our plasma-cutting machines for use in smart factories ,” outlined Falk Tzschichholz .
With a separate Executive Board and Board of Trustees , the Kjellberg Foundation funds research and applications for innovative material-processing technologies and the improvement of working environments .

OSCAR PLT is the Foundation ’ s research company , researching and developing new and innovative plasma and laser technologies for cutting , welding and additive manufacturing , as well as solutions for digitisation in the industrial environment .
“ Another important target is , of course , the sustainable use of our machines ”, the management team told ISMR . For years , Kjellberg Finsterwalde has been committed to making plasma cutting as efficient and sustainable as possible . In addition , the plasma power sources are being developed in order to be able to work in an even more energy- and cost-saving way .
“ Our latest inverter power source concepts and torch technology developments ensure consistent reductions of energy and gas consumption – also when compared to other cutting technologies . We pay particular attention to low CO₂ emissions . I think that , with our Q-Series , we are making very good progress towards achieving these goals ,” concluded Falk Tzschichholz . n
