If it goes up to 11 it must be a Marshall and have been owned by Rock Gods Spinal Tap!

Gmbh is the german form of limited company.
Audi Gmbh etc.


Schweisstechnik in german means welding technology.


So basically all you've got there is:

"Welding Technology GmbH"


The company is probably Kluge, Kluger, Klager etc

or "K mart".......

Not necessarily, in old machines it looks like that, here for example E. Beckum...

What is the " K " meaning ?

 

[Nix2]

You can see the VDE 0542 standard at the "K" sign...

The VDE sign is an abbreviation of the name of the German inspection institute Verband der Elektrotechnik.

So this is an old (from the pre-EU period, of course) standard regarding the specification of welding equipment.

Thanks.

The case was closed successfully.
The MIG welder welds very nicely (it reaches a maximum of approx. 168A at a welding voltage of approx. 24.1V) so it is correct (it is estimated to be a 180A machine).

Thanks to everyone for the valuable advice.
