1.2 About the product
MagTrac F 61 is a welding carriage for mechanisation of longitudinal MIG/MAG welding
applications. Used in combination with the high quality process control system of Kemppi
FastMig welding equipment, the MagTrac F 61 is an easy and ecient way of improving the
welding productivity and quality.
The MagTrac F 61 is equipped with Kemppi's unique welding gun quick-xing mechanism
(patent pending), which makes it quick and easy to set up and adjust the carriage.
1.3 Operation safety
When using the carriage in applications where weakened magnetic force may pose a threat of
the carriage falling down, make sure that such possible accident can not cause any hazard to
people or equipment.
Read also the safety guide delivered in the MagTrac F 61 product package.
NOTE! Welding heat can little by little weaken the carriage's magnetic force.
1.4 Compatibility
MagTrac F 61 is compatible with the following welding equipment
2. Control knob for scrolling and selecting values
3. Welding gun xing mechanism
4. Approximate adjustment handles
5. Fine adjustment screws
6. Hex screws for adjusting the guide roller arms
7. Handle for lifting the device and disabling the magnet.
8. Limit switch detects the end of the weld and stops the carriage automatically
9. Wheels
2. PREPARING THE CARRIAGE FOR USE
2.1 Welding machine connections
To use the MagTrac F 61, you need a FastMig power source, wire feeder, and a shielding gas
cylinder or other source of shielding gas appropriate for your welding task.
6.
4
MagTrac F 61
Connect the wire feeder to power source as follows:
1. Connect the welding cable between the plus pole of the power source and the cable
connector on the backside of the wire feeder.
2. Connect the control cable between the power source and the wire feeder (the
connectors are on the backside of the machines).
3. Connect the shielding gas hose between the gas cylinder and the wire feeder (the
connector is on the backside of the wire feeder).
2.2 MagTrac F 61 connections
Attach the welding power cable to the Euro connector and the control cable to the data
connector either in the wire feeder unit or in Kemppi SuperSnake subfeeder. See the pictures
below.
EN
To connect the welding gun to MagTrac device:
The MagTrac F 61 is equipped with Kemppi's unique welding gun quick-xing mechanism.
1. Loosen the slide block xing screw (1) and open it a few rounds so that the slide block (2)
comes out.
2. Put the welding gun into the slot and replace the slide block.
3. Tighten the gun into its place using the xing screw.
4. Attach the control cable to the bus connector on the carriage.
Adjust the position of the carriage against the wall:
1. If necessary, change the position of the welding gun mechanism on the carriage by
opening the two hex screws (see the picture).
2. Adjust the position of the carriage so that it slightly pushes against the wall when
moving. To accomplish this, set the guide roller arms so that the front arm is a little
shorter than the back arm.
2.
Adjust the welding gun position:
1. Loosen the orange handles (1 and 2) and make approximate adjustment of the welding
gun position.
NOTE! You can use the adjustment handle like a ratchet wrench by lifting the handle and
turning it to a better position.
2. To ne adjust the gun position, change the distance and height of the welding gun with
the adjustment knobs (see the picture).
NOTE! You can use the ne adjustment knobs also when the carriage is moving.

2.3 Working environment
Kemppi MagTrac F 61 welding carriage is equipped with a strong magnet that keeps it steadily
in it's track also if you drive the device uphill or downhill.
EN
max. 60°
You can also use the MagTrac F 61 on curved surfaces.
MagTrac F 61 oers a wide range of adjustments. For example, you can turn the guide roller
arms 180° to point outwards if you need to improve visibility to the welding arc, or you can
swing the welding gun over the side (see the picture).
NOTE! The limit switch might not work if you change the position of the roller arms or welding gun
mechanism. This may prevent the carriage from stopping automatically in the end of the weld.
Activating and releasing magnet
When you lift the handle to its up position in order to move the device, the magnet is
automatically inactivated.
When you place the device to its welding position, you just push the handle down, and the
magnet is automatically activated.

3. USING THE CONTROL PANEL
MagTrac F 61 control panel allows you to view and adjust the welding parameter values.
You can use the values stored in the memory channels of the wire feeder, or you can set the
desired values on the welding carriage without using the memory channels.
If the memory channel function is active, you can see the channel number on the top row of
the carriage control panel display. The MagTrac F 61 communicates with the wire feeder via a
control cable integrated in the welding gun cable.
