power source.

FastMig MXP 37 Pipe, MXP 38

5. Mounting FastMig wire feed units to boom and swing arms

When mounting wire feed units to boom and swing arms, the unit must be electrically
isolated from both.

Suspension angle of wire feed unit can be changed by moving the xing point in handle.

2.4 Accessories corresponding to wire diameter

Colour coded wire feed rolls and guide tubes are available to suit a variety of ller wire types
and sizes. Feed roll groove geometry and design vary depending on the application. Further
details are available in the spare parts tables.

Please ensure you select the correct drive rolls and guide tubes from the table to suit your
particular welding application.

2.5 Welding gun selection

Please ensure that the welding gun selected is suitable for the target application. Kemppi
welding gun products are designed to meet many dierent applications. Special wire liners
and contact tips are available for dierent wire types and sizes.

For FastMig X 450 and MXP 37 Pipe setup Kemppi oers the PMT MN welding gun model,
which is specially designed for welding root and ll passes on pipe. The neck is replaceable, so
you can select just the right bending angle for dierent work stages.

Distance wire feeding is accommodated with WeldSnake and SuperSnake products in either
air or liquid cooled models.

2.6 Mounting and locking of wire spool

EN

NOTE! Check that in ller wire spool is correctly mounted and locked into position. Ensure the spool

is not damaged or deformed in such a way that it can rub or cha against the internal surface of
the wire feed unit chassis or door. This may result in increased drag, impacting on weld quality. This
may also result in long term wire feed unit damage, rendering the unit unserviceable or unsafe to
use.

EN

2.7 Loading the ller wire and automatic feed

Automatic wire feed makes wire spool changes faster. When changing the wire spool, the
pressure of feed rolls need not be released.

Simply ensure that the groove of the feed roll matches the diameter of ller wire used. Release
the wire end from the spool and cut o any deformed section. Be careful that the wire does
not spill from the spool sides.

Straighten about 20 cm of ller wire and ensure the tip has no sharp edges. File if necessary, as
a sharp wire edge may damage the wire gun liner - particularly softer plastic liners.

Present the ller wire tip to the back of the wire feed rolls and press the wire inch switch on
the wire feeder panel. Feed the wire to the gun contact tip and prepare to weld.

NOTE! Smaller diameter ller wires may need to be loaded manually and with the feed roll pressure

arms released. This is because it is easy to over estimate the pressure required to feed these smaller
ller wires. Too high feed roll pressures can easily deform ller wires and contribute to later feeding
problems.

2.10 Adjustment of pressure arms

Adjust the drive pressure to the ller wire with the thumb screws mounted over the pressure
arms. Notice the graduated scales indicating load. The load applied should be sucient to
overcome a light braking force applied by hand to the ller wire, as it exits the welding gun
contact tip.

For smaller diameter and soft ller wires, less feed pressure is required. It should be possible to
apply a light breaking force to the ller wire by hand, as it exits the gun contact tip. But slightly
more wire ow restriction should render the drives rolls to slip slightly over the ller wire
without deforming the wire.

NOTE! Excessive pressure causes attening of the ller wire and damage to coated or cored ller

wires. It also causes undue wear of the feed rolls and increases gearbox load, so reducing service
life.

2.11 Adjustment of spool brake

Brake force is adjusted through the hole behind the locking clip. Remove the locking clip by
hand, and adjust the tension and pressure to the friction pads mounted inside with a screw
driver. See diagram and location A.

A

The load applied varies depending on the size and weight of the ller wire and spool, but also
the ller wire feed speed set. The heavier the wire spool and the faster the feed speed, the
greater the need to increase the braking load. Adjust the pressure, secure the locking clip, set
the wire feed speed and check that the braking force is enough to ensure the ller wire does
not spill from the spool on overrun.

NOTE! Too much or unnecessary loads can impact welding quality, load and wear to the wire feed

system.

2.12 Burn back time

FastMig electronics controls the burn back time. When welding stops an automatic sequence
ensures that the ller wire does not stick to the work piece and that no ball is formed at the
wire tip, ensuring reliable re-ignition. This system works regardless of the wire feed speed.

2.13 Earth return cable

Preferably the earth return cable and clamp should be connected directly to the welding
material.

Always use a good quality, 70 mm² heavy copper cable, and if possible a screw type 600 A
clamp. Ensure that the surface contact to the work piece is clean of metal oxide and or paint.
Make sure the clamp is rmly secured.

2.14 Shielding gas

MMT 32

NOTE! Handle shielding gas bottle with care. Assess the risks associated with handling and using

compressed gas. Always use a cylinder transport carriage and secure the cylinder safely.

There are many dierent suppliers of quality shielding gases for welding. Please ensure that
you are selecting the correct gas for your application. FastMig products use welding programs
for synergic and pulsed welding. These programs are created and recommend against a
particular shielding gas.

Shielding gas eects welding performance and is a fundamental component to overall weld
quality.

l/min

EN

NOTE! Shielding gas ow rate from the welding gun is set according to the application, weld joint,

gas type and gas nozzle shape and size. The ow rate should be measured at the welding gun
nozzle before welding via a rotameter, and normally measure's between 10 – 20 litres per minute
for many welding applications.

2.14.1 Installing gas bottle

Always fasten the gas bottle properly in the vertical position, in a special holder against the
wall or on a cylinder carriage. Remember to close gas bottle valve after welding.

2.15 Main switch I/O

When you turn the main switch of the FastMig power source into I-position, the pilot lamp
closest to this switch will illuminate, indicating the power source is ready for welding. The
equipment will return to the same operation state where it was before the last shutdown.

Always start and switch o the machine with the main switch, never use the mains plug as a
switch.

2.16 Operation of cooling unit, FastCool 10

When liquid-cooling unit FastCool 10 is connected to the FastMig power source for the
rst time, the cooler function is normally active. To deselect the cooler function, follow the
instructions stated in the FastCool 10 operating manual.

2.17 Hanging kit

The MXP wire feeders can be mounted on a welding boom using the KFH 1000 hanging
device available as an accessory. This allows the wire feed unit to be suspended above the
work area.

3.5 Arc voltage display

FastMig X is capable of measuring and showing the voltage close to the welding arc. By taking
this feature into use you don't need to be concerned about the voltage losses in welding
cables anymore. With this feature you are only required to set the voltage for the arc before
welding and after welding you can see the voltage close to the arc.

In order to use the arc voltage feature, follow these steps:

1. After setting up the welding equipment for the rst time, connect the voltage sensing
cable to the welding piece and the measurement cable between the wire feeder and the
power source.

2. If you are using a sub-feeder, enter the length of the sub-feeder to the SubFeederLength
parameter.

3. Set the welding parameters according to your application. Note that the set voltage
when using 1-MIG, MIG and WiseThin+ welding processes means always the voltage in
the arc despite of ArcVoltage setting.

4. Weld with 1-MIG, MIG or with Pulse MIG for at least 5 seconds. During that time the
welding machine calibrates itself for the welding cable length in question. Calibration
values are stored into the welding machine, therefore this calibration is required only
once after installing the welding machine package.

5. If you want to see arc voltage in panels during and after welding, turn the ArcVoltage
setting to ON in X 37 setup panel. Dot after voltage value in XF 37 or XF 38 panel means
that showed value is arc voltage. In the weld data after welding in X 37 panel 'AVol'
means also the arc voltage.

6. Voltage sensing cable can be removed after the calibration procedure, but it is
recommended to use it always.

NOTE! Steps 1-3 should be repeated every time, when the length of the welding or grounding cable

is changed.
