1.2 About FastMig MXP 37 Pipe and MXP 38

Kemppi FastMig MXP 37 Pipe is a wire feeder designed for demanding professional use. It is equipped with the WiseRoot+™ welding process, developed especially for ecient root welding on pipes and plates.

Kemppi FastMig MXP 38 is a wire feeder designed for demanding professional use. It is equipped with the WiseThin+™ welding process, developed especially for ecient welding for thin sheets and position welding, also with CO2 shielding gas.

FastMig MXP 37 Pipe and MXP 38 wire feeders can be used with FastMig X 450 and FastMig Pulse power sources. However, WiseRoot+™ and WiseThin+™ special welding processes are only available when used with FastMig X 450 power source.

Operation of the wire feeder is controlled and adjusted by microprocessor. By adding an optional synchronization unit (MXF Sync 65), SuperSnake sub-feeder device may be connected to MXP 37 Pipe or MXP 38 wire feeders.

2.3 Assembly of MIG/MAG system

Assemble the units in the order mentioned below. Follow the additional mounting and operation instructions delivered with each package.

1. Installation of power source

Read and follow the installation instructions given in the FastMig power source operating manual.

2. Mounting of power sources to transport cart

Read and follow the instructions given in the transport cart assembly instructions.

3. Mounting the FastMig MXP wire feed unit to the power source

Remove the cover sticker on top of the power source. Screw the fastening pivot into the power source – hand tighten only. Place the supplied plastic spacers over the pivot. Lift the MXP wire feeder into place, locating over the pivot.

4. Connecting cables

Connect the cables in accordance with the equipment notes provided in this manual. The polarity of the welding wire (+ or –) can be selected by connecting the wire feed unit to

either the positive or negative power source terminals. Most MIG/MAG applications run the wire feed unit connected to the positive terminal of the

power source.

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

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.
