Leading international welding equipment manufacturer, Kemppi, has released its new X5 FastMig multi-process welding
system for MIG, DC TIG and stick welding (MMA) as well as gouging. Designed in conjunction with professional welders
specifically for steel welding, the X5 FastMig delivers a range of features to help significantly enhance arc welding
productivity.
Built using energy-efficient inverter technology, the X5 FastMig offers faster welding and quality welds thanks to Touch
Sense Ignition, effortless operation, excellent welding ergonomics and flexible equipment setup.Faster welding, better quality welds
Built to perform, the X5 FastMig features the latest in ignition technology – Touch Sense Ignition – as standard in all
available models. When combined with WiseSteel software, which also comes as standard with every model, the X5 delivers
precise ignition capability and stable arc control.
It tackles the challenges of globular arc by alternating between short arc and spray transfer. In short-circuit
transfer, it improves the arc stability adaptively, provding better out-of-position steel welding capabilities. In spray
transfer mode, micropulsing of the current and voltage increases travel speed significantly. In doing so, the X5 helps
to minimise the spatter produced by a traditional globular arc, as well as the need for post weld cleaning, saving the
welder both valuable time and cost, while helping to deliver better quality welds.
For more challenging applications, the arc control can be further optimised with optional welding programs and Wise
special processes.Effortless operation
Designed to be hassle-free, the X5 FastMig is very easy to operate. It features a large, graphical and impact-resistant
TFT display panel that illustrates all the required information clearly and without the use of abbreviations. Welding
parameters are set automatically when the user adjusts the wire feed speed. And memory channels are also available to
customise and save personal settings.
Easy to use, the operating basics of the X5 can be grasped in just 10 minutes. Plus, the wire feeder’s sturdy
rotate-and-push buttons can be operated with gloves on or off, helping to save time and improve productivity.Excellent welding ergonomics
Created with the welder in mind, the ergonomically-designed top-loading wire feeder improves occupational safety when
changing the wire spool as it places less strain on the user’s back. The wire feeder can also be hung up and adjusted to
multiple different angles for quick and easy access, even in a dual setup.
Continues
Designed for use with the X5, the Flexlite GX guns also deliver comfort in spades and help reduce welder fatigue thanks
to their ergonomic design. Each gun is lightweight and features a flexible cable set and innovative ball-jointed cable
protection that reduces the load on the welder’s wrist.
Plus, the pistol grip handle has been designed so that it feels like an extension of the welder’s hand. Providing
excellent balance, it allows for a natural wrist position, which makes the work at hand easier and more effortless,
particularly when doing long welds.
The on-torch GXR10 remote control allows parameter adjustment at the weld joint, even while welding.Flexible equipment setup
The X5’s modular system allows the user to choose from a range of excellent accessories to ensure the optimal solution
for every application. These include transport units, interconnection cables of various lengths and wired remote
controls.
Also, users can build their own machine with the help of the X5 FastMig Selector, an online configurator tool that lets
welders easily choose the equipment best suited to make the most out of their investment.Quality range
Made in Finland, and strong and robust, the X5 range has been built to last. The X5 FastMig features an injection-molded
plastic casing that absorbs knocks, and together with the impact- resistant display panel, ensure the machine can
withstand challenging environments.
