New wire feed units for FastMig welders

Both wire feed units have a double-skinned impact resistant plastic casing, and optional hanging frames and protective slides for easy moving.

start, creep start, and synergic programs for most materials. It also memory channels for saving MIG/MAG welding parameters. Kemppi’s FastROOT™ software for root pass welding is available as an option for the SF53. This provides added productivity and fast control of root closure, especially when welding ferrous and stainless steel pipe.

Finnish welding equipment manufacturer, Kemppi OY, has launched two new wire feed units – MF 29 and MSF 57 – for its 3-phase 230V/440V FastMig ™ Basic and Synergic MIG/MAG welding systems. These systems are used in industrial applications such as shipbuilding, offshore, transport and general fabrication industries.

› The new MF 29 and MSF 57 wire feed units from Kemppi

The MF 29 wire feed unit is designed for the FastMig Basic power sources KM300, KM400 and KM500, using 200mm wire spools. It features the latest DURATorque™ 200 2-roll wire feed mechanism with a low energy consumption motor and accurate gearing and transmission assembly. This enables the unit to respond to rapid wire feed acceleration and deceleration, and makes it easy to start and stop welding. The feed mechanism has been specifically designed for smaller and lightweight welding machines, and the shape of the feed roll drive wheels allows the wire to be gripped without damaging it during feeding. The unit can also be fitted with an optional gas flow regulator. The MSF 57 is designed for FastMig Synergic power sources KMS300, KMS400 and KMS500. It uses both 200mm and 300mm wire spools, and features the DURATorque 400 4-roll wire feed mechanism, providing a steady and trouble- free wire feed. The unit can be fitted with either the SF54 or SF53 control panel, mounted on the front of the feeder. The SF54 control panel has a digital display, stepless welding voltage and wire feed rate controls, gas test button, wire feed switch and an MMA welding option. The SF53 panel is designed for the most demanding welding operations, and has all the features of the SF54 panel plus crater filling, hot
