Equipment description

Kemppi SuperSnake GTX subfeeder is a combined solution for distance wire feeding and restricted access welding with or without water cooling. It extends the reach of MIG/MAG welding guns up to 30 meters, providing simple distance wire feeding for a variety of filler wires.

SuperSnake GTX subfeeder is delivered with Kemppi's steel spiral wire liner by default. DL Chili wire liner is available as an option.

If the SuperSnake GTX subfeeder is not available in your X5 FastMig welding equipment's subfeeder settings, the equipment firmware must be updated to the latest release version.

System

Subfeeder equipment:

1. SuperSnake GTX subfeeder
2. SuperSnake GTX protective frame
3. SuperSnake GTX interconnection cable

Other equipment:

4. MIG/MAG welding gun
5. Voltage sensing cable

Subfeeder face

1. Pressure arm locking and adjusting mechanism
2. Wire feed roll (drive roll)
3. Wire feed roll (pressure roll)
4. Wire outlet guide tube
5. Wire inlet guide tip
6. Subfeeder control panel

>>  Displays for wire feed speed / welding current and for fine tuning

>>  Error indicator (red), warning indicator (yellow)

7. Control knobs

>>  A: Wire feed speed and/or welding current

>>  B: Fine tuning (e.g. voltage, depending on welding process)

Automatic control knob activation: When the control knobs are not used, they are automatically deactivated to prevent accidental changing of welding parameters. The control knob functions are activated again by turning either of the control knobs a quarter of a turn. When active, the LED indicator between the control knobs turns green.
8. Wire inch and Gas test buttons
9. Welding ON/OFF indicator (lock)

>>  Lock symbol is lit if the welding is turned off from the switch (10)

10. Welding ON/OFF switch

>>  Prevents welding with the subfeeder if set to OFF.

The welding ON/OFF switch doesn't power down the subfeeder.

Subfeeder front connections

1. Welding cable Euro connector (for welding gun)
2. Control cable connector (e.g. for remote control)

Subfeeder rear connections

1. Welding cable Euro connector (for interconnection cable from wire feeder)
2. Control cable connector (for interconnection cable from wire feeder)
3. Subfeeder synchronization cable connector (for interconnection cable from wire feeder)

Interconnection cable

1. Welding cable (with Euro connector)
2. Control cable
3. Subfeeder synchronization cable
4. Voltage sensing cable
5. Coolant hoses

 

Equipment identification

Serial number

Serial number of the device is marked on the rating plate or in another distinctive location on the device. It is important to make correct reference to the serial number of the product when ordering spare parts or making repairs for example.

Quick Response (QR) code

The serial number and other device-related identification information may also be saved in the form of a QR code (or a barcode) on the device. Such code can be read by a smartphone camera or with a dedicated code reader device providing fast access to the device-specific information.
