General
These instructions describe the use of Kemppi's X5 FastMig equipment. X5 FastMig consists of multi-purpose welding power sources, wire feeders and cooling unit (optional) designed for demanding professional use in both, normal and pulsed MIG/MAG welding.
The X5 FastMig equipment range includes automatic 1-MIG control capabilities with X5 Wire Feeder 300 AP/APC and X5 Wire Feeder HD300 AP/APC. The 1-MIG process is accompanied by welding programs and advanced software features as well as Wise and MAX processes as optional. By default, basic welding program work packs are included with the automatic 1-MIG- and pulse-enabled equipment.
APC wire feeder models have also wireless connectivity features built in allowing digital Welding Procedure Specification (dWPS) and WeldEye ArcVision use as optional.
X5 FastMig is designed to be used together with Kemppi's Flexlite GX MIG welding guns.
X5 FastMig can be used also for MMA welding, gouging and TIG welding. Note that TIG welding requires the use of dedicated Flexlite TX TIG torches.
System configurations
X5 FastMig allows different system configurations for different purposes of use. All X5 power source and wire feeder model combinations are possible and allow welding, but to access all of the features of each system configuration option, the configuration guidelines presented in the table below are to be followed.
