1.2 About FastMig MXP 37 Pipe
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.
FastMig MXP 37 Pipe wire feeder can be used with FastMig X 450 and FastMig Pulse power
sources. However, WiseRoot+™ special welding process is 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 wire feeder.

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 37 Pipe 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 water 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.

2.7 Loading the ller wire and automatic feed
Automatic wire feed makes wire spool changes faster. When changing the wire spool, the
pressure of feed rolls need not be released.
Simply ensure that the groove of the feed roll matches the diameter of ller wire used. Release
the wire end from the spool and cut o any deformed section. Be careful that the wire does
not spill from the spool sides.
Straighten about 20 cm of ller wire and ensure the tip has no sharp edges. File if necessary, as
a sharp wire edge may damage the wire gun liner - particularly softer plastic liners.
Present the ller wire tip to the back of the wire feed rolls and press the wire inch switch on
the wire feeder panel. Feed the wire to the gun contact tip and prepare to weld.
NOTE! Smaller diameter ller wires may need to be loaded manually and with the feed roll pressure
arms released. This is because it is easy to over estimate the pressure required to feed these smaller
ller wires. Too high feed roll pressures can easily deform ller wires and contribute to later feeding
problems.
