FastMig ™ Synergic welding systems with FastROOT ™

2.4mm. Kemppi’s FastCool 10 water-cooling unit is also available as an option. FastROOT™ is a modified short-arc welding process, where the power source’s current and voltage parameters are digitally controlled for accurate and fast MIG/MAG root pass and thin sheet welding on mild steel and stainless steels, enabling plate and pipe welders to weld in all positions using the same equipment for root pass welding with good root surfaces and root side shape with minimal requirements for post weld finishing as well as for capping the weld. The software can be retrofitted into existing FastMig™ Synergic machines having either the SF52 or SF53 control panels. It is installed using a special activation code through either control panel. It also comes supplied with a DVD providing installation instructions and information about root pass welding techniques including a video demonstration of the process in action.

Kemppi’s industrial 3-phase FastMig™ Synergic MIG/MAG welding systems with either the SF 52 or SF 53 function control panel and optional FastROOT™ process software are designed for accurate weld root pass welding with mild and stainless steels used in industrial pipe and tube installations as well as heavy to medium fabrication work, including shipyards, offshore work and structural steel applications. FastMig™ Synergic provides the welder with a choice of energy saving KMS 300, 400 and 500 power sources with excellent power to weight ratios, and MSF53, 55 and 57 wire feed units for 200mm or 300mm wire spools, plus the option of either the SF52 or 53 control panel for root pass welding, which have all the basic functions plus crater filling, hot and creep start and memory for storing welding parameters. FastMig™ KMS 300 is rated 300A/29V at 100% duty cycle with a 10-37V welding range, FastMig™ KMS400 is rated 380A/33V at 100% duty cycle with a 10-39V welding voltage range, whilst the FastMig™ KMS 500 is rated 430A/35.5V at 60% duty cycle with a 10-42V welding voltage range.

All the wire feed units have 4 x 32mm diameter feed rolls, a 0-25m/min wire feed speed for solid and cored wires as well as aluminium with diameters ranging from 0.6-  FastMig Synergic welding of pipe using Kemppi’s FastROOT software
