About WFX wire feeders

Kemppi WFX 200 and 300 are basic wire feeders for regular pulse welding. They are equipped
with the WiseFusion™ welding process and are best suitable for basic MIG/MAG welding
purposes with robust thick metal plates.
Kemppi WFX 200 P Fe, WFX 300 P Fe, WFX 200 P Ss and WFX 300 P Ss are wire feeders for
more demanding professional use for example in pipe welding. They are equipped with the
WiseRoot+™ welding process developed especially for efficient root welding on pipes and
plates. Based on the model chosen, the wire feeder comes with either steel (Fe) or stainless
steel (Ss) pack preinstalled.
Kemppi WFX 200 AMC and 300 AMC are wire feeders designed for demanding professional
use featuring most of the Kemppi software options available. They are equipped for example
with the WiseThin+™ welding process, developed especially for efficient welding for thin
sheets and position welding, also with CO
WFX 200 AMC and 300 AMC wire feeders can also be controlled in conjunction with FastMig
X power sources through Kemppi's ARC Mobile Control, which is a tablet computer based
wireless control interface. The required ARC Mobile Control adapter is included with the AMC
wire feeder models and provided as an option for the rest of the WFX wire feeders.
If a customer needs a specific set of software for their production, there is a tailored wire
feeder option available. With a special configuration tool customers can select the desired
software products to be factory-installed on the wire feeder, or they can just order an empty
wire feeder with no software pre-installed and only MIG welding enabled.
WFX wire feeders can be used with FastMig X power sources.
Operation of the wire feeder is controlled and adjusted by microprocessor. By adding an
optional synchronization unit MXF Sync 65, the SuperSnake sub-feeder device may be
connected to the WFX 300 series wire feeders (not available for WFX 200 series).
