Kemppi SuperSnake GTX: The Ultimate Reach Extender

The Kemppi SuperSnake GTX is the professional’s “Snake”—a high-performance sub-feeder that extends your welding reach by up to \(30\text{m}\). Compatible with the X5 FastMig, it provides a portable, motorized wire delivery system that ensures a stable arc and full parameter control, even in the most remote or restricted work areas.

  • Extended Mobility: Weld up to \(30\text{m}\) away from your power source.
  • Motorized Precision: Internal drive motor eliminates wire drag and feeding issues.
  • Full Parameter Control: Adjust your settings directly at the “Snake” unit.
  • Built for Heavy Industry: Rugged, slim design ideal for shipyards and site work.

Description

The Kemppi SuperSnake GTX is a specialized intermediate wire feeder that acts as a bridge between the main power source and the welding gun. It is designed to overcome the physical limitations of standard MIG/MAG welding by extending the reach of the wire feeder by up to \(30\text{m}\). This makes it an essential tool for large-scale projects like shipbuilding, heavy structural steel, and high-altitude site work.

Key Features:

  • Massive Operational Reach: Available in lengths ranging from \(10\text{m}\) to \(30\text{m}\), allowing the welder to work far away from the heavy X5 power source without moving the machine.
  • Integrated Sub-Feeder Motor: Features a compact, high-torque internal drive motor that synchronized with the main feeder to ensure smooth, tension-free wire delivery at all times.
  • On-Torch Remote Control: Provides the operator with full control over wire feed speed and voltage directly at the point of welding, eliminating the need to walk back to the power source.
  • Lightweight & Portable: The slim, “snake-like” profile and protective metal cage allow it to be easily dragged across workshop floors or through narrow manholes.
  • Safety First: Includes a safety lock switch that prevents accidental welding while the system is being moved or serviced.
  • Automatic Wire Loading: Simplifies the setup process by automating the wire-inching process through the long cable assembly.

Technical Specifications:

  • Compatibility: Natively designed for the Kemppi X5 FastMig and X8 MIG Welder.
  • Wire Types: Suitable for Fe/Ss/Al/FCW/MCW wires.
  • Distance: \(10\text{m}\), \(15\text{m}\), \(20\text{m}\), or \(30\text{m}\) options.
  • Weight: Varies by length, but designed for manual portability.
  • Drive Mechanism: 2-roll drive system inside the “Snake” unit.
