First-class welding performance
Key areas of the torch structure are improved with new materials to ensure better welding characteristics.
6-month warranty
An improved torch structure enables a longer, cost-efficient lifetime, proved by a 6-month warranty.
Supreme usability
The best combination of balance, flexibility and ergonomics.
Redesigned with over 200 improvements
The Flexlite GXe is a reliable, high-quality MIG/MAG torch series with optimized ergonomics and excellent welding performance. The improved structure enables a longer, cost-efficient lifetime for both the torch and consumables, proved by a 6-month warranty.
We used customer feedback to completely re-engineer the torch structure for enhanced durability, upgraded welding characteristics, and optimal balance. The GXe is designed for better protection against dust and humidity while also offering compatibility with a wider range of accessories. Key areas have been made smaller for added comfort, and the ball joint bending support is now more reliable with improved wire feeding.
But there's more. We also made significant upgrades to the torch neck. For example, the new water-cooled W-neck with new ceramic insulation and improved water flow offers enhanced cooling to extend the lifetime of consumables, and the refined neck shape enables smoother wire feeding. GXe torches also have a new gas-cooled G-neck with a strong, heavy-duty structure and a new rotation mechanism for increased durability. The neck bend angles and wireline were also optimized to reduce wire feeding disturbance for more stable arc performance and precise welds.
Getting the most out of your MIG/MAG torch means having the best accessories, and GXe torches are no exception. Both the new GRe50 analog remote control for the Series 5 torches and the GRe80 digital display remote control for the Series 8 torches offer improved ergonomics and easy installation, while a new heat protector maximizes hand protection when added to either the standard handle design or the optional gun handle.
Over 200 improvements
GXe is a redesigned Flexlite MIG/MAG torch with over 200 upgrades made to the torch structure compared to the previous version (GX-series).
IP5X protection against dust and humidity
The IP rating classifies the degree of protection against dust and humidity. GXe MIG/MAG torches are IP5X-rated, meaning that they are dust protected. GXe torches also have high humidity protection, but safety regulations don’t allow to rate it.
Smart cable design with maximum bending radius
The GXe series has smart cable design and a modified ball geometry that enables more flexible movement and a smoother wireline. The new shape allows for a narrower and, therefore, more ergonomic handle design.
Slim and compact handle for added comfort
The shape of the ball joint reduces handle grip width and weight, improving ergonomics. Also, improved trigger control with reduced reach distance from the handle adds comfort.
User-friendly remote controls
New lightweight on-torch remote controls have self-orienting modular connectors and silicone gaskets for dust and moisture protection. Two models are available: an analog GRe50 remote control for Series 5 torches and a GRe80 digital display remote with Amphenol connectivity for Series 8 torches.
Clean and spatter-free welding
Separate shielding gas channels and extended cooling circulation running to the end of the gun neck enable cleaner welds, less spatters, and reduced shielding gas consumption.
Less consumables, lower costs
The number of consumables was already reduced with the previous GX series. This lower inventory costs, and now the same consumables are compatible with both GX and the new GXe series torches.
LED work light for better usability
GXe Series 8 welding torches feature an on-torch LED work light to illuminate the area around the contact tip in low-light working conditions. Work light aid pre-weld positioning and post-weld visibility.
New neck design for extra durability
The new neck construction is thinner than ever, but has improved heat resistance with new insulation, stronger outer shell materials, and extended cooling ducts.
Easy access to information
Every Flexlite GXe welding torch is equipped with a QR code, taking you effortlessly to relevant ordering codes, consumables, product documents, and Kemppi contact info.

The heat resistance of the HD welding gun makes a welder's work more efficient
When the workload gets heavy and the days get longer, both welders and their welding guns heat up. Emotions can be cooled down with a cup of coffee, but the welding gun only cools down by taking regular breaks. To keep these breaks as short as possible, optimizing the thermal conductivity and heat resistance of the welding gun are important in daily work.
