Tregaskiss has launched the Tough Gun robotic water-cooled MIG gun, which is capable of withstanding the harsh environments common to high-amperage welding applications. The MIG gun is designed for welding thick plate and/or operating for prolonged duty cycles. Featuring a high-flow gooseneck with four cooling channels and a water-cooled power cable, the Tough Gun robotic water-cooled MIG gun provides cooling capacity to the front-end consumables. The MIG gun also features a sturdy stainless-steel docking body and a durable conduit that swivels independently to provide rigid support for the liner, to ensure smooth, consistent wire feeding and to minimise downtime for maintenance. The Tough Gun robotic water-cooled MIG gun has an accessible front housing, quick-change fittings and replaceable components. The MIG gun uses Tregaskiss’s Common Consumable Platform based on its Tough Lock contact tips and Quick Load liners. The robotic MIG gun provides 600A welding capacity at 100% duty cycle with CO2 shielding gas or 60% duty cycle when welding with mixed gases. As of 31 December 2010, the MIG gun will replace the company’s existing Tough Gun quick-change water-cooled (QCWC) and keyed water-cooled (KWC) robotic MIG guns.
