PRODUCT UPDATE – Tregaskiss TOUGH GUN® TT4 Reamer Robotic Nozzle Cleaning Station Online Configurator and Reverse Lookup Tools

PRODUCT UPDATE – Tregaskiss TOUGH GUN® TT4 Reamer Robotic Nozzle Cleaning Station Online Configurator and Reverse Lookup Tools

Tregaskiss introduces a new online configurator for its TOUGH GUN® TT4 reamer robotic nozzle cleaning stations. The new mobile-friendly configurator allows users to quickly and easily customize their analog or ethernet reamer for their exact application. Users simply follow a series of steps to configure a reamer model, first selecting the V-block and cutter blade to match the outside diameter (OD) and bore of their robotic MIG gun nozzle. Users can then select from various add-ons, including a wire cutter or nozzle detect. Tregaskiss also offers the option to choose accessories sold separately, such as a reamer stand, anti-spatter liquid and an anti-spatter multi-feed system.

After choosing all desired components, the configurator provides a summary of the selections, along with a part number for the reamer. Users can access downloadable replacement parts lists, exploded view diagrams and other valuable takeaways that they can print, save in PDF format for later, or share via email.

Along with the online configurator, a new reverse part number lookup function for Tregaskiss TOUGH GUN® TT4 reamer robotic nozzle cleaning stations is available. By entering a fully configured TOUGH GUN TT4 reamer part number, users get access to a downloadable detailed replacement parts list and other relevant resources specific to their configuration.

Users can visit Tregaskiss.com/ConfigureMyGun to utilize this online configurator or reverse lookup function.

Product Improvement – LSR+ (Plus) Unicables

PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT –
LSR+ Unicables with SmoothTurn Technology

October 11, 2022

For use with TOUGH GUN® TA3 ThruArm® series robotic MIG guns, LSR+ (Low-Stress Robotic) unicables incorporate new SmoothTurn™ technology to maximize production uptime.


Conventional style unicables typically come with a connection that limits rotational capabilities and produces torsional stress in the cable. Unlike conventional unicables, the LSR+ incorporates a rotating power connection that reduces this stress during rotation. Additionally, a protective external conduit contributes to cable longevity by shielding components from harsh welding environments.

Stress Relieving Features

  • SmoothTurn Technology reduces frictional forces on internal components increasing overall cable life up to 300%
  • Enhanced electrical connections provide a more stable arc, resulting in less spatter and longer cable life
  • Unique internal components improve support and bend radius of the cable during heavy robot articulation

Tregaskiss has enhanced the trusted dependability of our existing TOUGH GUN TT3 and TT3E reamers with superior performance, high durability components and new standard features. With increased uptime and weld quality, you’ll spend less time maintaining and troubleshooting your robotic welding equipment and more time getting product out the door.

TOUGH GUN TT4 Reamer - front view

These new reamers power through the toughest spatter with a .95HP motor and 236 lbs. of spindle lifting force at 95 psi. Their higher durability components help to keep your welding operation up and running for extended periods of time:

  • Powerful, lubricated motor lasts up to 18M cycles at 80+ psi
  • Durable valves and cylinders rated for 10M+ cycles
  • Wire cutter can run 1M+ cycles without requiring maintenance

Now included as standard are new features that help reduce downtime, safety incidents and costly weld defects related to anti-spatter:

  • A new anti-spatter reservoir with increased fluid capacity;
  • A new low fluid level indicator that sends a signal to the PLC / robot when anti-spatter is running low; and
  • A new spray containment unit that reduces risk of slip / trip hazards due to overspray contamination.

Discontinuation of TOUGH GUN® TT3 / TT3E Reamers

Tregaskiss will discontinue the sales of the TT3 and TT3E reamers beginning 09/01/2021. However, we will continue to offer TT3 / TT3E replacement parts for a period of five years (until 2026).

        Tregaskiss has made changes to its 5-Gallon (18.9 L) TOUGH GARD® anti-spatter liquid pail design for increased strength and durability. Designed with a heavy duty integrated handle, this new container is easier to handle and can be easily stacked for maximized storage space. The new design also offers an improved seal to eliminate spillage during shipping.

        Like the former pail design, this new 5-Gallon container is compatible with the TOUGH GARD anti-spatter multi-feed system
