            Legacy TOUGH GUN ThruArm G1 Series Product for ABB IRB1600ID

            July 24, 2017

            Image comparing TCP of A58G1S to 508-200ABB connector housings for ABB robots

            As of December 31, 2017, legacy TOUGH GUN® ThruArm® G1 series product for ABB® IRB1600ID configurations will be discontinued, and effective immediately, lead time for part number 508-200ABB will be 15 days.

            • 508-200ABB
            • W508-200ABB
            • 508-200ABB-6
            • 58SA004

            Our legacy TOUGH GUN ThruArm G1 series was replaced by our TOUGH GUN TA3 series in 2014, but although A58G1S connector housing is the replacement for 508-200ABB connector housing, this unit will change tool center point (TCP) by approximately 1.428″.

            For those customers using a 508-200ABB with a 405-22QC neck, we will be able to develop a special 22-degree neck for use with the A58G1S module to match their existing TCP. However, due to a length restriction in manufacturing, we will not be able to match TCP for those customers using a 508-200ABB with a 405-45QC neck. In this case, reprogramming will be necessary when switching to an A58G1S.

            Additionally, when transitioning from the 508-200ABB to the A58G1S, the 58SA004 LSR Unicable will need to be replaced with the 58SA024 LSR Unicable, as the cable to torch connection is also different.

              PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT –
              Nozzle Detection Option for TOUGH GUN TT3 and TT3E Reamer Robotic Nozzle Cleaning Stations

              April 28, 2017

              Nozzle detect shown installed on TOUGH GUN TT3E reamer

              An improvement has been made to the nozzle detect option for our TOUGH GUN® TT3 reamer. This same option is also now available on our TOUGH GUN TT3E reamer.

              This new nozzle detect uses a proximity sensor mounted on the side of the reamer that can be used independently of the ream cycle and is compatible with any nozzle size. The robot positions the front end of the MIG gun close to the sensor to detect the presence of the nozzle. If the nozzle is present, a signal is then sent back to the robot controller or PLC.

              Affected Part Numbers

              • TT-2333 + TT-2334 – OLD nozzle detect for TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer (analog model); available only for 1.062″ nozzle O.D.
              • TT3E-2344 – NEW nozzle detect for TOUGH GUN TT3 and TT3E reamer; available for all nozzle O.D. sizes
              • RS-500-5 – 4m cable with 3 poles (M12 connector); required for analog model only and only when selecting Nozzle Detection option
              • TT3E-2343 – Splitter; required for Ethernet model only and only when selecting both the nozzle detect and the wire cutter options together

                      Tregaskiss TOUGH GUN TA3 Torch Solutions for Yaskawa Motoman Robots

                      December 18, 2019

                      Overview

                      Tregaskiss manufactures TOUGH GUN® TA3 through-arm welding torches for many Yaskawa® Motoman® robot models including but not limited to:

                      • Current models: AR/MA1440, MH12, AR/MA2010, AR/MA3120, AR1730, MH24
                      • Legacy models: MA/EA1400, MA/EA1900, MA3100

                      On the current robot models listed above, the spacers and through-arm cables on a Tregaskiss® gun may originate from either Tregaskiss or from Yaskawa Motoman. It is important to note that the spacers and cables from Tregaskiss have significantly different dimensions than these same items from Yaskawa Motoman. This means that they are NOT interchangeable. Ordering the wrong replacement spacer and/or cable for an existing installation will significantly impact Tool Center Point (TCP) and cable life – please see Configuration Comparison Chart below for both solid mount and clutch mount setups with a short 45-degree neck for reference.

                      Details

                      For each model above, when a TOUGH GUN TA3 MIG gun is configured through Tregaskiss, the complete torch solution is Tregaskiss branded and includes: consumables, neck, torch, cable and power pin. For AR/MA1440, MH12, AR/MA2010, AR/MA3120, AR1730, MH24 models, the system also includes a Tregaskiss-specific aluminum spacer which allows us to bury the cable termination into the torch and away from the articulation on axis 5.

                      When Yaskawa Motoman integrates a welding solution with Tregaskiss product, a Motoman through-arm cable replaces the Tregaskiss through-arm cable for all models listed above (consumables, neck, torch and power pin remain Tregaskiss branded). For AR/MA1440, MH12, AR/MA2010, AR/MA3120, AR1730, MH24 models, the system also includes a Motoman-specific plastic torch spacer which allows us to bury the cable termination into the torch and away from the articulation on axis 5. This Motoman spacer is shorter than the Tregaskiss spacer and as a result, the Motoman cable for this setup is also shorter than the Tregaskiss-specific setup.

                      Improper Setup – Negative impact on TCP and/or cable life

                      Improper setup of a Motoman plastic spacer and Tregaskiss cable, resulting with the cable being too long

                      Installing a Tregaskiss cable on a system with a plastic spacer will result in a cable that is too long. Although this cable can be physically installed, this setup will result in premature cable failure.

                                              PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT – Electronic Check Valve and Mounting Bracket Added to the TOUGH GUN TT3 Reamer

                                              PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT —
                                              Electronic Check Valve and Mounting Bracket Added to the TOUGH GUN TT3 Reamer

                                              August 11, 2014

                                              Image of TOUGH GUN TT3 Reamer with Electronic Check Valve and Mounting Bracket

                                              An electronic check valve and mounting bracket have been added to the TOUGH GUN® TT3 reamer. This improvement provides added protection against leakage from the sprayer reservoir.  

                                              Since this addition affects the wiring slightly, updated wiring diagram instructions are provided with every affected unit.

                                              A TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer sprayer valve retrofit kit (part #TT3-500R) is available for units manufactured prior to August 11, 2014.

                                              How Do I Know If I Need to Retrofit My Reamer?

                                              If your TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer:

                                              • has a spray head that pools or leaks anti-spatter once the system is primed;
                                              • has an elevated multi-feed / bulkfeed source (drum / pail located on top of the mezzanine);
                                              • is mounted on an angle (baseplate is not parallel with the floor);

                                              you will require the TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer sprayer valve retrofit kit #TT3-500R to fix any issues that you may be experiencing. Installation of this kit should take approximately 15 minutes.

                                                Tregaskiss is pleased to announce improvements to the design of its cutter blades for use with the TOUGH GUN® TT3 reamer and TOUGH GARD® spatter cleaner robotic nozzle cleaning stations.

                                                Image of cutter blades

                                                These new cutter blades are engineered from harder, stronger material, making them more resistant to breaking, chipping or cracking. The twin flute design with stronger edges allows for improved cutting and cleaning performance.
