The AccuLock™ S for Conventional Liners starter kit (part number: ALCSK-1) is designed to help welders convert from their current BTB MIG gun consumables to AccuLock™ S consumables.

The kit contains everything needed for welders to swap their current nozzle, diffuser and contact tip with AccuLock™ S consumables with the ability to still use their existing conventional liner. Contact your distributor for more information or to order a kit today!

PRODUCT CHANGE — AccuLock™ Conventional Liner Gas Diffusers

PRODUCT CHANGE — AccuLock™ S Conventional Liner Gas Diffusers — O-Ring Color Change to Gray

All AccuLock S conventional liner gas diffusers began shipping with a gray o-ring instead of a black o-ring on February 22, 2023. The gray o-ring makes it easier to tell the difference between an AccuLock S dual-locked liner gas diffuser and an AccuLock S conventional liner gas diffuser.

O Ring change on D-A1-C Diffuser

For reference, the AccuLock gas diffuser part numbers listed below will be assembled with a gray o-ring:

PRODUCT UPDATE – AccuLock™ S Power Pin Cap Design Change

PRODUCT UPDATE — AccuLock™ S Power Pin Cap Design Change

The design of all AccuLock S power pin caps will be updated to allow retention of AccuLock S liners with a set screw instead of a rubber washer. This running change impacts Bernard® BTB MIG guns. It takes place on March 17, 2022.

All BTB MIG guns configured with AccuLock S consumables ordered and/or built after March 17, 2022 will include the new set screw. The same can be said for orders placed for replacement AccuLock S power pin caps.

Additional changes include:

  • Each size of AccuLock S power pin cap will have a visible gas sealing washer that is color matched to compatible liner shrink tube
  • Wire size compatibility will change for two AccuLock S liners:
Liner Part NumberFormer Wire Size CompatibilityNew Wire Size Compatibility
LA6A-XX5/64″ (2.0 mm) – 3/32″ (2.4 mm)5/64″ (2.0 mm)
LA7A-XX3/32″ (2.4 mm) – 7/64″ (2.8 mm)3/32″ (2.4 mm)

  • A new Euro power pin option (a two-piece assembly comprised of power pin and pass-through gun connector) will be offered when configuring Bernard BTB MIG guns with AccuLock S Consumables.

New design advantages include easier power pin cap installation, improved liner retention and simpler identification of compatible parts.
Additional considerations:

  • No change to how Bernard BTB MIG guns configured with AccuLock S consumables are ordered
  • T-handle hex wrench included with every Bernard BTB MIG gun configured with AccuLock S consumables
  • Extra set screw included with every Acculock S liner, can also be ordered separately
  • No change to the way Miller® MDX™ gun liners are retained at this time

For more information, refer to the AccuLock S consumables spec sheet. Additional how-to videos can also be found on Tregaskiss.com/AccuLock S.

The AccuLock S consumables system is designed to address liner trim length errors and erratic wire feeding. The AccuLock S liner is locked and concentrically aligned to both the contact tip and the power pin without the use of fasteners, which provides a flawless wire-feed path that guarantees smooth, uninterrupted delivery of the wire to the weld puddle. Plus, the liner replacement process has been error-proofed so you can trim your liner accurately and easily every time, with no measuring.

Important Note:
The AccuLock S consumables system requires all AccuLock components: contact tip, diffuser, nozzle, liner, neck insulator, power pin and power pin cap.

Reduce troubleshooting, production downtime and rework with AccuLock S Consumables.

PRODUCT CHANGE — Changes to Crimping on Select Nozzles

PRODUCT CHANGE — Changes to Crimping on Select Nozzles

      NEW PRODUCT – AccuLock R Consumables

      NEW PRODUCT – AccuLock R Consumables

      October 23, 2019

      Tregaskiss is pleased to announce the launch of new AccuLock™ R consumables, a system designed to maximize throughput and efficiency with minimal risk and effort.

      Image of AccuLock R consumables family including contact tips, nozzle and diffuser

      AccuLock contact tips last longer and are virtually impossible to cross-thread. The long contact tip tail concentrically aligns the tip within the diffuser prior to thread engagement, and this coupled with the tip’s coarse thread ensures quick, accurate replacement without cross-threading. An upgrade to AccuLock HDP contact tips can extend life by 10x or more in pulse welding applications.

      You can easily switch from TOUGH LOCK® and other consumables to AccuLock R consumables with no impact to tool center point (TCP), making this upgrade low effort, low risk, and high payoff.

      Plus, Tregaskiss AccuLock R consumables and Bernard® AccuLock S consumables share a common contact tip, so you can benefit from the reduced costs and simplified inventory of a common consumable platform™ if you have a combination of robotic and semi-automatic MIG guns in your facility.

      Reduce troubleshooting, downtime and rework with these new consumables. Learn more about Tregaskiss® AccuLock™ R consumables.

                NEW PRODUCT – AccuLock S Consumables

                NEW PRODUCT – AccuLock S Consumables

                November 1, 2018

                Bernard is proud to introduce new AccuLock™ S consumables, a system designed to address liner trim length errors and erratic wire feeding.

                Important Note: Most components of the AccuLock S consumables family are currently available. The complete offering will be coming soon.

                The AccuLock S liner is locked and concentrically aligned to both the contact tip and the power pin without the use of fasteners, which provides a flawless wire-feed path that guarantees smooth, uninterrupted delivery of the wire to the weld puddle. Plus, the liner replacement process has been error-proofed so you can trim your liner accurately and easily every time, with no measuring.

                The AccuLock S consumables system requires all AccuLock components: contact tip, diffuser, nozzle, liner, neck insulator, power pin and power pin cap.

                  PACKAGING CHANGE – Changes to Bernard Bag Packaging

                  PACKAGING CHANGE — Changes to Bernard Bag Packaging

                  November 1, 2018

                  Customers may notice that some Bernard® parts and consumables are arriving in different bags. We transitioned to a newly designed Bernard branded white bag design.

                  In addition to changing the artwork layout and color of the bags, the overall usability has also been improved. These new white bags offer a clear window on the printed side of the bag to make visual product identification easier. To increase the hanging capacity of the bags, we’ve added a second hanging hole on our larger bags and a new double-sealed header on all bag sizes. The sombrero shaped hanging holes provide compatibility with a wider variety of hook sizes and shapes.

This new white bag design has a clear window on the back side of the bag to help make visual product identification easier, and the durability and hanging holes remain the same as our previous black bag packaging.

                      PRODUCT UPDATE – New Liner Trim Length for Liners 6-Feet Long and Shorter

                      PRODUCT UPDATE –
                      New Liner Trim Length for Liners 6-Feet Long and Shorter

                      February 3, 2017

                      Tregaskiss now recommends trimming all rear-loading conventional and front-loading QUICK LOAD® liners that are 6-feet in length and shorter with a 1/2-inch stick out.

                      This new trim length provides performance improvements for the liner and cable, and for wire feeding overall. It also helps to reduce some strain on both the liner and the cable while still maintaining a proper liner seat in both the retaining head and the power pin.

                      Effective late February, all bagged 6-foot Tregaskiss conventional and QUICK LOAD liners will include a new 1/2-inch blue liner gauge along with a technical insert outlining these updated trimming instructions. The outside of each bag will also be marked with a sticker indicating a change to liner trim length.
                       

                      Liner trim length instructions


                      NOTE: Liners longer than 6-foot in length should still continue to be trimmed with a 3/4-inch stick out. No change to liner gauges or trim instructions for conventional or QUICK LOAD liners longer than 6-feet is recommended.
