DISCONTINUED PRODUCT –
Legacy TOUGH GUN ThruArm G1 Series Product for ABB IRB1600ID
July 24, 2017
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.

April 28, 2017 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. To learn more about our TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer offering, or configure your reamer online.
April 28, 2017 Upgrades have been made to the TOUGH GUN® TT3 reamer to allow for a more common design between this model and the TOUGH GUN TT3E reamer. These upgrades include a common frame, replacement of the terminal strip with a new wiring harness, easy access setup switches, and a new check valve. The wiring harness: Click here for additional information about the TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer.
April 15, 2017 The check valve on the TOUGH GUN® TT3 and TT3E reamer robotic nozzle cleaning stations have been upgraded to a more robust and durable design. The new check valve is now common between both the analog and the Ethernet model. Important Notes: Learn more about our TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer offering.
February 13, 2017 Tregaskiss is pleased to announce an improvement to our low-stress robotic (LSR) unicable design whereby the cable conduit will be fixed only on the torch end, and floating on the power pin end. This design change will result in a more flexible, less restricted, longer lasting LSR unicable for all TOUGH GUN® TA3 robotic MIG gun product. Click here for more information about low-stress robotic (LSR) unicables.
December 18, 2019 Tregaskiss manufactures TOUGH GUN® TA3 through-arm welding torches for many Yaskawa® Motoman® robot models including but not limited to: 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. 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. NOTE: Reference chart above is applicable for Yaskawa Motoman robot models AR/MA1440, MH12, AR/MA2010, AR/MA3120, AR1730, MH24. 58SM016 Solid Mount Solid Mount Motoman Solid Mount 58SM002 58SM038 58SM038AW MA3120, AR3120 Solid Mount AS-114-13 58SM032 58SM032A 58SM032W 58SM032AW 58SM039 58SM039W Clutch 58CM016A 58CM016AW Motoman EA1900 XRC Clutch N/A 58CM001A Motoman 58CM035 Motoman 58CM002AW AS-114-13 Clutch 58CM031W 58CM031AW Clutch 58CM032 58CM032A 58CM032W 58CM039W NOTE: If Tregaskiss® TOUGH GUN I.C.E.® technology is required for your application, the cable must be purchased from Yaskawa Motoman for all of their robot models. If you require Yaskawa Motoman components, please contact Yaskawa Motoman directly. Otherwise, if you require Tregaskiss components, please contact us for assistance.

November 12, 2010 Effective Monday, November 12, 2010, Tregaskiss has released a new design for the TOUGH GUN® reamer cutter blades. The new product is made in North America and has passed a series of stringent tests. As a result, we are proud to implement this product, approved by the Tregaskiss Engineering team, as our new standard offering. The new design will be implemented as a ‘running change’ and will be sold under the same part numbers as the previous design.
May 7, 2008 Previously we have supplied the type of TR-2210 solenoid valves (made by SMC) for the TOUGH GUN® reamer as shown in the image on the left (OLD). We now offer an improved DIN connection for this product (also from SMC) shown in the image on the right (NEW). This new product is rated “IP65” (as defined in international standard IEC 60529), where: NOTE: This product is designed for use ONLY on TOUGH GUN reamers with externally mounted valves. Refer to product insert INS053 for more information about TR-2210 solenoid valves for TOUGH GUN reamers with external valves.
August 21, 2008 The TOUGH GUN® sprayer, used as a stand-alone unit or on a TOUGH GUN reamer, has been improved in the following ways: Refer to product insert INS058 for more information about RR-1320 anti-spatter reservoirs for TOUGH GUN reamers.
May 14, 2008 The design of the wire cutter blade has been improved to more securely fasten to the TOUGH GUN® wire cutter (WC-100). The WC-100-7 wire cutter blade kit includes the new blade and insert, and is backwards compatible with older wire cutters. Product insert INS049 provides installation and replacement instructions. Factory-installed wire cutter features a built-in heli-coil and use a “socket-counter-sunk-head cap screw” (SCHCS) or flat-head screw to fasten the blade to the wire cutter.

A complete Tregaskiss setup consists of all Tregaskiss branded components. The torch spacer will be aluminum and approximately 4-3/8″ in length. The cable will have a corrugated hose from front to back.
A hybrid Tregaskiss/Motoman setup consists of a Tregaskiss torch and consumables with a Motoman spacer and cable. The spacer will be approximately 2-3/8″ in length. The cable will have a loose spring from front to back.Improper Setup – Negative impact on TCP and/or cable life
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.
Installing a Motoman cable on a system with an aluminum spacer will result in a cable that is too short. This cable will not be long enough to plug the power pin into the wire feederTregaskiss Spacer and LSR Unicable Part Number Reference Chart
