[…] brake the liner must be loaded from the back, even if it is a front-loading style of liner; there needs to be a jump liner inside the neck at the front to ensure steady feed of the wire into the liner. The lack of a small jump liner can lead to wire feeding problems […]
[…] This is useful for applications pushing the duty cycle limits of an air-cooled model, but that don’t require a complete water-cooled solution. These guns have a durable neck and unicable like an air-cooled model and offer the higher cooling capacity of a water-cooled front end. The hybrid guns, which can provide easier maintenance than […]

[…] and lowering overall consumable costs. CWD and TWD Robotic Water-Cooled MIG Guns are available in clutch and solid mount models, with a variety of mounting arm and neck options to achieve Tool Center Point (TCP). They also include integrated air blast and a simple liner design, with one end pre-dressed at the factory to […]
[…] the MDX-250 and MDX-250 EZ-Select guns are also compatible with Bernard AccuLock S consumables. Both AccuLock series feature tapered connections between the contact tip, gas diffuser and neck to maximize electrical conductivity for longer product life. Coarse thread on the contact tips speeds replacement by mating easily with the gas diffuser and lessens the […]
[…] The contact tips also simplify inventory as part of a common consumable platform; they share the same contact tip with Tregaskiss® AccuLock R consumables. The AccuLock S consumables system requires all AccuLock components: contact tip, diffuser, nozzle, liner, neck insulator, power pin and power pin cap.

[…] contact tip recess The diffuser, the tip and the nozzle are the three primary parts that comprise MIG gun consumables. The diffuser attaches directly to the gun neck and carries current through to the contact tip and directs the gas into the nozzle. The tip connects with the diffuser and transfers the current to […]
[…] working properly, operators should conduct a continuity check in the open and closed position of the switch using a multimeter or manually trip it by bumping the neck with their hand. If the sensor is working properly, it will send a signal back to the robot indicating there is a problem. Always reset the […]

[…] avoid occasional collisions, selecting a robust robotic MIG gun will greatly reduce the downtime, lost production and product replacement costs associated with these unforeseen collisions. Typically, the neck of the robotic MIG gun takes the brunt of the impact so choosing a product with sufficient armor should help maintain the TCP (tool center point) […]

The third main category is front-loading liners that have a spring-loaded module inserted into the power pin, allowing for up to 1 inch […]
[…] high enough flow of parts to the robotic welding cell for the application so that it can operate consistently. Delays in upstream parts fabrication can cause bottle necks that result in costly downtime. Is it better to use fixed automation or a robot? Each type of automation has its own best applications. Fixed automation […]
[…] cycle factors Space is always a consideration with robotic welding systems. Fixturing and tooling can limit the ability of the robot to maneuver to a part. Bottle neck, straight or tapered nozzles are common choices to accommodate for those restrictions since they are narrower than standard nozzles and can provide better access. The more […]
[…] a cooling solution from a radiator unit, usually integrated inside or near the power source, through cooling hoses inside the power cable and into the gun handle, neck and consumables. The coolant returns to the radiator where the radiator’s baffling system releases the heat absorbed by the coolant. The ambient air and shielding gas […]
[…] on a regular basis During routine pauses in production, look for secure connections along the length of the robotic MIG gun. Be certain that the MIG gun neck, retaining head (diffuser), contact tip and nozzle are all tight and clean. Also check that the seals around the nozzle are in good condition. Good connections […]
[…] and duty cycle, and use consumables appropriate for the application. Companies also need to be certain to assess their overall welding operation for consistent process flow. Bottle necks upstream can easily slow down the movement of parts into the robotic work cell and the ability of the system to function to its full capacity. […]
[…] the gun and components. When changing consumables, be sure threads are clean and tight. Inspect the gun regularly, tightening any loose connection — whether it’s the diffuser, neck or contact tip. Loose connections inhibit power transfer within the circuit for the weld. It’s also important to check all connections after servicing the gun or […]
[…] eliminates measuring and incorrectly trimming liners. In contrast to most MIG gun liners that load from the back of the gun, AccuLock S liners load through the neck at the front of the gun. The liner is then locked and trimmed flush with the power pin at the back of the gun, which eliminates […]
