BernardModel TOUGH GUN CA3 -Robotic Air-Cooled MIG Gun

SHARE

Designed for high-volume production environments, TOUGH GUN CA3 robotic air-cooled MIG guns are engineered for precision, durability, accuracy, repeatability, minimal downtime and fast and easy maintenance.

  • Replaceable conventional unicable design offers extended service life and ease of serviceability
  • Dual layer cable outer jacket, re-engineered cable guide and increased copper content contribute to extended service life
    • Reduced costs and downtime due to simplified unicable replacement process
    • New wiring connections simplify unicable replacement
    • Connector and neck remain in mounting arm during cable replacement, mitigating the need for tool center point (TCP) touch-ups
  • Re-engineered neck clamp improves durability and consistency of clamping force
  • Additional standard neck and mounting arm options
    • Expands the range of tool center points and variety of working envelopes
    • Reduces costs and lead times for necks and arms that were previously specials
    • Simplifies transition from standard TOUGH GUN® G2 series configurations while maintaining TCP
  • Compatible with legacy product
    • Compatible with existing TOUGH GUN G1 series necks, gun mounts, power pins and consumables
    • Replacement for TOUGH GUN G1 series with no effect on TCP*
    • Gun part numbers are unaffected by these changes
    • New black gun body simplifies identification of upgraded vs. legacy guns
  • Clutch and solid mount models available
  • Wire brake, air blast and TOUGH GUN I.C.E.™ technology are available options

*An increase to the length of the gun housing was necessary to accommodate the added features and benefits. Verification of tooling or fixture clearance may be required.
