Water-cooled MIG gun debuts

By Janice Wood · December 7, 2009 ·

WC_backend wpath 2Bernard has introduced its customizable W-series water-cooled MIG guns and new water-cooled Centerfire consumables to meet the needs of high-amperage, water-cooled MIG applications. W-Guns offer users their choice of neck style, cable length, handle style, consumables and direct plugs, according to company officials.

W-Guns are rated to 600-amps at 100% duty cycle and offer direct plug connections to all major wire feeder brands, including Miller, Lincoln, Tweco 4 and Euro. The water-cooled Centerfire consumables come with either a 1/8- or 1/4-inch contact tip recess and feature a spatter shield that improves shielding gas flow to better protect the weld puddle and keeps spatter from clogging the shielding gas diffuser, company officials note.
