The Tough Gun Reamer reduces automated MIG welding expense, speeds set-up and lowers downtime by quickly cleaning and removing spatter.
To lower the overall expense of automated MIG welding operations, the TOUGH GUN™ Reamer from Tregaskiss (Windsor, ON) uses long-lasting, maintenance-friendly technology. The reamer also quickly cleans and removes spatter from the MIG welding nozzle to ensure long consumable life, good gas coverage and reliable arc starts.
The TOUGH GUN Reamer includes durable, internally mounted valves and seals around points of entry to protect against contaminants that could lead to costly replacements or repairs. External setup switches are also sealed and allow for independent operation of the sprayer and spindle to expedite manual setup of the reamer. The check valve on the sprayer is electrically operated to ensure more consistent performance.
To expedite routine maintenance and lower downtime costs, Tregaskiss has also incorporated a hinged access door that allows internal components to be reached easily. The addition of quick-disconnect wiring allows replacement of worn valves without rewiring. A quick-change base plate allows the reamer to be removed and replaced quickly and accurately.
Other important features include a four-sided V-block that is compatible with multiple nozzle sizes and a series of switches that provide for faster and more accurate set-up.
