Semi-Automatic MIG Welding
Tregaskiss™ offers two lines of semi-automatic MIG welding
guns: TOUGH GUN™ MIG Guns and TGX™ MIG Guns.
TOUGH GUN Semi-Automatic MIG Guns
Built with durability in mind, TOUGH GUN Semi-Automatic MIG
Guns are ideal for heavy-duty MIG welding applications.
These built-to-order MIG guns keep on welding in the harshest
and most abusive environments.
- Air-Cooled Models: 350, 450, 550 and 650 amp
- Water-Cooled Models: 400 amp and 600 amp
- Euro models available.
TGX Semi-Automatic MIG Guns
Designed for light- to medium-duty welding applications,
TGX MIG Guns are offered via Easy As 1-2-3! and Ready To
Weld. Easy As 1-2-3! allows welding distributors to configure
and assemble a TGX MIG Gun in less than 10 minutes to meet customer requirements. Ready To Weld allows distributors to
order factory assembled, pre-configured MIG guns.
- Common Consumable Platform - TOUGH GUN Semi-Automatic and Robotic MIG guns use the same Tregaskiss consumables resulting in less overall inventory
- TOUGH LOCK™ Consumable System provides the improved performance and reliability you need to maximize production and minimize downtime
- QUICK LOAD™ Liner Standard as July 2011 - Requires less than 1/2 the time and effort to replace (compared to conventional-style liners)
