Tregaskiss Cutter Blades
June 1, 2013
Tregaskiss is pleased to announce improvements to the design of its cutter blades for use with the TOUGH GUN® TT3 reamer and TOUGH GARD® spatter cleaner robotic nozzle cleaning stations.
These new cutter blades are engineered from harder, stronger material, making them more resistant to breaking, chipping or cracking. The twin flute design with stronger edges allows for improved cutting and cleaning performance.

April 1, 2013 Introducing the next evolution of the TOUGH GUN® reamer from Tregaskiss. Improvements to the sprayer system, new plug and play replacement parts, and simplified internal wiring make this new reamer more reliable and faster and easier to maintain than ever before! Learn more about the TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer and how it benefits both your bottom line and your production uptime and throughput.
November 12, 2010 Effective Monday, November 12, 2010, Tregaskiss has released a new design for the TOUGH GUN® reamer cutter blades. The new product is made in North America and has passed a series of stringent tests. As a result, we are proud to implement this product, approved by the Tregaskiss Engineering team, as our new standard offering. The new design will be implemented as a ‘running change’ and will be sold under the same part numbers as the previous design.
May 7, 2008 Previously we have supplied the type of TR-2210 solenoid valves (made by SMC) for the TOUGH GUN® reamer as shown in the image on the left (OLD). We now offer an improved DIN connection for this product (also from SMC) shown in the image on the right (NEW). This new product is rated “IP65” (as defined in international standard IEC 60529), where: NOTE: This product is designed for use ONLY on TOUGH GUN reamers with externally mounted valves. Refer to product insert INS053 for more information about TR-2210 solenoid valves for TOUGH GUN reamers with external valves.
August 21, 2008 The TOUGH GUN® sprayer, used as a stand-alone unit or on a TOUGH GUN reamer, has been improved in the following ways: Refer to product insert INS058 for more information about RR-1320 anti-spatter reservoirs for TOUGH GUN reamers.
May 14, 2008 The design of the wire cutter blade has been improved to more securely fasten to the TOUGH GUN® wire cutter (WC-100). The WC-100-7 wire cutter blade kit includes the new blade and insert, and is backwards compatible with older wire cutters. Product insert INS049 provides installation and replacement instructions. Factory-installed wire cutter features a built-in heli-coil and use a “socket-counter-sunk-head cap screw” (SCHCS) or flat-head screw to fasten the blade to the wire cutter.
March 2, 2008 The next generation TOUGH GUN® reamer will knock you out with its powerful one-two punch: Rugged durability PLUS new features that improve reliability, ease maintenance, and provide a safer and more accurate setup. Watch our online animation to learn more about the Next Generation TOUGH GUN reamer from Tregaskiss.
June 24, 2009 Tregaskiss has implemented a series of changes to the TOUGH GUN® robotic neck checking fixtures product line. Below is the new simplified offering of robotic neck checking fixtures: *Base plate not included, but the drawings are available free of charge from the Tregaskiss Technical Services department. For more information, please refer to the M042 technical product manual for TOUGH GUN robotic neck checking fixtures.
June 19, 2008 Tregaskiss is proud to introduce the TOUGH GUN® ThruArm® series featuring low-stress robotic (LSR) unicable technology. This new robotic MIG gun feeds through the arm of the robot and incorporates a unique unicable that offers 360 degrees of continuous rotation. Designed specifically to minimize downtime and improve welding performance on today’s through-arm robotic welding systems, the TOUGH GUN ThruArm series with LSR unicable technology is available as a complete package (from the feeder to the contact tip) for both clutch and solid mount robotic systems, including those by FANUC®, OTC Daihen®, ABB® and Motoman®. Click here to learn more about this product.
December 8, 2008 Tregaskiss is pleased to offer an improved rear housing for robotic Euro MIG guns (part #677E), which provides improved protection from the welding environment, it’s easier to install and maintain, it has a larger, more robust spring, and it’s backwards compatible with existing robotic Euro MIG guns.
October 1, 2008 As of October 1, 2008, the 450 amp TOUGH GUN® robotic water-cooled MIG gun models have been replaced with 550 amp MIG Guns equipped with TOUGH GUN I.C.E.® technology. Replacement parts and consumables for existing 450 amp robotic water-cooled MIG guns will continue to be sold by Tregaskiss for a period of 5 years*. *Availability and list prices of replacement parts for the affected products are subject to change without notice. Click here for more information.
March 25, 2008 Tregaskiss has discontinued the AS-708-22 (6′) and AS-708-23 (12′) control cables and replaced them with Coupled with the AS-708-14-1 “curly” clutch cord (with LED lights), the new AS-708-2406 (6′) and AS-708-2412 (12′) control cables should experience improved longevity and performance compared to the old cords.
December 16, 2010 As of December 31, 2010, the Tregaskiss® 600 amp robotic water-cooled MIG gun will replace the 650 amp robotic water-cooled MIG gun. Click here for more information.
November 2, 2010 To maximize productivity when welding thick plate and/or operating for prolonged duty cycles, Tregaskiss offers its robotic water-cooled MIG gun, which includes a new wire brake feature. The wire brake feature works in conjunction with wire touch sensing to help determine the location of weld joints and supports good weld quality and productivity. This feature can be ordered through Tregaskiss’ MIG gun Configurator and is available for wire sizes from 0.035- to 1/16-inch diameter. The Tregaskiss® robotic water-cooled MIG gun also includes a high-flow neck with four cooling channels and a water-cooled power cable that provides excellent cooling capacity to the front-end consumables to help extend their service life and allow for longer periods of welding. Additionally, the TOUGH GUN robotic water-cooled MIG gun features a sturdy stainless steel docking body capable of withstanding the harsh environments common to high-amperage welding applications, along with a durable conduit that swivels independently to provide rigid support for the liner, ensure smooth and consistent wire feeding, and minimize downtime for maintenance. Adding to the ease of maintenance, the new MIG gun has an accessible front housing, quick-change fittings and replaceable components, all features that support greater productivity by lessening the time needed to care for the gun. The Tregaskiss robotic water-cooled MIG gun uses the TOUGH LOCK® consumable platform — common across Tregaskiss robotic and automatic MIG guns and Bernard® T-Gun series (formerly Tregaskiss TOUGH GUN semi-automatic MIG guns) and TGX® series (formerly Tregaskiss TGX series) MIG guns, allowing users of multiple styles of guns to simplify and reduce their overall inventory of welding consumables. This robotic MIG gun provides 600 amps welding capacity at 100 percent duty cycle with CO2 shielding gas or 60 percent duty cycle when welding with mixed gases. Further, Tregaskiss R&D testing and extensive field trials have proven this MIG gun is a reliable performer in the most demanding welding applications, including thick-plate welding that is common in the heavy-equipment manufacturing industry. This robotic MIG gun represents the future of the TOUGH GUN robotic water-cooled product line and, as of December 31, 2010 it has completely replaced Tregaskiss’ existing TOUGH GUN quick-change water-cooled (QCWC) and keyed water-cooled (KWC) robotic MIG guns.
