PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT –
Trigger Control Plug Housing on BTB MIG Guns
November 23, 2015
Bernard has redesigned the trigger control plug housing on located on the rear strain relief as well as the trigger control plug connection on BTB MIG guns. This change provides an internal connection which is more durable and also allows the strain relief to fit more easily into various feeders from major manufacturers. The double-life MIG gun system also known as the “flip-flop” for T series straight handles is still compatible with this change.

Although no new neck insulators are being introduced due to implementation of the BTB semi-automatic air-cooled MIG gun platform on June 2, 2014, users should be aware that neck insulator replacement for these guns will be based on several variables including: Please use the following chart when selecting the appropriate replacement neck insulator:
New BTB platform MIG guns, launching on June 2, 2014, will feature a common straight rear strain relief (shown right) on almost all configurations. This straight rear strain relief was originally introduced on Tregaskiss TOUGH GUN semi-automatic MIG guns and allows expansion or maintenance of several key features: Only BTB platform guns configured with Bernard or Euro power pins will incorporate the black clamshell rear strain relief originally introduced on Bernard Q-Gun and S-Gun MIG Guns. This rear strain relief is also now covered by the same Lifetime Warranty offered on the straight rear strain relief (above) for BTB platform guns. Please note the following liner compatibility:
Please note that not all Bernard necks will have this new dual thread. Necks that will NOT have the new dual thread include: There is a subtle difference to the appearance of the threads on the necks as shown below: Please click here for more details on necks offered through the BTB MIG gun platform. The Bernard necks spec sheet can be downloaded in PDF format by clicking here.
Beginning on June 2, 2014, Bernard’s new BTB MIG gun platform brings our Q-Gun™, S-Gun™ and T-Gun™ MIG Guns into a single gun line and single configurator. To combine the gun lines, it was necessary to standardize the back ends of all BTB MIG guns with the straight rear strain relief found on Bernard® T-Gun™ MIG guns (formerly Tregaskiss® TOUGH GUN® semi-automatic MIG guns). Similarly, the Tregaskiss power pins that mate with the T-Gun series have now been adopted with some slight modifications as the Bernard power pins for both Bernard semi-automatic and Tregaskiss robotic MIG guns. The slight modifications include a new overall hex shape (see image on right) and fixed gas barbs. Bernard MIG gun lines that are compatible with these pins include: Due to the expanded compatibility of these pins, some distributors and end users will be able to reduce inventories of Bernard replacement parts. For additional information on power pin kits and power pins, please click here to access the spec sheets in PDF format.
Launched on June 2, 2014, the new Bernard® conventional liners are compatible with all legacy Q-Gun™, S-Gun™ and T-Gun™ MIG guns and all BTB platform guns, which allows you to simplify and reduce your inventory. The image to the right shows how the previous liner locks were merged in the design of the new Bernard conventional liner to maximize backwards compatibility. Due to this customer-friendly backwards compatibility, the part numbers below supersede previous Bernard conventional liner part numbers. Made of high carbon music wire for smooth wire feed and long life, Bernard conventional liners are available in lengths of up to 25 feet (7.6 m) and are color coded for your convenience to indicate a variety of wire sizes. Please see the chart below for part numbers, wire sizes, and color coding information: *Standard Liner for 0.035″-0.045″ Guns NOTE: Tregaskiss conventional liner numbers will continue to be offered due to their continued use in Tregaskiss robotic MIG guns.

Along with the new Bernard® semi-automatic MIG guns BTB platform launching on June 2, 2014, Bernard is pleased to announce the launch of the improved Q-Nut used on all Bernard rotatable necks. It has been completely redesigned to offer a significant increase in durability. Please note that the new silicone ring, Q-Nut cover and silicone insulator are now installed from the back of the neck instead of the front. “How to install the new Q-Nut” instructions are available on our website in the How-To Guides and Videos area of our Technical Support section. Please click here to access this How-To article.
Former Q-Gun™ and S-Gun™ MIG guns will require an additional character added to the end of the existing part numbers to allow for new liner selection options. Former T-Gun™ semi-automatic air-cooled MIG guns will be adopting Q-Gun style part numbering for consistency across all guns within the new single configurator. Example old and new part numbers are shown below: Q-Gun MIG Guns Q4015GE8CM Q4015GE8CMC S-Gun MIG Guns S3012TF5CM S3012TF5CMC T-Gun MIG Guns M3010-35 Q3010MP3CMC For a limited time from June 2 until August 1, 2014, both old and new part numbers will be supported in our system to allow our distribution partners to update their computer systems. To assist our customers in converting old gun part numbers to new Best of the Best Platform part numbers, we have created an online conversion tool. To populate the data in the tool, Q-Gun, S-Gun and T-Gun MIG Gun part numbers configured between April 2011 and April 2014 were pulled and converted to the new part numbering system. Click here to access this conversion tool.
We have added internal stops to all Centerfire™ and Quik Tip™ diffusers to improve alignment between the liner and contact tip for enhanced wire feedability. This product improvement is being implemented as a running change. The new internal stop inside Centerfire and Quik Tip diffusers prevents the liner from going all the way through the diffuser, therefore changing how liners need to be installed. Liner installation will now require the removal of the diffuser. Please note that trim lengths will also be affected. See product insert INS-DIFF for more information. How can I tell the difference between Centerfire and Quik Tip diffusers with the NEW internal stop vs. the original style Centerfire and Quik Tip diffusers? To help distinguish Centerfire diffusers (shown below, left) with the new internal stop, users can check the orientation of the roll mark. In original style diffusers, the roll mark is readable when the tip end is at the top. In diffusers with the new internal stop, the roll mark is readable when the neck end is at the top. To distinguish Quik Tip diffusers (shown above, right) with the new internal stop, users can check the roll mark. In the original style diffusers, the roll mark has one Bernard starburst stamped before the part number. In diffusers with the new internal stop, the roll mark has a Bernard starburst stamped before AND after the part number. For both Centerfire and Quik Tip diffusers, a second simple method to check for an internal stop would be to insert a liner into the diffuser. If the liner will not pass all the way through the diffuser, then an internal stop is present. Please note that it is important to understand which diffuser you are using as this affects liner trim length during replacement. Please refer to the insert inside of your diffuser bag or click here for additional information about liner replacement and trim length details.
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. Click here to find out more about the features and benefits of these improvements. For use with the TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer: For use with the TOUGH GARD spatter cleaner: Binzel® is the registered trademark of Alexander Binzel Schweisstechnik GmbH & Co. KG, Germany. Panasonic® is the registered trademark of Panasonic Welding Systems Co., Ltd.
The improved swivel design on the Bernard® FILTAIR™ fume extraction MIG gun now uses threads to retain the vacuum hose and eliminates the front band-it clamp from both amperage models. This redesign will improve performance and avoids replacing the hose clamp with a larger head. The new design threads into the vacuum hose and cannot be removed unless the hose is cut to remove it from the threads. Removing the front band-it clamp also eliminates the possibility of the clamp getting snagged on other equipment, gloves, clothing, etc. Did any part numbers change? Answer: The new threaded swivels are backwards compatible with existing guns. As a result, swivel part numbers did not change. How can you tell the difference between the old version and the new 2013 design? Answer: New 2013 design will not have the metal front band-it clamp located on the hose near the rear of the handle. See Figure below:
March 1, 2013 Tregaskiss is pleased to announce an improvement to our fixed automatic series MIG guns. These robust machine torches are engineered for hard tooling applications requiring a durable welding torch, and they now feature a one-piece high strength phenolic handle.
