November 1, 2018 Bernard is proud to introduce new AccuLock™ S consumables, a system designed to address liner trim length errors and erratic wire feeding. Important Note: Most components of the AccuLock S consumables family are currently available. The complete offering will be coming soon. The AccuLock S liner is locked and concentrically aligned to both the contact tip and the power pin without the use of fasteners, which provides a flawless wire-feed path that guarantees smooth, uninterrupted delivery of the wire to the weld puddle. Plus, the liner replacement process has been error-proofed so you can trim your liner accurately and easily every time, with no measuring. The AccuLock S consumables system requires all AccuLock components: contact tip, diffuser, nozzle, liner, neck insulator, power pin and power pin cap.
November 1, 2018 Customers may notice that some Bernard® parts and consumables are arriving in different bags. We transitioned to a newly designed Bernard branded white bag design. In addition to changing the artwork layout and color of the bags, the overall usability has also been improved. These new white bags offer a clear window on the printed side of the bag to make visual product identification easier. To increase the hanging capacity of the bags, we’ve added a second hanging hole on our larger bags and a new double-sealed header on all bag sizes. The sombrero shaped hanging holes provide compatibility with a wider variety of hook sizes and shapes.
November 1, 2018 Customers may notice that some Tregaskiss® parts and consumables are arriving in different bags. We transitioned from a black bag design to a white bag design. This new white bag design has a clear window on the back side of the bag to help make visual product identification easier, and the durability and hanging holes remain the same as our previous black bag packaging.

March 9, 2018 We are proud to announce that effective immediately, you will notice some important changes to the Bernard® fume extraction MIG gun offering. Bernard FILTAIR™ fume extraction MIG guns are transitioning under the Clean Air™ brand name and will become our Bernard® Clean Air™ curved handle series fume extraction MIG guns. This product transition offers improved functionality, performance and ease of maintenance. Learn more about Bernard Clean Air fume extraction MIG guns or click here to configure your gun online.
November 30, 2017 Effective immediately, all 8- and 12-foot length options in the BTB semi-automatic air-cooled MIG gun product lineup will be discontinued. BTB MIG guns will continue to be available in lengths of 10-, 15-, 20- and 25-feet. No other configurable options have been affected by this change. View available options or configure a BTB MIG gun today!
July 24, 2017 As of December 31, 2017, legacy TOUGH GUN® ThruArm® G1 series product for ABB® IRB1600ID configurations will be discontinued, and effective immediately, lead time for part number 508-200ABB will be 15 days. Our legacy TOUGH GUN ThruArm G1 series was replaced by our TOUGH GUN TA3 series in 2014, but although A58G1S connector housing is the replacement for 508-200ABB connector housing, this unit will change tool center point (TCP) by approximately 1.428″. For those customers using a 508-200ABB with a 405-22QC neck, we will be able to develop a special 22-degree neck for use with the A58G1S module to match their existing TCP. However, due to a length restriction in manufacturing, we will not be able to match TCP for those customers using a 508-200ABB with a 405-45QC neck. In this case, reprogramming will be necessary when switching to an A58G1S. Additionally, when transitioning from the 508-200ABB to the A58G1S, the 58SA004 LSR Unicable will need to be replaced with the 58SA024 LSR Unicable, as the cable to torch connection is also different. Learn more about our TOUGH GUN TA3 MIG gun offering or their TCP and center of mass data.
April 28, 2017 An improvement has been made to the nozzle detect option for our TOUGH GUN® TT3 reamer. This same option is also now available on our TOUGH GUN TT3E reamer. This new nozzle detect uses a proximity sensor mounted on the side of the reamer that can be used independently of the ream cycle and is compatible with any nozzle size. The robot positions the front end of the MIG gun close to the sensor to detect the presence of the nozzle. If the nozzle is present, a signal is then sent back to the robot controller or PLC. To learn more about our TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer offering, or configure your reamer online.
April 28, 2017 Upgrades have been made to the TOUGH GUN® TT3 reamer to allow for a more common design between this model and the TOUGH GUN TT3E reamer. These upgrades include a common frame, replacement of the terminal strip with a new wiring harness, easy access setup switches, and a new check valve. The wiring harness: Click here for additional information about the TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer.
April 15, 2017 The check valve on the TOUGH GUN® TT3 and TT3E reamer robotic nozzle cleaning stations have been upgraded to a more robust and durable design. The new check valve is now common between both the analog and the Ethernet model. Important Notes: Learn more about our TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer offering.
March 16, 2017 Bernard is pleased to announce that we have added a 300 amp model to our Clean Air™ fume extraction MIG gun offering. Reduce smoke at the source with an industrial-duty fume extraction gun that is comparable in size and weight to a regular welding gun. Click here to learn more about the Clean Air fume extraction MIG gun.
February 13, 2017 Tregaskiss is pleased to announce an improvement to our low-stress robotic (LSR) unicable design whereby the cable conduit will be fixed only on the torch end, and floating on the power pin end. This design change will result in a more flexible, less restricted, longer lasting LSR unicable for all TOUGH GUN® TA3 robotic MIG gun product.
