Taylor Machine Works saves money and improves performance by welding its forklifts with Bernard MIG guns. All Bernard MIG gun parts are replaceable, and the necks adjust to fit tight joints. “You can put different necks on the guns. Those twisty necks, I call them. We can loosen them use them and change the angle to get in tighter places. The employees they love them. Bernard guns are very helpful to us and our welding process” raves Craig Callahan, Quality Control Welding Inspector for Taylor Machine Works. “When we first went to a Bernard gun, I had one man who didn’t change a tip for 27 days. They usually we’re changing tips, nozzle and diffusers multiple times a day. Now they only have to change the tips once a day”, says Steve Nazary, Quality Assurance Supervisor for Taylor Machine Works, since converting to Centerfire™ consumables. Bernard MIG welding consumables help Taylor Machine Works save time by reducing contact tip changeover in its forklift welding operations.
Changing a conventional liner can cost you in more ways than one. The Tregaskiss QUICK LOAD liner AutoLength system can help you eliminate those costs.
The Consumable Challenge proves a welder can change Bernard Centerfire consumables on a BTB MIG Gun faster than competitor consumables. Watch as we compare the strength of our Bernard BTB semi-automatic air-cooled MIG gun handle to those of our competitors. Watch as we compare the in real-time how long it takes to replace a QUICK LOAD liner VS. conventional rear-loading liner.
“Graham Corporation serves petrochemical refining markets, some food services. We’re a complete corporation from engineering all the way through manufacturing. I feel that you’re never going to get any rewards without effort and change is part of those rewards. You have to be willing to make those changes and pursue them. When we bought the Pipeworks we found out that we like the Bernard guns that came with it. The ease of operation, durability, the change overs and we just felt it was a good fit for the plant as a whole. We thought it would be to our advantage to have just one consumable for all our guns.” Watch to learn more about what Graham Corporation has to say about Bernard MIG guns and consumables. Employees at Jolson Welding work on tough structural pile and pipe welding projects and have come to rely on the durability and comfort of the Bernard Dura-Flux self-shielded flux-cored gun to increase productivity. “I like how the handle is shaped and how your hand fits around it. The gun contours your hand and glove, not cutting off the circulation to your fingers because of how they’re offset. The trigger guard isn’t too big to where your hands are hitting it or grabbing on everything. It’s just big enough to keep the trigger from getting hit and out of your way. This Bernard Dura-Flux gun’s got what they call a micro switch in it, so it’s a sealed switch. These are bulletproof. If you’re out in a dirty environment where laying on the ground all the time like ours it never gets any dirt or dust in it. It continues to work perfect all the time. The Centerfire is really nice because you don’t need tools to get the tip off.” Owner of Jolson Welding, Bob Jolson, talks about how Bernard’s Q-Gun MIG gun has increased his productivity and reduced his back pain while welding large diameter pipe. “You can go online and build a gun and they’ll send it right to you with everything you want to your spec. I’ve got a flexible gooseneck. They make them in a six and eight inch size, which is really a major asset because we get into lots of tight places and tight spots” Bob Jolson, owner of Jolson Welding, talks about why he swears by the Bernard® Dura-Flux™ self-shielded flux-cored gun. “I like running the long neck, so all the heat’s away from me. You know the durability we haven’t really, really, really beat one up bad enough to have to retire it yet. Lots of accelerate through the Dura-Flux we have no feeding problems. It’s just a good all-around gun.”
Bob Jolson, owner of Jolson Welding, talks about the benefits of Bernard’s Centerfire consumables – “we get probably three to four more times their lifetimes on the tip and they basically they don’t wear out. I used to carry a baggie of them in my pocket. Now the same one goes to the washing machine two or three days in a row. I still get it back and keep it in my pocket” Owner of Jolson Welding, Bob Jolson, talks about the advantages of Bernard products in his welding operation. He discusses his favorite part of the Bernard Q-Gun™ semi-automatic air-cooled MIG gun. “When I got with Bernard products and had this Q-gun made up for me with a flexible gooseneck. Which is really a major asset because we get into lots of tight places and tight spots. It’s really nice.” Bob’s love for the Dura-Flux™ self-shielded flux-cored gun is very simple. “The reason why I like the Dura-Flux gun most important of all, I think, is the micro switch inside the trigger. I also like the little trigger guard here. My competitor’s gun they had this big old thing heat shield and basically it’s always in your way” “As far as the tip wear goes like I was saying we get probably three to four more times or lifetimes on the tip and they basically they don’t wear out” Centerfire™ consumables has helped gain productivity for Jolson Welding. Tico Terminal Trucks & Trailers improved productivity and reduced welding costs using Bernard Q-Gun™ semi-automatic air-cooled MIG guns and Centerfire™ consumables. “We had an opportunity through one of our suppliers to test the Bernard Centerfire tip system and initially I provided that system to my best welder in house I felt like he would be the one person that could tell me honestly if it was a valuable product to us or not. Within two weeks his only response was – “I love it”. Weld quality has improved and it is simply because we get a more accurate flow of gas on the weld. The huge advantage to the Centerfire tip system is the fact that it’s not a threaded in tip. So when you do in fact arc out a tip, it doesn’t require a lot of time to remove the tip put in a new one. They’re also much more durable, so that happens a lot less.”Save Money, Improve Performance with Bernard Replaceable MIG Gun Parts | Customer Testimonial
