    Overview

    MA1 is designed to keep maintenance simple and costs low, with minimal replacement parts and an easy-to-service design. AccuLock™ R consumables eliminate cross-threading and extend tip life, and in most cases can replace your current tip and diffuser with no impact to Tool Center Point. QUICK LOAD® liners load from the front in less than half the time of rear-load liners. Configure the gun with cable lengths from 3′ to 15′, a range of neck lengths and angles, and power pins for most major wire feeders, or add I.C.E.™ technology to circulate water at the nozzle for cooler-running, longer-lasting consumables.
