    Overview

    When your robotic cell is welding thick plate, laying long beads, or running demanding duty cycles, heat is the enemy of productivity. The Tregaskiss® 600 amp robotic water-cooled MIG gun is built to handle it, delivering 600 amps at a 60% duty cycle with mixed gases for your most demanding MIG (GMAW) applications.

    Cooling is built in from end to end. A water-cooled power cable works with a neck featuring four internal cooling channels to pull heat away from the front end, keeping consumables cooler and extending their usable life. That means fewer change-outs and more time on the weld.

    The gun is built to last, with a stainless steel docking body that won’t deteriorate over the serviceable life of the gun. A durable conduit swivels independently and rigidly supports the liner for smooth, consistent wire feeding, even as the robot moves through complex paths.

    If nozzle is 0, contact tip and wire size must also be 0. The mounting disc, arm, and clutch are ordered separately (Steps 2–4 on the spec sheet).

    Complete your setup
    After configuring your gun, add the mounting hardware for your robot. Clutch setups need all three parts below; solid mount setups skip the clutch.

    Step 2: Insulating/Transition Disc
    Choose the disc that matches your robot model.

    • Clutch setups use AS-10X series discs
    • Solid mount setups use 59D series discs
      See spec sheet for the full robot-to-disc list.

    Step 3: Mounting Arm

    Part Mount Neck TCP
    AS-71-000-22 Clutch 22° 350 mm
    AS-71-001-22 Clutch 22° 400 mm
    AS-71-00-180 Clutch 180° 350 mm
    AS-72-000-22 Solid 22° 350 mm
    AS-72-001-22 Solid 22° 400 mm

    Step 4: Safety Clutch (clutch setups only)
    AS-708 safety clutch


    Clutch or solid mount?
    A clutch mount triggers an emergency stop if the robot collides with something; a solid mount doesn’t. Many robots have built-in collision detection, but a clutch adds an extra layer of protection.

    One thing to note: the arms show a 180° neck only with the clutch mount. There’s no solid mount arm for 180° listed, so if a customer picks the 180° neck (code C), they’ll need a clutch setup. Worth confirming that with Tregaskiss, and calling it out on the page if it’s correct.
