Tregaskiss® Torch Maintenance Module
The Tregaskiss® Torch Maintenance Module (TMM) monitors your Atlas™ torch cable and sends proactive alerts before it needs service, so you can plan downtime instead of reacting to it.
- Alerts before cable service is needed
- Plan maintenance around production
- Integrates with Atlas™ and your robot
Overview
Proactive cable monitoring for maximum uptime.
The Tregaskiss® Torch Maintenance Module (TMM) is a smart add-on for the Tregaskiss® Atlas™ robotic ThruArm MIG torch that takes the guesswork out of cable maintenance. Instead of relying on reactive repairs or unexpected failures, the TMM monitors key performance indicators and alerts you when your torch cable is nearing its maintenance threshold. That lets you schedule service during planned downtime, reducing unplanned interruptions, extending cable life, and keeping weld quality consistent. The TMM integrates seamlessly with the Atlas torch’s built-in cable life sensor and your existing robotic system, for smarter, more predictable welding operations.

FAQ
1. What is the TMM
The TMM is an accessory for the Atlas Robotic ThruArm MIG Torch that monitors the health of the torch cable and alerts the user when maintenance will soon be needed.
2. Why was the TMM developed
It was developed to help users plan cable maintenance ahead of time and reduce unexpected downtime that stops production.
3. What problem does the TMM solve
It gives early warning of cable wear so maintenance can be scheduled before a cable fails during production.
4. Who is a good fit for the TMM
Good candidates include high-volume welding operations, facilities with frequent cable failures, companies with limited maintenance manpower, and any Atlas torch user wanting higher uptime.
5. What do the indicator lights mean
Green means normal operation.
Red means the cable needs maintenance soon.
Amber means cable monitoring has stopped and the cable or connections should be checked.
See TMM Technical Insert.
6. What does the TMM monitor
The TMM monitors cable condition only. It does not monitor other torch parts or welding parameters.
7. Where should the TMM be mounted
It should be mounted where the LEDs are easy to see, such as near the robot feeder, the robot base, on the exterior of the cell, or near the PLC cabinet.
See TMM Technical Insert.
8. How do you mount the TMM
Use the mounting tabs and secure the module with screws or zip ties. A mounting pattern is included.
See TMM Technical Insert.
9. How does the TMM connect to the Atlas torch
A shielded M12 cordset connects the TMM to the M12 connection on the Atlas LSR+ Unicable.
See TMM Technical Insert.
10. How does the TMM connect to power and the PLC
A second M12 cordset connects to the PLC port on the TMM and is wired to 24 VDC power and optional PLC signal points.
See TMM Technical Insert.
11. What cables are required
Shielded cables are required. Available lengths are 3 meters and 10 meters.
See TMM Technical Insert.
12. What is the difference between TMM and TMM-C
TMM includes only the module.
TMM-C includes the module plus the 3 meter and 10 meter shielded cables.
13. Is the TMM compatible with all Atlas torches
Yes. The TMM works with all Atlas LSR+ Unicables and can be reused when a cable is replaced.
14. Does the TMM improve torch performance
It helps keep the cable in good condition, which supports consistent TCP and reduces downtime.
15. Can non-Atlas torches use the TMM
No. Only the Atlas torch with the Atlas LSR+ Unicable can connect to the TMM.
16. Can I add a TMM after I already purchased my Atlas torch
Yes. All Atlas torches come set up to accept the TMM. It can be added at any time.
See Atlas Owners Manual.
17. Does the Atlas torch come TMM-ready
Yes. Every Atlas LSR+ Unicable includes the required connection for the TMM.
See Atlas Owners Manual.
18. Can my TA3 torch with an LSR cable connect to the TMM
No. The TMM requires the Atlas LSR+ Unicable system. TA3 torches are not compatible.
19. Can I configure my Atlas torch with a TMM
No. The TMM is sold separately, but your Atlas torch comes TMM-ready.
