Bernard to Showcase MIG Welding Products and Resources at 2006 Fabtech International/AWS Welding Show
BEECHER, Ill. August 3, 2006-To address the welding needs of the fabricating and manufacturing industry, Bernard will showcase its Q-Gun, and Centerfire' consumables, along with its new Solutions Guide and educational MIG gun DVD in Booth # 23045 at the Fabtech International/AWS Welding Show in Atlanta, October 31 to November 2.
Bernard Q-Gun and Centerfire Consumables Because 85 percent of all welding costs are labor related, the Bernard Q-Gun assists in quick component changeovers and allows for longer periods of arc-on time. The Bernard Q-Gun's multiple handle and trigger options, amperage configurations and simplified consumables, help reduce welding downtime and associated labor costs. To increase durability and flexibility on demanding MIG welding applications, the Q-Gun also includes an upgraded back-end assembly.
Bernard's revolutionary Centerfire series gas diffusers, contact tips and nozzles bring superior performance and reduced downtime to most MIG welding applications. Centerfire series contact tips "Drop-In" the gas diffuser and lock in place by hand tightening the nozzle. These threadless "Drop-In" contact tips do not require tools to change, are quicker to replace after burn back and, when coupled with the appropriate nozzle, stay fixed either flush with the end of the nozzle, at 1/8" stickout, 1/8" recess or 1/4" recess. Their large diameter tip bases and tapered seats increase electrical conductivity and heat transfer to increase weld consistency and improve product durability.
