Bernard's new W-Series water-cooled MIG guns and consumables increase versatility and productivity, improve weld quality

Bernard introduces its customizable W™-series water-cooled MIG guns and new water-cooled Centerfire™ consumables to meet the wide ranging needs of high-amperage, water-cooled MIG applications. Featuring exceptional durability and hundreds of possible configurations, W-Guns offer users their choice of neck style, cable length, handle style, consumables and direct plugs.

W-Guns feature a more durable and easily replaced power pin housing with an improved coolant hose strain relief. The dedicated side-entry coolant channel and strain relief greatly reduce the potential for premature gun failure due to kinked coolant lines.  Plus, a highly efficient coolant channel keeps the consumables cool under high-amperage, high-heat applications.

W-Guns are rated to 600-amps at 100 percent duty cycle and offer direct plug connections to all major wire feeder brands, including Miller, Lincoln, Tweco 4 and Euro.

Bernard's new water-cooled Centerfire consumables offer all of the durability, weld quality and productivity benefits of their air-cooled counterparts.  Water-cooled Centerfire consumables come with either a 1/8- or 1/4-inch contact tip recess and feature a unique spatter shield that improves shielding gas flow to better protect the weld puddle and keeps spatter from clogging the shielding gas diffuser.
