Ninetimes www.ninetimes.com (707) 494-3883 GMA Gun Liner System Reduces Downtime The Quick Load™ Liner AutoLength ™ system minimizes downtime and prevents quality problems associated with incorrect GMA gun liner length. It can be used with guns equipped with these liners, specifically the Bernard™ T-Gun™ semiautomatic gun and Tregaskiss™ robotic GMA guns. Also, it helps reduce wire-feeding problems and decreases meltbacks, along with premature contact tip failure and wear associated with misalignment between the liner and contact tip. A spring-loaded module housed inside the power pin applies constant pressure on the liner, keeping it seated properly in the retaining head at all times. The system allows for up to 1 in. forgiveness and accommodates liner movement during welding.
