PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT – LSR+ Unicables

PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT –
LSR+ Unicables with SmoothTurn Technology

October 11, 2022

For use with TOUGH GUN® TA3 ThruArm® series robotic MIG guns, LSR+ (Low-Stress Robotic) unicables incorporate new SmoothTurn™ technology to maximize production uptime.


Conventional style unicables typically come with a connection that limits rotational capabilities and produces torsional stress in the cable. Unlike conventional unicables, the LSR+ incorporates a rotating power connection that reduces this stress during rotation. Additionally, a protective external conduit contributes to cable longevity by shielding components from harsh welding environments.

Stress Relieving Features

  • SmoothTurn Technology reduces frictional forces on internal components increasing overall cable life up to 300%
  • Enhanced electrical connections provide a more stable arc, resulting in less spatter and longer cable life
  • Unique internal components improve support and bend radius of the cable during heavy robot articulation

                    As of December 31, 2017, legacy TOUGH GUN® ThruArm® G1 series product for ABB® IRB1600ID configurations will be discontinued, and effective immediately, lead time for part number 508-200ABB will be 15 days.

                    • 508-200ABB
                    • W508-200ABB
                    • 508-200ABB-6
                    • 58SA004

                    Our legacy TOUGH GUN ThruArm G1 series was replaced by our TOUGH GUN TA3 series in 2014, but although A58G1S connector housing is the replacement for 508-200ABB connector housing, this unit will change tool center point (TCP) by approximately 1.428″.

                    For those customers using a 508-200ABB with a 405-22QC neck, we will be able to develop a special 22-degree neck for use with the A58G1S module to match their existing TCP. However, due to a length restriction in manufacturing, we will not be able to match TCP for those customers using a 508-200ABB with a 405-45QC neck. In this case, reprogramming will be necessary when switching to an A58G1S.

                    Additionally, when transitioning from the 508-200ABB to the A58G1S, the 58SA004 LSR Unicable will need to be replaced with the 58SA024 LSR Unicable, as the cable to torch connection is also different.

                      PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT –
                      Nozzle Detection Option for TOUGH GUN TT3 and TT3E Reamer Robotic Nozzle Cleaning Stations

                      April 28, 2017

                      An improvement has been made to the nozzle detect option for our TOUGH GUN® TT3 reamer. This same option is also now available on our TOUGH GUN TT3E reamer. New Nozzle Detection

                      This new nozzle detect uses a proximity sensor mounted on the side of the reamer that can be used independently of the ream cycle and is compatible with any nozzle size. The robot positions the front end of the MIG gun close to the sensor to detect the presence of the nozzle. If the nozzle is present, a signal is then sent back to the robot controller or PLC.

                      Affected Part Numbers

                      • TT-2333 + TT-2334 – OLD nozzle detect for TOUGH GUN TT3 reamer (analog model); available only for 1.062″ nozzle O.D.
                      • TT3E-2344 – NEW nozzle detect for TOUGH GUN TT3 and TT3E reamer; available for all nozzle O.D. sizes
                      • RS-500-5 – 4m cable with 3 poles (M12 connector); required for analog model only and only when selecting Nozzle Detection option
                      • TT3E-2343 – Splitter; required for Ethernet model only and only when selecting both the nozzle detect and the wire cutter options together

                            PRODUCT UPDATE – TOUGH GUN TA3 Torch Solutions for Yaskawa Motoman Robots

                            PRODUCT UPDATE —
                            Tregaskiss TOUGH GUN TA3 Torch Solutions for Yaskawa Motoman Robots

                            December 18, 2019

                            Overview

                            Tregaskiss manufactures TOUGH GUN® TA3 through-arm welding torches for many Yaskawa® Motoman® robot models including but not limited to:

                            • Current models: AR/MA1440, MH12, AR/MA2010, AR/MA3120, AR1730, MH24
                            • Legacy models: MA/EA1400, MA/EA1900, MA3100

                            On the current robot models listed above, the spacers and through-arm cables on a Tregaskiss® gun may originate from either Tregaskiss or from Yaskawa Motoman. It is important to note that the spacers and cables from Tregaskiss have significantly different dimensions than these same items from Yaskawa Motoman. This means that they are NOT interchangeable. Ordering the wrong replacement spacer and/or cable for an existing installation will significantly impact Tool Center Point (TCP) and cable life – please see Configuration Comparison Chart below for both solid mount and clutch mount setups with a short 45-degree neck for reference.

                            Details

                            For each model above, when a TOUGH GUN TA3 MIG gun is configured through Tregaskiss, the complete torch solution is Tregaskiss branded and includes: consumables, neck, torch, cable and power pin. For AR/MA1440, MH12, AR/MA2010, AR/MA3120, AR1730, MH24 models, the system also includes a Tregaskiss-specific aluminum spacer which allows us to bury the cable termination into the torch and away from the articulation on axis 5.

                            When Yaskawa Motoman integrates a welding solution with Tregaskiss product, a Motoman through-arm cable replaces the Tregaskiss through-arm cable for all models listed above (consumables, neck, torch and power pin remain Tregaskiss branded). For AR/MA1440, MH12, AR/MA2010, AR/MA3120, AR1730, MH24 models, the system also includes a Motoman-specific plastic torch spacer which allows us to bury the cable termination into the torch and away from the articulation on axis 5. This Motoman spacer is shorter than the Tregaskiss spacer and as a result, the Motoman cable for this setup is also shorter than the Tregaskiss-specific setup.

                            A hybrid Tregaskiss/Motoman setup consists of a Tregaskiss torch and consumables with a Motoman spacer and cable. The spacer will be approximately 2-3/8″ in length. The cable will have a loose spring from front to back.

                            Improper Setup – Negative impact on TCP and/or cable life

                            Installing a Tregaskiss cable on a system with a plastic spacer will result in a cable that is too long. Although this cable can be physically installed, this setup will result in premature cable failure.

                            Installing a Motoman cable on a system with an aluminum spacer will result in a cable that is too short. This cable will not be long enough to plug the power pin into the wire feeder
