      Bernard® BTB MIG Guns with select Miller® packages will begin shipping on March 7, 2023 with a version of AccuLock that consists of a diffuser compatible with rear load liners you are used to using, plus the added benefit of standard AccuLock S contact tips and nozzles.

      AccuLock™ can transform the way businesses manage their MIG welding gun consumables — helping to optimize productivity, operating costs and welder confidence.

      • Less tip changes
      • Less welding troubleshooting
      • More beads worth bragging about

      You will benefit from:

      Longer Tip Life

      • Reduced contact tip replacement frequency
      • Contact tips are 60% buried within the diffuser for less exposure to the heat of the weld
      • Mating tapers on both tip-to-diffuser and diffuser-to-neck connection for good electrical conductivity
      • Shielding-gas cools contact tip tail
      • Less rework and ease of maintenance/replacement

      Less Rework and Ease of Maintenance

      • Coarse thread contact tips speed tip replacement
      • Steel retaining ring on diffuser helps keep threaded nozzle in place during use/cleaning

      Upgrade to a Front Load Liner to receive all the benefits above plus:

      • Error-proof liner replacement, every time, with no measuring required!
      • Flawless wire feed path — AccuLock S front-load liners are locked and concentrically aligned to both the contact tip and the power pin, optimizing wire feeding, which eliminates welding liner misalignment gaps from your troubleshooting list

      Why offer rear load liners with AccuLock S consumables?

      We’re offering rear load liners with AccuLock S consumables to make it as easy as possible to convert existing fleets of BTB MIG Guns from Centerfire™ or TOUGH LOCK® to AccuLock S consumables. To convert your current guns from Centerfire or TOUGH LOCK to AccuLock consumables, simply swap out the nozzle, diffuser and contact tip. You can continue to use your existing rear load liner without retrimming. Later, when you want the additional benefits offered by the front load liner, you can upgrade your existing guns by swapping out the diffuser, liner and power pin cap or you can begin purchasing new guns with the full AccuLock S system.

      Click here to download the AccuLock S Consumables Conversion Guide for Miller Packages. This detailed guide contains all the part numbers needed to convert your existing guns to AccuLock or to re-order the AccuLock consumables that came with your Miller package.

                              Tough yet flexible!

                              The Common Consumables Platform™ means less consumable inventory is needed to maximize flexibility and productivity across a variety of MIG welding applications.

                              Durable, long-lasting Bernard® and Tregaskiss® consumables are designed for maximum flexibility and compatibility between a variety of consumable parts, gun models, and welding applications.

                              AccuLock™ Consumables

                              Bernard AccuLock™ S and Tregaskiss AccuLock R consumables share a common contact tip. If you have a combination of Tregaskiss robotic, fixed automatic and Bernard semi-automatic MIG guns in your facility, you’ll benefit from the reduced costs and simplified inventory of a Common Consumable Platform.

                                Double-Life MIG Gun System

                                Double the life of your BTB MIG Gun!

                                Our built-to-order MIG guns keep on welding in the harshest and most abusive environments. The innovative Double-life MIG gun system* from Bernard allows you to extend the life of your BTB semi-automatic air-cooled MIG gun equipped with a T Series or C Series straight handle.

                                How It Works

                                BTB MIG guns with T Series and C Series straight handles have identical front and back handles and internal connections. Once the front end of the cable becomes worn, simply flip-flop the neck and trigger from the front end of the gun with the power pin on the back.

                                Arrows indicate that front and back end components of a straight handle BTB MIG gun model can be swapped to take advantage of the double-life MIG gun system

                                This results in a newer front handle to work with and the worn handle and cable moves to the feeder end of the MIG gun, extending the life of your gun.


                                *The Double-life MIG gun system is not compatible with B Series curved, B Series small curved, O Series curved, O Series small curved, or T Series small straight handle styles, or to any handle style if the MIG gun is equipped with Bernard®, OXO™ or Euro power pin options.

                                  Dual Taper Technology

                                  We’ve added a second taper at the rear of our TOUGH LOCK® retaining heads feature a second taper at the rear, so there is one taper for the contact tip connection and a second for the neck.

                                  Dual Taper Technology

                                  Dual taper technology creates a more secure seat, preventing the contact tip and retaining head from loosening due to vibration.

                                  Dual taper technology:

                                  • Locks your MIG gun from contact tip to the neck
                                  • Keeps your consumables running cooler
                                  • Improves electrical conductivity
                                  • Decreases your downtime
