Ideal for demanding and harsh construction, shipbuilding and heavy manufacturing applications, this gun can be configured with multiple cable lengths, necks, contact tip insulators and direct plugs to meet the needs of nearly any flux-cored application.
To meet the demanding needs and harsh environments of construction, shipbuilding and heavy manufacturing applications, Bernard Welding Equipment (Beecher, IL) offers its self-shielded flux-cored gun, the Dura-Flux™, which can be configured with multiple cable lengths, necks, contact tip insulators and direct plugs to meet the needs of nearly any flux-cored application.
To increase operator comfort, Dura-Flux guns use a non-metallic trigger that absorbs less heat than metal triggers. The trigger is also made with a sealed microswitch, which keeps out dust and dirt, to provide a long work life. Welders also have the option between a small trigger guard that allows excellent joint access or a large heat shield that deflects radiant heat from the welder’s hand and arm.
The Dura-Flux is rated to 350 amps at 60 percent duty cycle and can handle higher current loads at reduced duty cycles. It accepts flux-cored wire up to 3/32 in and is equipped with a heavy-duty monocoil power cable and with Centerfire™ contact tips, which last up to three times longer than other brands.
The Dura-Flux gun also features interchangeable power pins and trigger leads for compatibility with Miller, Tweco, Lincoln and Euro-style products, along with power pin liners that are easily changed without tools to simplify maintenance. A variety of jacketed and armored Dura-Flux necks are also available.
