\t\t\t\tPackaged with Miller SuitCase 12RC and X-TREME 12VS wire feeders comes standard with Bernard\u2019s Centerfire contact tips<\/p>\n
BEECHER, Ill., August 20, 2007\u2014To meet the demanding needs and harsh environments of construction, shipbuilding, heavy manufacturing and rental applications, Bernard introduces its first ever self-shielded flux-cored gun, the Dura-Flux\u2122.<\/p>\n
To increase operator comfort, Dura-Flux guns feature 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 will also appreciate the smaller trigger guard, which improves maneuverability compared to guns with larger heat shields.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe small trigger guard doesn\u2019t obstruct our access to narrow access joints the way the larger heat shields do,\u201d says Daniel Stinson, Ironworkers Local 492, Nashville, Tenn. \u201cWe usually end up removing the heat shields so that they don\u2019t get in the way while welding joints without much room to maneuver, such as the bottom flanges on structural jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Dura-Flux is rated to 350 amps at 100 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 Bernard\u2019s Centerfire\u2122 contact tips, which last up to three times longer than other brands.
\nThe Dura-Flux gun also features interchangeable power pins and trigger leads for compatibility with both Miller and Lincoln products, along with power pin liners that are easily changed without tools to simplify maintenance.<\/p>\n
The Dura-Flux will be packaged with Miller SuitCase\u2122 12RC and SuitCase X-TREME\u2122 12VS wire feeders for a limited time beginning in August. The gun\u2019s inclusion comes at no additional charge, a $400 value.
\nThe Dura-Flux gun shipped with Miller SuitCase feeders is configured to meet the precise application requirements of most users. A 15-foot gun with a 6-inch, 60-degree neck is standard. In applications that require a shorter gun, Bernard\u2019s gun exchange program allows welders to exchange the unused Dura-Flux gun shipped with Miller SuitCase feeders for a 10-foot gun.<\/p>\n
A variety of jacketed and armored Dura-Flux necks are also available.<\/p>\n
