MIG welding is a highly efficient and widely used metal fabrication technique that has revolutionized the way we join and fabricate metallic structures. However, the quality and durability of MIG welding largely depend on the competence of the welding equipment and auxiliary accessories. One of the most critical components of MIG welders is the gun liner, a crucial element that holds and guides the welding wire from the wire feeder to the welding torch. In this blog post, we will explore MIG welding gun liners, their types, and how Tregaskiss and Bernard products are revolutionizing the welding industry.
MIG Liners
A Mig liner is a long, thin wire that guides the welding wire from the feed-roller assembly to the contact tip. The liner forms a protective conduit that prevents the welding wire from kinking or bending while in transit, ensuring it smoothly reaches the torch's tip. A MIG liner comprises two main parts- an outer aluminum jacket that provides a protective layer and an inner wire that provides guide and support to the welding wire.
Types of MIG Liners
There are two main types of MIG liners- Rear-loading and Front-loading. Rear-loading liners are available in two sub-types; finesse liners and standard liners. The finesse liner is ideal for welding thin metals, providing a smooth, kink-free wire feed. The Standard liner works well with thicker metals and delivers excellent wire-feed and arc stability. Rear-loading liners are widely used in traditional welding applications and mostly operate with velcro or crimp-type holding mechanisms.
Front-loading liners, on the other hand, are relatively new in the market and are gaining popularity among welders for their innovative features. They are designed to eliminate the issue of rear-loading liners' cumbersome installation process, making them more user-friendly and efficient. Front-loading liners are ideal for welding applications where speed, agility, and quick changeover are critical, such as high-volume manufacturing environments.
