OVERVIEW

Tweco 3040-1103: High-Performance Automatic MIG Gun

Upgrade your automated welding systems with the Tweco TAM 406-3545 MIG Gun, a robust air-cooled torch designed for precision and longevity. Identified by the part number 3040-1103, this gun is a staple in the automation industry, offering a perfect balance of power and manageability. The "406" designation indicates a heavy-duty 400 Amp rating combined with a 6-foot cable length, while the "3545" suffix confirms its readiness for .035-inch to .045-inch welding wires right out of the box.

The TAM series is engineered to deliver consistent electrical conductivity and thermal management. The air-cooled cable assembly is lightweight yet durable, reducing the load on robotic arms and automation gantries. This specific model is equipped with a Tweco-style rear connection, ensuring a secure and highly conductive interface with your wire feeder. The front end utilizes industry-standard Tweco consumables, including the heavy-duty 14-series contact tips and 24-series nozzles, which are celebrated for their long service life and arc stability.

In automated welding, downtime is costly. The Tweco TAM 406-3545 addresses this with a design that prioritizes ease of service. The nozzle and contact tip can be changed in seconds, and the liner replacement process is straightforward, ensuring your production line gets back up and running quickly. The straight barrel design is typical for machine mounting, allowing for precise torch alignment and access to joints. For fabricators seeking a reliable, high-amperage air-cooled solution for their automatic welding cells, this Tweco gun is the professional's choice.

FAQ

The gun is rated for 400 Amps, typically at a 60% duty cycle using CO2 gas.

The cable length is 6 feet, which is standard for many robotic and automatic setups to minimize wire feeding issues.

It is set up for .035" to .045" (0.9mm - 1.2mm) welding wire.

This is an air-cooled MIG gun, meaning it relies on the shielding gas and ambient air for cooling.

While technically possible to hold, it is designed for automatic or robotic mounting and lacks the ergonomic handle and trigger setup of a manual gun.

It uses standard Tweco consumables, such as 14 Series contact tips and 24 Series nozzles.

Yes, it comes pre-installed with a liner suitable for the rated wire size range.

TAM stands for Tweco Automatic MIG, indicating the series is designed for automation.
