30501112 - Tweco TAM504 Automatic MIG Gun, 500A, 4ft, 1/16 Wire

High-Performance Tweco TAM504-116 for Robotic Welding

Maximize the efficiency of your welding automation with the Tweco TAM504-116 MIG Gun. Engineered for professional fabricators and industrial manufacturers, this automatic torch is built to withstand the high-duty cycles associated with robotic welding. The "TAM" designation stands for Tweco Automatic MIG, a series that has earned a reputation for ruggedness and superior arc characteristics. With a part number of 3050-1112, this unit is a direct solution for setups requiring a short, manageable cable and high-current capacity.

Optimized for Heavy-Duty Applications

The TAM504-116 is designed to handle 1/16-inch (1.6mm) welding wire, positioning it as a powerhouse for heavy plate welding and structural steel applications. The 4-foot cable is the ideal length for mounting on robot wrists or fixed automation gantries, minimizing cable whip and ensuring that the wire drive system operates at peak efficiency. The internal liner and cable construction are optimized to reduce drag, which is critical for maintaining consistent wire stick-out and arc voltage in automated processes.

Air-Cooled Simplicity

While water-cooled torches have their place, the air-cooled architecture of the TAM504-116 offers distinct advantages in terms of simplicity and ruggedness. There are no coolant lines to leak or pumps to fail, making this gun an incredibly reliable workhorse for shop floors that demand uptime. The heavy copper construction and specialized handle design dissipate heat effectively, allowing the gun to operate at high amperages (approx. 500A) while maintaining structural integrity.

Tweco Consumable Ecosystem

Welders and maintenance technicians appreciate the TAM504 series for its use of industry-standard Tweco consumables. The front-end parts—nozzles, contact tips, and gas diffusers—are designed for quick changeovers and secure seating. This ensures that the Tool Center Point (TCP) remains consistent, which is vital for robotic programming accuracy. Invest in the Tweco TAM504-116 to ensure your automated welding operations achieve the highest levels of productivity and weld quality.
