Planning for Success

"The Q-Gun has held up and the cable has not pulled out of the feeder. That means our welding operators spend more time welding and less time waiting for a MIG gun to be fixed by maintenance."
— Tom Landhl, Maintenance Supervisor, Ridg-U-Rak

Many companies anticipate breakdowns by purchasing additional backup equipment. However, planning for a failure is less productive than preventing the failure in the first place. For example, when a gun fails, it can take 15 minutes or more to notify maintenance personnel and get a new gun installed.

At Ridg-U-Rak, one of the nation's largest manufacturers of pallet storage racks, 15 minutes can have a direct impact on a welder’s output. In order to maximize its welders’ productivity and address MIG welding downtime, Ridg-U-Rak converted it's MIG welders to the Bernard Q-Gun™.

Previously, Ridg-U-Rak welders relied heavily on the maintenance department for support. If a gun misfed, needed a new trigger or power cable assembly, the welder called maintenance, which resulted in downtime. To prevent this recurring scenario, Ken Dougan, branch manager of General Welding, implemented a trial period of Bernard Q200 and Q300 MIG guns with 15-foot power cables. The results were dramatic.

Read how Ridg-U-Rak was able to overcome their MIG gun maintenance headaches by switching to the Bernard Q-Gun.

Q-Gun Line Expanded to Include OXO Features

Choices. We want you to have as many choices as possible in finding the perfect MIG gun for your welding needs. With this guiding principle in mind, we have expanded our Configurator to make our Q-Guns compatible with the features and accessories found on our OXO brand of MIG guns.

Whereas the steel "Monocoil" cable, smaller and more curved handles and Quik Tip™ consumables were previously incompatible with Bernard Q-Guns, this integration allows you to customize your gun even further by mixing and matching accessories from the two product lines.

To simplify maintenance and replacement parts ordering, all Q-Guns and newly introduced S-Guns are manufactured with standard Bernard liners and necks and are shipped with the quick-changing Bernard Jump Liners for optional installation.
