MIG Guns with AccuLock Consumables



Designed with operator comfort in mind, these MIG guns feature a durable and ergonomic handle with a rubber overmolding for improved grip, while the addition of a ball and socket handle swivel reduces fatigue.

Miller Electric Mfg. LLC offers its MDX Series MIG guns. "Designed with operator comfort in mind, these MIG guns feature a durable and ergonomic handle with a rubber overmolding for improved grip, while the addition of a ball and socket handle swivel reduces fatigue," said a company spokesperson.

AccuLock Series consumables add to the performance of the gun, providing an enhanced wire feed path. The front-loading liner locks in place (no need for set screws) and aligns concentrically with both the contact tip and power pin to optimize wire feeding. Liner trimming, with no measuring required, reduces burnbacks, bird-nesting and erratic arc caused by liners that are too short, minimizing downtime for troubleshooting or rework.

The MDX Series includes three models: MDX-100, MDX-250 and MDX-250 EZ-Select. These guns are all compatible with Miller AccuLock MDX Series consumables, and the MDX-250 and MDX-250 EZ-Select guns are also compatible with Bernard AccuLock S consumables. Both AccuLock Series feature tapered connections between the contact tip, gas diffuser and neck to maximize electrical conductivity for longer product life. Coarse thread on the contact tips speeds replacement by mating easily with the gas diffuser and lessens the risk of cross-threading.

"Bernard AccuLock S Consumables are an excellent upgrade to increase durability and consumable life when welding with MDX-250 or MDX-250 EZ-Select guns in heavier industrial environments," said the spokesperson. They also simplify consumable inventory for operations using a mix of Miller MDX and Bernard MIG Guns.

Miller offers conversion parts to retrofit older style Miller MIGmatic M-Series guns with AccuLock MDX and AccuLock S consumables. M-Series consumables will not be compatible on the new MDX Series MIG guns.

The MDX-100 is rated at 100 amps. It pairs with Millermatic 141, Millermatic 211, Multimatic 215 and Multimatic 220 AC/DC.

The MDX-250 contains increased copper in the cable, is pulse welding capable and can be used with CV waveforms. It is compatible with Millermatic 212 Auto-Set, Millermatic 252, Millermatic 255, Multimatic 200 and Multimatic 255.

The MDX-250 EZ-Select gun features trigger program select that allows the user to select up to four weld programs by tapping the MIG gun trigger, instead of walking to the machine to make changes. To help avoid errors, the gun features LED lights on the handle to indicate the weld program that is currently selected. It works with Millermatic 255 and Multimatic 255.
