Victor Technologies launched the Tweco Classic Number 4 MIG welding gun. The Classic is an enhancement of the Tweco Number 4, one of the most popular guns in the world often referred to as, “the MIG Gun that Built America.”

Enhancements to the Tweco Classic include higher impact resistant materials, an interlocking handle design for superior toughness, an angled trigger for a more comfortable pull and refined, modernized lines. The Tweco Classic 4 is an air-cooled MIG gun with a rating of 400 amps at 60% duty cycle.

“The Tweco Classic Series will carry on the tradition of the Tweco No. Series platform, which has stood the test of time since its introduction at the AWS Welding Show in 1969,” says David Wilton, Vice President, Brand Management - Welding Products, Victor Technologies. “Millions of welders will be familiar with the way the paddle-style handle of a Tweco Classic gun fits into their hand and enables them to manipulate the arc. With these upgrades, they’ll be able to enjoy its heavy-duty, industrial-grade performance for years to come.”

The Tweco Classic 4 is the first in a new series of air-cooled guns that will roll out later in 2013. The other products are: the Tweco Classic 2 (rated at 200 amps @ 60% duty cycle), the Tweco Classic 3 (300 amps @ 60% duty cycle), the Tweco Classic 5 (500 amps @ 60% duty cycle) and the Tweco Classic 6 (600 amps @ 60% duty cycle).
