238CA10B-A - American Weldquip 260A Aluminum MIG Gun - 10ft Euro Connect

Industrial Grade Aluminum Welding Solution

The American Weldquip 260 Amp MIG Gun is a premium fabrication tool designed specifically to address the unique challenges of welding aluminum. In industrial environments where downtime equals lost revenue, having a torch that feeds soft aluminum wire reliably is critical. This assembly comes pre-configured with a 10-foot cable and a Euro-style back-end connection, making it instantly compatible with a wide range of European and adapted North American wire feeders.

One of the primary failure points in aluminum MIG welding is the wire feeding path. Standard steel liners create too much friction and can shave soft aluminum wire, leading to clogged liners and erratic arcs. This American Weldquip model solves that problem by including a high-quality polymer (Teflon-style) liner. This low-friction conduit ensures that 0.035" and 0.045" aluminum wires slide smoothly from the feeder to the contact tip, significantly reducing the risk of bird-nesting at the drive rolls.

Constructed with the durability American Weldquip is known for, the torch handle is built to withstand impact and heat. The 260-amp rating provides ample power for structural aluminum work, trailer fabrication, and general repairs. The air-cooled design is efficient and lightweight, minimizing operator fatigue without the need for complex water-cooling systems. For shops looking to dedicate a machine to aluminum or upgrade their existing setup, this gun offers a plug-and-play solution that prioritizes feedability and arc stability.

Key Technical Benefits

• Optimized Feeding: Specialized liner reduces friction for soft wires.
• Universal Fit: Euro connection allows use on machines from various manufacturers (Esab, Fronius, Miller/Lincoln with adapters).
• Thermal Management: High-grade copper components ensure the torch runs cooler for longer.
