The Tweco Centrovac 260C Fume Extraction MIG Gun is a premier solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial welding environments where air quality and operator safety are paramount. Engineered by Tweco, a leader in welding gun technology, this 260-amp air-cooled gun integrates high-efficiency fume extraction directly into the welding torch. By capturing welding fumes, smoke, and particulate matter right at the arc, the Centrovac system significantly reduces the welder's exposure to hazardous airborne contaminants, including hexavalent chromium and manganese, helping facilities comply with OSHA and other safety regulations.
This specific model (SKU: 10261113) comes equipped with a 15-foot cable and a Miller-style back end connector, ensuring seamless compatibility with a wide range of Miller wire feeders and power sources. The direct-connect design eliminates the need for complex adapters, allowing for quick setup and integration into existing production lines. The gun utilizes a coaxial cable design that combines the power cable, gas hose, and vacuum hose into a single, durable assembly, reducing clutter and improving maneuverability compared to add-on vacuum kits.
Maintenance and consumable management are simplified as the Centrovac 260C utilizes standard Tweco consumables, known for their reliability and widespread availability. The front-end parts, including contact tips, diffusers, and nozzles, are designed to withstand high heat while maintaining excellent electrical conductivity. The extraction shroud is adjustable, allowing operators to fine-tune the vacuum flow to capture fumes effectively without disturbing the shielding gas envelope, ensuring weld quality is maintained alongside safety.
Ideal for heavy fabrication, automotive manufacturing, and structural steel work, the Tweco Centrovac 260C represents a smart investment in both productivity and occupational health. Its robust construction ensures a long service life, while the effective source capture technology reduces the load on ambient air filtration systems, potentially lowering overall facility energy costs.
