Tregaskiss
Tregaskiss, founded 1967 in Windsor, Canada, manufactures robotic MIG torches (TOUGH GUN), wire feeders, reamers, and consumables; part of ITW Welding.
Tregaskiss, headquartered in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, was founded in 1967 by William Tregaskiss, a toolmaker from England. The company introduced its first semiautomatic GMAW (MIG) gun in 1972 and has since become an industry leader in robotic MIG welding guns and peripherals. In 2007, Tregaskiss was acquired by ITW Canada Inc. and now operates as part of ITW Welding, a division of Illinois Tool Works (ITW), alongside sister brands Bernard, Miller, and Hobart Filler Metals.
Tregaskiss's flagship product line is the TOUGH GUN series of robotic air-cooled MIG torches, including the TA3 and CA3 models engineered for high-volume, multi-shift production. The TOUGH GUN CA3 is specifically designed for collaborative robot (cobot) welding applications. The company also produces the Atlas robotic ThruArm air-cooled MIG torch, which routes the torch cable through the robot arm for reduced cable interference.
Peripheral products include the TT4 reamer robotic nozzle cleaning station (available in analog and Ethernet models), wire cutters, anti-spatter liquid and sprayers, welding consumables (nozzles, MIG welding tips), and clutches for crash protection. Tregaskiss products are sold globally through distributors and are specified for automotive, heavy equipment, and general manufacturing robotic welding cells. The company's products are compatible with major robot brands including Fanuc, ABB, KUKA, and Yaskawa Motoman.
