Miller Electric Mfg. Co. (www.millerwelds.com) and MIG welding gun specialist Bernard (www.bernardwelds.com) have integrated Bernard Q-Guns on most of Miller's industrial wire feeder products and bundled MIG welding systems. The guns include Bernard's Centerfire welding consumables.

The companies said their partnership brings Bernard products to all Miller customers and distributor partners, effective immediately. Key patents include a feeder-gun connection and a contact tip/nozzle design that the companies said enhance welding performance while lowering total welding cost.
