Description
COX M380 Cartridge Gun is a manual applicator for 380 mL coaxial two-component cartridges in a 1:1 ratio configuration. The tool advances both cartridge components together so they enter the attached static mixer at the designed proportion. Its manual drive makes it practical for bench work, field installation, repairs, and production stations that do not require pneumatic or cordless power.
COX M380 Cartridge Gun Coaxial Cartridge Dispensing
A coaxial cartridge places one component around the other within a cylindrical package. That geometry requires a matching plunger arrangement in the applicator. The M380 supports the cartridge body and applies synchronized pressure to the two chambers. The mixed material then travels through a compatible static mixer before reaching the bond area.
This configuration is commonly used with two-part epoxies, urethanes, acrylics, sealants, and repair compounds packaged in the correct 380 mL coaxial format. Cartridge volume alone is not enough to establish fit. Confirm flange design, outlet style, ratio, plunger geometry, and mixer connection before loading material.
Manual Drive and Serviceability
The published tool description identifies an 18:1 mechanical advantage, a wear-compensating device, a sintered-steel catch plate, and replaceable operating components. Those features support controlled bead placement and routine service over repeated cartridge changes. A higher-thrust M380X variant is available for applications that need additional force, but the correct model depends on material viscosity, temperature, mixer restriction, and bead size.
Load the cartridge squarely, install the specified mixer, and advance the plungers until both components reach the outlet. Purge the initial material according to the adhesive instructions to confirm a uniform blend. During use, maintain a steady trigger rhythm and watch the mixed bead for changes in color or texture. Stop if trigger force rises sharply because a blocked mixer, cold material, cured residue, or a mis-seated cartridge can overload the applicator.

Clean the push surfaces and nose area after use, inspect the catch plate and rods, and keep cured material away from moving parts. Store the tool without pressure on a loaded cartridge. Matching the applicator, cartridge, and mixer as a complete system reduces wasted material and helps maintain the designed mix ratio.
