How to Regain up to 95 Percent of Lost Productivity for Tip Changes
TOUGH LOCK HDP Contact Tips from Tregaskiss last six times to ten times longer than copper and chrome zirconium tips that often need to be replaced twice as frequently during pulsed MIG welding due to its high heat input.

Tregaskiss (Windsor, ON) offers TOUGH LOCKTM HDP Contact Tips that can significantly extend contact tip life in pulsed MIG welding applications for increased production throughput. Precision engineered with a special alloy that provides a higher resistance to wear and arc erosion, TOUGH LOCK HDP Contact Tips allow operations to regain as much as 95 percent of the productivity lost during typical contact tip changeovers. They do this by lasting six times to ten times longer than copper and chrome zirconium tips that often need to be replaced twice as frequently during pulsed MIG welding due to its high heat input. These new contact tips also feature a tight bore tolerance, provide increased arc stability to improve weld quality and reduce spatter, along with its associated cleanup.
They are available in packages of 5, 25 or 100 and can be used with .035 in, .040 in and .045 in solid copper-coated wires. They are compatible with TOUGH LOCK Consumables, including nozzles and retaining heads, and require no change to Tool Center Point (TCP). These contact tips also benefit from compatibility with the TOUGH GUN Reamer Nozzle Cleaning Station that helps extend the life of robotic MIG guns and consumables by automatically removing spatter.
