11401432 - Tweco 14RZ-45 Robotic Contact Tip 0.045 Pack of 25

Precision and Durability for Robotic Welding

In the world of robotic welding, consistency is king. Your robot repeats the same path thousands of times a day, but if your contact tip wears out prematurely, that path drifts, and your weld quality suffers. The Tweco 14RZ-45 Contact Tip (Stock No. 1140-1432) is built to solve this problem. Designed specifically for 0.045" (1.2mm) wire, these tips are the heart of your arc transfer system, ensuring that the current is delivered smoothly to the wire for a stable, spatter-free arc.

Standard contact tips often struggle with the high duty cycles of automation. As they heat up, the copper softens, and the wire wears a groove into the bore. This causes the wire to exit the tip at an unpredictable angle, ruining your Tool Center Point (TCP) alignment. The 14RZ-45 is engineered to resist this wear, maintaining a tight, concentric bore for longer periods. This means fewer tip changes per shift, less scrap, and more arc-on time. The 1/4"-28 UNF threads ensure a secure, electrically sound connection to your gas diffuser, preventing micro-arcing inside the gun that can fuse components together.

This pack of 25 tips is an essential consumable for any shop running Tweco-equipped robotic cells. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, having a fresh, high-quality contact tip is the cheapest insurance policy against bad welds. Don't let a worn tip compromise your automation investment; choose Tweco 14RZ-45 for reliable performance shift after shift.
