OVERVIEW

Maximize Automation Efficiency with Tweco 16RZ-35 Tips

In the world of robotic welding, downtime is the enemy. Every time a robot stops for a contact tip change, production halts and efficiency drops. The Tweco 16RZ-35 Robotic Contact Tip is built to keep your automation running longer and more reliably. Designed specifically for 0.035-inch wire applications, these heavy-duty tips are the workhorses of the Tweco 16 Series line, offering the durability needed to withstand the relentless heat and continuous arc-on time typical of robotic cells.

The primary advantage of the 16RZ-35 is its ability to maintain a consistent Tool Center Point (TCP). In robotic welding, if the contact tip wears unevenly or "keyholes" (opens up into an oval shape), the wire position shifts. This shift can cause the robot to miss the weld joint, resulting in costly rework or scrapped parts. Tweco's precision manufacturing ensures that the wire exits the tip in the exact same location for the life of the consumable, ensuring your weld seams remain dead-center every time.

Furthermore, the superior heat dissipation properties of the 16 Series design prevent the tip from overheating, which is a common cause of wire burn-back and micro-arcing inside the tip. By keeping the tip cooler, the 16RZ-35 ensures smooth wire feeding and a stable arc, reducing spatter and cleanup time. Whether you are welding automotive components, heavy equipment, or general fabrication parts, the reliability of your contact tip directly impacts your bottom line.

This pack of 25 tips ensures you have the stock needed to support multi-shift operations. Don't let inferior consumables compromise your expensive automation investment. Switch to Tweco 16RZ-35 tips for a high-performance solution that delivers consistent arc starts, stable welding parameters, and the longevity required to maximize your robotic cell's output.

FAQ

The 16RZ-35 is designed for use with 0.035-inch (0.9 mm) welding wire.

The 'RZ' designation typically indicates the tip is optimized for robotic applications, often implying tighter tolerances or specific heavy-duty geometry compared to standard tips.

Yes, while designed for robotics, it fits any manual Tweco MIG gun that accepts standard 16 Series contact tips (typically 300A to 400A guns).

These contact tips feature a standard 3/8"-24 thread.

This product is a package containing 25 contact tips.

Robotic tips are often manufactured to tighter tolerances to maintain the Tool Center Point (TCP) accuracy required for automated welding paths.

This belongs to the Tweco 16 Series family of consumables.
