OVERVIEW

Maximize Uptime with Tweco 16RZ45 Contact Tips

Keep your robotic welding cells running smoothly with genuine Tweco 16RZ45 Contact Tips. In the world of automated welding, downtime is the enemy. Every time a robot stops for a tip change, production halts and profitability drops. That's why Tweco engineered the 16RZ series—a heavy-duty contact tip built to last longer and perform better under pressure.

These tips are crafted from a durable Copper-Zirconium alloy that resists heat buildup and wear far better than standard copper tips. This means you get more arc-on time and fewer interruptions. Designed for 0.045" wire, the 16RZ45 ensures a smooth, consistent feed and reliable electrical contact, resulting in cleaner welds and less troubleshooting. Whether you are welding heavy structural steel or precision automotive parts, these tips deliver the consistency your robots need.

Sold in a convenient package of 25, these contact tips are an essential stock item for any fabrication shop utilizing Tweco robotic torches. Don't compromise on your consumables; choose the tips designed to handle the heat. Upgrade to the 16RZ45 and experience the difference in longevity and performance.
