403-20-15MM - Tregaskiss Tough Lock Robotic Teach Tip 15mm Stickout

Tregaskiss 403-20-15MM Teach Tip: Technical Overview

The Tregaskiss 403-20-15MM Teach Tip is a specialized maintenance and setup tool engineered for use with Tregaskiss robotic MIG guns equipped with the TOUGH LOCK™ consumable platform. This component is critical for maintaining the strict tolerances required in modern robotic welding applications. By replacing the actual contact tip with this calibrated dummy tip, operators can verify and program the Tool Center Point (TCP) without the variables introduced by welding wire curvature or inconsistent cut lengths.

Technically, the 403-20-15MM is manufactured to simulate a specific 15mm (0.591 inch) wire stickout. This dimension is crucial for maintaining the correct Contact Tip to Work Distance (CTWD) in production, which directly influences voltage, amperage, and weld penetration profiles. The teach tip features the same dual-taper interface as standard Tough Lock contact tips, ensuring it seats firmly and concentrically within the retaining head. This concentricity is vital; even a millimeter of deviation at the tip can result in a weld seam being missed entirely by the robot.

Constructed from durable alloy, the teach tip is designed to resist deformation if it accidentally contacts a fixture or workpiece during the teaching process. Unlike a piece of welding wire which would bend and require resetting, the teach tip remains rigid, preserving the integrity of the coordinate data being entered into the robot controller. It is an essential component for any facility utilizing Tregaskiss robotic torches, ensuring that the transition from programming to production is seamless and error-free.
