Tweco 1160-1193 Mig Contact Tip 0.052 in 1.5 in

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1193 is a robotic tapered MIG contact tip designed for heavy-duty welding applications. It accommodates 0.052-inch wire and features a 0.058-inch nominal bore with a 0.375-inch OD and an M8 x 1.25-6g thread size. Machined from chrome zirconium 1815 alloy copper tubing, it delivers a consistent, smooth inside diameter surface held to a tolerance of plus or minus 0.003 inches. This tip is harder than standard copper alloy contact tips, offering greater wear resistance and extended tip life. Licensed welding professionals and robotic MIG technicians working in demanding industrial environments will find this tip rated for use up to 600 amps. Sold individually.

This contact tip is suited for heavy-duty and robotic MIG welding operations where consistent wire feed and reliable electrical contact are critical. Its threaded style ensures proper engagement with a gas diffuser when installed to the MIG gun. The tip includes flat sections to aid in installation and removal with standard tooling. Each tip is marked with the part number and wire diameter for quick identification on busy shop floors or automated welding cells. The 1.5-inch length fits standard MIG gun configurations used in both production welding and automated robotic systems rated up to 600 A.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement contact tip for MIG welding guns and robotic welding torches requiring a 0.052-inch wire, M8 x 1.25-6g threaded tip rated up to 600 amps.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified welding technician or robotic welding system integrator. Always power down the welding machine and allow the gun neck and tip to cool completely before servicing the contact tip. Use appropriate pliers or a contact tip wrench on the flat sections to seat the tip firmly against the gas diffuser without overtightening. Follow the welding equipment manufacturer's guidelines and applicable AWS safety standards during maintenance.
