Tweco 1160-1732 Eliminator Contact Tip 0.045 Inch

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1732 is a patented Eliminator Series robotics contact tip designed for MIG welding applications requiring consistent, high-cycle performance. Built to accommodate 0.045-inch wire, this contact tip is engineered specifically for use with Eliminator style MIG guns rated from 250 to 650 amps. At 1.5 inches in length, it delivers extended service life compared to standard contact tips, reducing changeover frequency in demanding production and robotic welding environments. Licensed welders and robotic welding technicians working in fabrication, manufacturing, and automated welding cells will find this tip well suited to high-throughput operations.

This contact tip is intended for use in robotic and semi-automatic MIG welding setups where the Eliminator gun platform is the specified equipment. Its extended-life construction makes it a practical choice for production floors running continuous or high-duty-cycle welding processes. The 0.045-inch bore size targets common solid wire and flux-cored wire diameters used in structural and heavy fabrication work. Minimum order quantity is 25 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is a routine consumable task performed by qualified welders or robotic welding maintenance technicians. Always de-energize the welding power source and allow the gun neck to cool before removing a worn tip. Use the appropriate tip wrench or pliers to avoid cross-threading when seating the replacement tip. Inspect the gas diffuser and nozzle for wear or spatter buildup during each tip change.
