TOUGH LOCK™ HDP Contact Tips
Regain as much as 95% of lost productivity for contact tip changes
With the new TOUGH LOCK HDP Contact Tip, you can now enjoy all the benefits of pulse welding plus dramatically extended contact tip life for increased production throughput.
PROBLEM
Adoption of pulse welding waveforms can DOUBLE contact tip replacement frequency and related downtime when using copper or chrome zirconium contact tips
One contact tip change can create 10-15 minutes of downtime on average (based on user feedback)
SOLUTION
TOUGH LOCK HDP Contact Tips last 6-10x longer than copper and chrome zirconium tips
Users have gone from changing contact tips 2-4x each shift to 1x after 3 shifts or longer
Compatible with TOUGH LOCK Retaining Heads and Nozzles with no change to TCP
Take YOUR production uptime and efficiency to a new high with TOUGH LOCK HDP Contact Tips
Users of pulse welding typically see a 2X increase in contact tip replacement frequency and related downtime when using copper and chrome zirconium tips. Faster contact tip deterioration is caused by peaks in pulse waveforms where energy/heat is 5X greater than CV welding.
Engineered with a special alloy that has superior resistance to arc erosion and wear, these tips last 6-10X longer than copper and chrome zirconium tips. Additional benefits include increased arc stability for improved weld quality and reduced spatter. (Please see DATA tab)
