What you need to know for the use of power contact tube, contact nozzle, contact tube & Co.
The contact tip – also known as contact nozzle or power contact tube – is the smallest but most important wear part on a MIG/MAG torch, and it makes no difference whether it is a hand-held torch, an automatic torch or a robotic welding torch. The contact tip has a very considerable influence on the quality of the MIG/MAG welding process and the service life or machine availability in the welding process.
Hardly any wear part is subject to deterioration and is as close to the welding process as the contact tip. For this reason, we dedicate our own blog to this relatively small part.
