Auto Contact Tip Changer Solutions
from Tipman Corporation
Production downtime costs money. Every minute spent manually changing contact tips represents lost output and reduced efficiency. Tipman Corporation's Auto Contact Tip Changer eliminates this problem by automating the entire replacement process without stopping your production line.
Tipman specializes in arc welding equipment development. Established in 2023, our Kentucky facility brings decades of Japanese precision engineering to North American markets. We understand what robotic welding equipment users need: reliability, speed, and minimal disruption.
Once a new contact tip is inserted, it is screwed on, rotating until the specified torque is reached. 10 contact tips can be loaded at one time.
The nozzle is reattached and rotated until the specified torque is reached. This entire process is automated, so you can rest assured that the tip and nozzle are correctly tightened.
