CTR-001 Auto Contact Tip Reformer Specifications


The CTC-001 automatic contact tip changer handles the complete replacement cycle in approximately 40 seconds. This contact tip changer works with various tip styles and integrates seamlessly into existing robotic welding setups. Rather than scheduling production stops for maintenance, operators can continue welding while the system manages tip changes automatically.


With automated monitoring, when to change contact tips becomes a non-issue. The system tracks tip condition and initiates replacement based on predetermined cycles or quality parameters. This prevents the welding defects that occur with worn tips while maintaining consistent arc performance.

Component changes allow the machine to adapt to different tip styles.  Our arc welding equipment manufacturing team provides guidance on setup modifications for specific applications.

Automotive Welding Equipment Applications


Major automotive manufacturers like Toyota, Subaru, and Nissan use robotic welding extensively throughout their production lines. Contact tip replacement represents a significant ongoing expense, especially at high-volume facilities running multiple shifts.


The auto contact tip reformer addresses this directly. Instead of disposing of worn tips, production teams can batch-process them during maintenance windows. Reformed tips perform like new ones but cost a fraction of replacements.


Welding supply distributors such as Air Welding Gas benefit too. They can offer customers reformed tips as cost-effective alternatives, expanding their product range while maintaining quality standards.

Arc Welding Equipment for Multiple Industries


Beyond automotive applications, our robotic welding manufacturer solutions serve diverse markets. Aerospace companies rely on precise, consistent welds for critical components. Construction equipment manufacturers need dependable performance across extended production runs. Custom fabrication shops want to control consumable costs without sacrificing quality.


Any operation using automated welding processes can implement contact tip reformation. The technology works with standard tip designs across different robotic welding equipment brands.

Auto Contact Tip Reformer Operation and Benefits


Loading used tips is straightforward—dump up to 150 pieces into the machine at once. Add more during processing if needed. The system runs continuously until the batch completes.


Quality control happens automatically. Tips that reform properly get ejected through the bottom drawer, while those that don't meet specifications get sorted into a separate output. This ensures only acceptable tips reach your production line.


Cost savings accumulate quickly, too: reformed tips cost significantly less than new ones, and waste disposal expenses decrease. Many operations see payback within months of installation.
