One Tough System

TOUGH LOCK™ Contact Tip System reduces downtime and costs

To reduce downtime and lower costs for consumable changeover, Tregaskiss offers its patented TOUGH LOCK™ Contact Tip System.

Tregaskiss’ TOUGH LOCK™ Contact Tip System reduces downtime by extending tip life and providing consistent welding performance.

To reduce downtime and lower costs for consumable changeover, Tregaskiss offers its patented TOUGH LOCK™ Contact Tip System.

Compatible with both semi-automatic and robotic TOUGH GUN™ MIG Guns, the TOUGH LOCK system acts as a Common Consumable Platform to help minimize inventory for companies that manage both manual and automated welding operations.

According to the company, the TOUGH LOCK Contact Tips feature:

  • Precision-machining to ensure exact tolerances and a superior bore finish that supports consistent welding quality and performance.
  • A dual-lead thread design.
  • Ability for tips to be rotated 180 degrees to create a new wear position and extend tip life. 
  • Operation at cooler temperatures, reducing wear and minimizing downtime for changeover.
  • An accompanying TOUGH LOCK Retaining Head featuring a tapered design that
  • locks the contact tip securely in place and keeps it centered to ensure positive electrical conductivity, good heat dissipation and consistent weld quality.
  • Multiple styles of contact tips to help further customize the TOUGH LOCK System, including SURESTART™ Tips, which reduce arc start failures up to 50 percent, heavy duty, extra heavy duty, standard duty and heavy duty extended life (chrome-zirconium).
