11601750 - Tweco Velocity2 VTM-23 Contact Tip .023 (10-Pack)

Technical Overview of Tweco Velocity2 VTM-23 Contact Tips

The Tweco Velocity2 VTM-23 Contact Tip (SKU: 11601750) is a specialized consumable component engineered for use with Tweco Spray Master MIG guns equipped with the Velocity2 consumable platform. Designed specifically for 0.023-inch (0.6 mm) welding wire, these tips are categorized under the VTM series, indicating their suitability for medium-duty welding applications with an output rating of up to 250 Amps.

Technically, the Velocity2 system represents a departure from conventional threaded contact tips. The VTM-23 utilizes a threadless, drop-in engagement mechanism that secures the tip within the gas diffuser. This design maximizes the electrical surface contact area, thereby reducing electrical resistance and heat buildup at the connection point. The result is improved arc stability and consistent welding performance. Furthermore, the internal geometry of the tip is machined to align the liner precisely with the wire path, minimizing friction and feeding issues commonly associated with misalignment.

Each package contains 10 genuine Tweco contact tips. The tips are manufactured from high-grade copper alloy to withstand the thermal stresses of welding while maintaining excellent conductivity. The design allows the operator to rotate the tip within the nozzle assembly, presenting fresh contact surfaces to the wire and effectively extending the lifespan of each consumable before replacement is required. These tips are designed to function seamlessly with VNM series nozzles.
