12401316 - Tweco REL24CT50 Robotic Water-Cooled MIG Nozzle, 1/2" Bore (Pack of 2)

High-Performance Robotic Welding Consumables

In the realm of automated manufacturing, consistency and thermal management are paramount. The Tweco 1240-1316 (REL24CT50) is a premium water-cooled robotic nozzle designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-volume production environments. Engineered by Tweco, a leader in arc welding products, this nozzle is specifically constructed to integrate with water-cooled robotic MIG guns, providing superior heat dissipation that extends the lifespan of both the nozzle and the contact tip within.

The "REL" designation and water-cooled design indicate a component built for endurance. Unlike standard air-cooled nozzles that may overheat and accumulate spatter rapidly during long weld cycles, this water-cooled variant maintains a lower operating temperature. This thermal efficiency not only prevents the adhesion of molten spatter—thereby reducing the frequency of cleaning cycles—but also ensures consistent gas flow dynamics. The 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) bore orifice is an industry-standard size, offering a balanced shielding gas envelope suitable for a wide range of wire diameters and transfer modes, from short-circuit to spray transfer.

Procurement managers and facility engineers will appreciate the packaging efficiency of this product, which is supplied as a pack of 2. This ensures that maintenance teams always have a backup on hand, minimizing potential line stoppages. The nozzle features a conical taper (CT), a geometry favored in robotics for its ability to access tight joints and its compatibility with automated reaming stations. By choosing genuine Tweco consumables, you ensure dimensional accuracy and material quality that aligns with the original specifications of your robotic welding equipment.

Investing in high-quality water-cooled consumables like the 1240-1316 is a strategic decision to optimize Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). By reducing the frequency of nozzle changes and improving arc stability through better thermal regulation, this product directly contributes to higher throughput and lower operational costs in automated welding cells.
