KP1986-1 - Lincoln Electric Tiny Twinarc Outgoing Guide Tube KP1986-1

Precision Wire Feeding for Tiny Twinarc Systems

The Lincoln Electric KP1986-1 Guide Tube Outgoing Tiny Twinarc is a specialized component engineered to support the high-performance demands of Lincoln's Tiny Twinarc welding systems. In automated and semi-automated welding environments where deposition rates and efficiency are paramount, the integrity of the wire feeding mechanism is critical. This outgoing guide tube serves as the final alignment stage as the wire exits the drive roll assembly, ensuring that both wires in the Twinarc process are directed accurately into the gun or torch assembly.

Manufactured to Lincoln Electric's exacting OEM standards, the KP1986-1 is constructed from durable materials designed to withstand the constant friction and abrasion caused by moving welding wire. In dual-wire setups, misalignment can lead to tangling, bird-nesting, or inconsistent electrical contact, all of which compromise weld quality and increase downtime. By replacing worn guide tubes with genuine Lincoln parts, operators maintain the precise geometry required for the Tiny Twinarc process, ensuring optimal current transfer and bead profile.

This component is specifically identified as the "outgoing" tube, distinguishing it from incoming guides. Its internal dimensions are calibrated to accommodate the specific wire diameters used in Tiny Twinarc applications, providing just enough clearance for smooth movement while restricting lateral play. Regular inspection and replacement of the KP1986-1 are recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule for heavy-duty industrial welding operations utilizing Lincoln wire feeders.
