KP2920-1 - Lincoln Electric Thru-Arm Robot Collision Disk

Critical Protection for Automated Welding Systems

In the high-precision world of automated manufacturing, the integrity of your robotic equipment is paramount. The Lincoln Electric KP2920-1 Thru-Arm Break-Away Disk serves as an essential safeguard for your robotic welding cells. Engineered specifically for Thru-Arm robotic configurations—where the cabling assembly passes through the center of the robot's axis—this disk acts as a specialized mounting interface between the robot wrist and the welding torch.

The primary function of the KP2920-1 is to provide a mechanical "fuse" within the system. In the event of a programming error, part misalignment, or unexpected obstruction within the robot's work envelope, collisions can occur. Without a protective interface, the kinetic energy of such a crash is transferred directly to the delicate servo motors and gears of the robot arm or the precision components of the welding torch. This break-away disk is designed to absorb these effects, deforming or separating to dissipate the energy before it causes structural damage to the capital equipment.

Implementing the KP2920-1 into your robotic setup is a proactive maintenance strategy. By utilizing a replaceable interface disk, facility managers and welding engineers can transform a potentially catastrophic crash into a minor maintenance event. Instead of facing weeks of downtime for robot arm repairs or replacement, the system can often be restored to operational status simply by replacing the sacrificial disk and recalibrating the Tool Center Point (TCP). This component is manufactured to Lincoln Electric's exacting standards, ensuring that it maintains rigid stability during normal welding operations while offering reliable release characteristics during impact events.

For industries relying on continuous uptime and precision repeatability, the KP2920-1 is not just a spare part; it is an insurance policy for your production line. It ensures that the sophisticated Thru-Arm cabling and torch positioning systems remain protected, maintaining the longevity and accuracy of your automated welding investment.
