KP3194-2 - Fanuc 50 iC Robot Collision Interface Disk

Protect Your Automation Investment with Lincoln Electric

In the high-stakes world of automated manufacturing, the integrity of your robotic equipment is paramount. The Lincoln Electric KP3194-2 External Dress Break-Away Disk is an essential component designed specifically for the Fanuc 50 iC robotic system. This specialized mounting interface serves as the first line of defense for your automation cell, ensuring that minor accidents do not turn into major capital losses.

Robotic welding cells operate at high speeds and with incredible precision, but the risk of collision within the work envelope—whether due to programming errors, fixture misalignment, or part variations—is an operational reality. The KP3194-2 is engineered to act as a sacrificial link or mechanical fuse. In the event of a crash or excessive force application, this disk is designed to absorb the impact energy. By taking the brunt of the force, it prevents the shock from transferring directly to the delicate and expensive servo motors and gearing within the robot arm itself.

This unit is specifically configured for External Dress packages. External dress systems, where the cabling is routed outside the robot arm, require robust mounting solutions that can handle the dynamic motion of the robot while maintaining a secure connection to the torch. The KP3194-2 provides this secure interface while maintaining its safety function. It is a replaceable component, meaning that after a significant collision, the disk can be swapped out relatively quickly, restoring the robot to operational status without the need for extensive arm repairs or recalibration of the internal axis mechanisms.

Investing in genuine Lincoln Electric parts for your Fanuc integration ensures compatibility and performance. The KP3194-2 is manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure it mates perfectly with the Fanuc 50 iC wrist and the corresponding torch mount, maintaining the Tool Center Point (TCP) accuracy required for high-quality welding.
