KP3355-180 - Lincoln KP3355-180 Robotic Straight Torch Neck

Precision and Reliability for Automated Welding

In the high-stakes world of industrial automation, the integrity of your welding torch components is paramount to maintaining production schedules and quality standards. The Lincoln Electric KP3355-180 180° Thru-Arm Gooseneck is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern robotic welding cells. Designed specifically for "Thru-Arm" robotic configurations—where the cable assembly passes through the hollow wrist of the robot arm—this gooseneck ensures a streamlined profile that minimizes cable stress and maximizes the robot's range of motion.

This component is not merely a replacement part; it is a critical element in maintaining the Tool Center Point (TCP). In automated processes, repeatability is everything. The KP3355-180 is manufactured with strict tolerances to ensure that when a neck is swapped out for maintenance, the contact tip position remains consistent, reducing the need for extensive reprogramming or touch-ups. This focus on precision directly translates to reduced downtime and higher throughput for your manufacturing operations.

Furthermore, the compatibility with Binzel-style systems offers significant operational flexibility. Many facilities utilize a mix of equipment, and having a high-quality Lincoln Electric component that interfaces seamlessly with Binzel-style front-end consumables allows for standardized inventory and simplified supply chain management. Whether you are welding automotive frames, heavy machinery, or precision components, this 180-degree straight neck provides the vertical access and stability required for flawless weld deposition.

Investing in genuine or high-specification replacement necks like the KP3355-180 protects your capital equipment. A degraded or bent neck can lead to poor arc starts, erratic wire feeding, and increased spatter, all of which drive up post-weld cleaning costs. By choosing this robust gooseneck, you ensure that your robotic welding investment continues to deliver the efficiency and ROI expected of top-tier automation systems.
