The Lincoln Electric Magnum PRO Robotic 550 Welding Gun (K3359-1660ID) is a premium air-cooled MIG gun solution engineered specifically for the ABB IRB 1660ID robotic arm. Designed for high-volume industrial manufacturing environments, this Ready-Pak© system integrates seamlessly with hollow-wrist robots, utilizing a thru-arm cable design that significantly reduces cable wear, snagging, and downtime associated with external cable management. By routing the power cable assembly through the robot arm itself, the system achieves greater accessibility in tight fixtures and improves the overall longevity of the equipment.
At the core of the Magnum PRO series is a commitment to reducing operational costs through extended consumable life. This 550A model utilizes Lincoln's proprietary Copper Plus® contact tips, which feature a larger mass and diameter than standard tips. This design improves heat dissipation and keeps the tip cooler, preventing wire burn-back and extending the lifespan of the expendables. The gun is rated for a 100% duty cycle at 550 amps using mixed gas, making it capable of handling the most demanding continuous welding applications without overheating.
One of the standout features of this system is the Single Tool Center Point (TCP). This engineering achievement ensures that the TCP remains constant whether you are using 350A or 550A expendables. This means operators can switch between different amperage consumables to suit varying job requirements without the time-consuming need to reprogram the robot's trajectory. Furthermore, the HexConnect™ Gun Bushing technology replaces traditional rotating connections with a fixed, hex-shaped interface. This ensures full-face electrical contact, eliminating the micro-arcing and connection degradation often found in pin-style or rotating connectors, thereby maintaining stable arc performance over time.
This K3359-1660ID Ready-Pak is a turnkey solution that includes everything needed to outfit your ABB IRB 1660ID robot. It comes pre-assembled with a gun tube, liner, diffuser, nozzle, and contact tip, along with the specific mounting bracketry required for secure installation. The optimized mounting bracket is designed to maximize the robot's work envelope, providing ample clearance for complex welds while maintaining rigid stability.
