0700300674 - ESAB RT 82W Robotic Torch Neck 22 Degree Water Cooled

Optimized Performance for Automated Welding Cells

The ESAB Robo Swan Neck, RT 82W, 22° (SKU: 0700300674) is a critical component designed for high-performance robotic welding environments. In the realm of industrial automation, the reliability of the welding torch assembly is paramount to maintaining cycle times and ensuring consistent weld quality. This specific swan neck is engineered for the RT 82W series of robotic torches, a line known for its durability and precision in heavy-duty manufacturing applications.

Featuring a 22-degree bend angle, this neck provides a specific geometry often required to access joints that standard straight or 45-degree necks cannot reach effectively without compromising the robot's arm positioning. The geometry is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure that the Tool Center Point (TCP) remains consistent after replacement. This is vital for robotic programming, as it minimizes the need for extensive reprogramming or touch-ups when swapping out maintenance parts, thereby keeping production lines moving efficiently.

Thermal management is a key feature of the RT 82W system. This swan neck utilizes water cooling technology to dissipate the intense heat generated during high-amperage, high-duty-cycle welding processes. Effective cooling extends the life of consumables (contact tips and nozzles) and prevents the neck itself from overheating, which can lead to structural failure or conductivity issues. For procurement managers and facility maintenance teams, investing in genuine ESAB replacement parts like this swan neck ensures compatibility, longevity, and the preservation of the manufacturer's performance specifications.

Constructed from high-conductivity materials and robust alloys, the ESAB Robo Swan Neck withstands the mechanical stresses associated with rapid robotic movements and potential collisions. It is an essential spare part for facilities utilizing ESAB automation solutions, ensuring that downtime is minimized and weld integrity is maintained across thousands of cycles.
