K3193-2 - Lincoln Electric Robotic Gun Tube Alignment Fixture

Restore TCP Accuracy with the Lincoln K3193-2

For robotic welding technicians and maintenance personnel, maintaining the Tool Center Point (TCP) is critical for process stability. The Lincoln Electric K3193-2 Heavy Duty Robotic Gun Tube Straightener is the definitive tool for correcting gun tube geometry following a robot crash or collision. Designed with the practical needs of the welding shop in mind, this fixture provides the leverage and precision required to bend a distorted gun tube back into its correct alignment specifications.

This tool is explicitly designed to service the popular KP3354-XX and KP3355-XX series gun tubes found on Magnum PRO robotic guns. When a tube is bent, manual straightening without a fixture is often a guessing game that results in frustration and continued programming errors. The K3193-2 eliminates the guesswork. It serves as both a gauge to check the extent of the misalignment and a fixture to apply the necessary corrective force. Its heavy-duty construction ensures it remains rigid during use, allowing you to apply the force needed to bend steel or aluminum tubes without damaging the tool itself.

Integrating this straightener into your maintenance routine ensures that minor accidents don't turn into major production halts. A bent neck can cause wire feeding issues, poor gas coverage, and wandering arcs. By utilizing the K3193-2, you ensure that the contact tip is positioned exactly where the robot program expects it to be. This is crucial for applications requiring high repeatability and tight tolerances. Whether you are running a single cell or a large fleet of welding robots, this tool is a standard requirement for maintaining the mechanical integrity of your torch assemblies.
