Every robot programmer and welding operator knows the sinking feeling of watching a robot crash. Beyond the immediate concern for the equipment, the primary headache is the loss of the Tool Center Point (TCP). If the gun tube is bent even a fraction of an inch, the wire won't hit the joint correctly, and your program is useless until the geometry is restored. The Lincoln Electric K3193-1 Robotic Gun Tube Straightener is the tool you need in your box to handle these situations fast.
Designed specifically for Magnum PRO Robotic Guns, this straightener allows you to leverage a bent tube back into alignment. It works with both External Dress and Thru-Arm models, making it a universal fix for Lincoln's primary robotic torch lines. Instead of scrambling to find a new gun tube or trying to bend it back by eye (which rarely works well), this tool provides the leverage and form needed to correct the bend properly.
When a gun tube is bent, the arc start point shifts. If you simply replace the tube, you might still have to touch up points if the new tube has a slightly different tolerance or if the mount shifted. However, straightening the existing tube can often get you back to the original TCP faster, saving you from having to touch up the entire program. This tool is all about getting the cell running green again. It is robust, simple to use, and saves perfectly good gun tubes from the scrap bin.
If you are responsible for keeping robotic cells running, this tool is mandatory. It turns a potential shift-ending event into a quick repair job. While it can't fix a tube that is kinked, cracked, or crushed, it is perfect for the common "glancing blow" or hard collision that knocks the neck out of true. Keep your Magnum PRO guns accurate and your production numbers up with the K3193-1.
