The Lincoln Electric KP2919-22 is a specialized 22-degree Thru-Arm Gooseneck designed for professional robotic MIG/MAG welding applications. For welding engineers and robot programmers, the geometry of the torch neck is paramount. This 22-degree bend provides a specific tool center point (TCP) orientation that is often required for accessing difficult joints or maintaining optimal torch angles in complex fixtures. Unlike standard manual guns, this thru-arm design is engineered to mount directly into hollow-wrist robots, streamlining the cable management and reducing the risk of cable fatigue or snagging during rapid reorientation movements.
Technical Construction and Compatibility
This gun tube follows the Binzel style architecture, which is renowned for its robust cooling capabilities and consumable commonality. The neck is constructed to handle the thermal stresses of high-duty cycle automated welding. It provides a stable conductive path for the welding current and a smooth conduit for the wire liner, ensuring consistent arc starting and stable wire feeding—two factors that are critical for defect-free robotic welds. The 22-degree angle is particularly useful in applications where a straighter approach is needed compared to standard 45-degree necks, allowing for better clearance in deep grooves or tight corners.
Installation and Maintenance
Please note that the KP2919-22 is supplied as the bare gooseneck tube. It does not include the thru-arm mounting bracket, insulating liner, or front-end consumables (diffuser, nozzle, contact tip). This allows you to customize the setup based on your specific wire diameter and gas flow requirements. When installing, ensure that the liner is trimmed correctly to the new neck length to prevent wire chatter. This component is an ideal solution for repairing crashed torches or reconfiguring a robot cell for a new part that requires a different approach angle.
