KP3355-22 - Lincoln Electric KP3355-22 Robotic Gooseneck 22 Degree

Lincoln KP3355-22 22° Thru-Arm Gooseneck for Robotic Welding

Maximize the uptime and performance of your automated welding cells with the Lincoln Electric KP3355-22 22° Thru-Arm Gooseneck. In the world of robotic welding, the gooseneck (or swan neck) is the final conduit that delivers wire, gas, and power to the weld pool. It takes the brunt of the heat and spatter, making its quality and condition vital for weld consistency. This replacement neck is designed specifically for thru-arm robots, where the torch cable runs internally through the robot arm, protecting the cable from snagging on fixtures or the part itself.

The 22-degree bend angle of this unit is precision-engineered to provide the necessary clearance and approach angle for specific welding fixtures. Unlike standard manual torches, robotic torches must maintain an exact Tool Center Point (TCP). Lincoln Electric manufactures these goosenecks to tight tolerances to ensure that when you swap out a neck, your TCP remains consistent, reducing the need for extensive reprogramming or touch-ups. This repeatability is crucial for maintaining cycle times and quality standards in a production environment.

The "Binzel" notation suggests this gooseneck is tailored for setups utilizing Binzel-style consumables. This is a popular standard in the industry, known for its robust performance. By using the KP3355-22, you can leverage the reliability of a Lincoln Electric structural component while utilizing the consumable system that best fits your shop's needs. The construction of the neck involves heavy-duty insulation and robust metal alloys that resist impact and thermal fatigue, ensuring a long service life even in harsh industrial settings.

Replacing a damaged or clogged gooseneck is a standard maintenance procedure, and the KP3355-22 is designed for quick changeovers. A worn neck can lead to poor gas coverage, erratic wire feeding, and overheating. keeping a spare Lincoln KP3355-22 on hand ensures that if a crash occurs or wear becomes excessive, you can get your robot back to welding in minutes, not hours. Trust Lincoln Electric parts to keep your automation running smoothly.
