OVERVIEW

Reliable Replacement for AutoDrive SA Systems

For welding operators and maintenance technicians managing robotic cells, the Lincoln Electric KP4378-45 AutoDrive SA 45° Robotic Gooseneck is the essential replacement part for keeping your AutoDrive SA torches running smoothly. A damaged or clogged gooseneck can be the source of endless frustration, causing wire feed issues, poor gas coverage, and wandering arcs. This genuine Lincoln Electric replacement restores your torch to factory specifications, ensuring that your robot lays down perfect beads shift after shift.

The 45-degree bend angle of this gooseneck is the industry standard for a wide variety of joint access requirements, allowing the robot to reach into corners and maneuver around fixtures with ease. One of the standout features of the KP4378-45 is its focus on Tool Center Point (TCP) repeatability. When you swap out an old neck for this new one, you can trust that the contact tip will be in the exact same position relative to the mounting face. This means less time spent

FAQ

The KP4378-45 features a 45-degree bend angle, which is a standard configuration for accessing a wide range of weld joints in robotic applications.

No, this gooseneck is specifically designed for the Lincoln Electric AutoDrive SA series of robotic welding systems. Please verify your torch model before purchasing.

No, the KP4378-45 typically includes the gooseneck body only. Consumables such as nozzles, contact tips, and diffusers must be purchased separately.

This part is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure high TCP repeatability, meaning the wire tip position remains consistent when the neck is replaced, minimizing the need for reprogramming.

It is constructed from high-durability conductive alloys designed to withstand the heat and electrical current of high-amperage MIG welding while maintaining structural rigidity.

While minor adjustments might be possible with specialized fixtures, it is generally recommended to replace bent goosenecks in robotic applications to ensure TCP accuracy and prevent weld defects.

The AutoDrive SA series typically utilizes air-cooling designs for this specific form factor, but users should check their specific torch manual to confirm cooling requirements for their setup.
