KP3194-2 - Fanuc 50 iC Robot Collision Interface Disk

Operational Efficiency and Rapid Recovery

For maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals managing robotic welding lines, downtime is the enemy. The Lincoln Electric KP3194-2 External Dress Break-Away Disk is a critical spare part to keep on the shelf for any facility utilizing Fanuc 50 iC robots. This component is more than just a mounting plate; it is a functional safety device designed to minimize the Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR) following a cell collision.

When a robot torch collides with a fixture or workpiece, the force generated can be immense. Without a break-away or collision sensing interface, this force travels up the robot arm, potentially stripping gears or damaging motor encoders. The KP3194-2 functions as a replaceable mounting interface disk. It is engineered to fail or displace safely under specific load conditions, effectively decoupling the torch from the arm to dissipate energy. This design philosophy prioritizes the survival of the robot arm, which is the most expensive asset in the cell.

Key Technical Benefits

Designed for the Fanuc 50 iC, this disk integrates seamlessly with external dress packages. External cabling solutions offer flexibility and ease of maintenance, and the KP3194-2 supports this by providing a sturdy yet forgiving mounting point. Replacing a damaged break-away disk is a straightforward mechanical procedure that can typically be performed by on-site maintenance personnel, allowing the cell to return to production rapidly.

Using the correct interface disk is vital for maintaining the robot's repeatability. A generic or improvised mount may not yield under the correct stress loads, risking the robot, or it may be too weak, causing nuisance trips and production stoppages. The Lincoln Electric KP3194-2 is calibrated for the specific dynamics of the Fanuc 50 iC, ensuring it holds firm during aggressive welding maneuvers but yields instantly during a hard crash. Ensure your welding line remains resilient and protected with this genuine Lincoln Electric component.
