OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Wire Straightening Solution

For professional fabricators and industrial welding operations, the Lincoln Electric KP1964-1 Wire Guide Wire Straightener represents a vital upgrade to standard wire feeding equipment. This assembly is engineered to address the inherent challenges of feeding wire from spools or drums, specifically the removal of the wire's helix and cast. By straightening the wire before it engages with the drive rolls, the KP1964-1 ensures that the filler metal is delivered to the weld pool with absolute precision.

In heavy-duty welding applications, even minor deviations in wire trajectory can cause significant issues, such as wandering arcs or premature contact tip failure. The KP1964-1 mitigates these risks by applying controlled pressure to the wire, neutralizing its tendency to coil. This results in a wire that feeds centrally through the contact tip, ensuring optimal electrical conductivity and heat transfer. The result is a cleaner, more consistent weld with fewer defects and less spatter.

This genuine Lincoln Electric part is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring compatibility and long service life. It is an ideal solution for setups where long conduit runs or stiff wires are used, as it minimizes the drag force required by the drive motor. Invest in the KP1964-1 to maintain the efficiency of your welding system and ensure that every bead meets your rigorous quality standards.

Technical Performance

  • Cast Removal: Effectively neutralizes wire curvature for straight delivery.

FAQ

The KP1964-1 is designed to straighten welding wire as it comes off the spool, removing the natural cast and helix to ensure smooth feeding.

Removing the cast prevents the wire from dragging inside the liner and wandering as it exits the contact tip, which improves arc stability and weld placement.

It is designed for specific Lincoln Electric wire feeders. Please check your feeder's manual or parts list to confirm compatibility with the KP1964-1.

Yes, wire straighteners are often used with both solid and flux-cored wires to improve feedability, especially with stiffer or larger diameter wires.

The unit typically mounts to the inlet side of the wire drive assembly. Installation involves securing it with bolts or screws provided in the assembly or on the feeder.

Yes, by feeding the wire straight through the center of the tip, it prevents the wire from grooving the side of the tip, extending its usable life.

Most wire straighteners allow for adjustment of the rollers to apply the correct amount of pressure for the specific wire diameter and type being used.
