OVERVIEW

Keep Your Welds on Track

If you are running an automated welding setup with a Lincoln Electric Seam Tracker, you know that the system is only as good as the tip touching the metal. The Lincoln Electric KP52047-1 PT006 Sensor Tip is the replacement probe you need to keep your torch right where it belongs. This 1/16-inch round tip is designed to glide along the joint, sending precise signals to your equipment to adjust for any variations in the part fit-up. It’s the "finger" of your machine, feeling the path so you don't have to constantly babysit the arc.

Built Tough for the Shop Floor

Dragging a piece of metal along a joint all day wears things down fast. That’s why Lincoln built the PT006 with a special wear-resistant alloy at the very tip. While the body is made of strong plated steel to handle the heat and bumps of the shop, the contact point is hardened to resist grinding away against your base metal. This means you get more run time out of every tip and less downtime stopping the line to swap parts out. It’s a small part that makes a big difference in keeping your automation running smooth.

Quick and Easy Swaps

Nobody likes downtime, especially for something as small as a sensor tip. The PT006 is designed to be changed out in seconds. When the tip finally does wear down or if you accidentally crash it, you can pop a new one on and get back to welding immediately. The round 1/16-inch profile is versatile for a lot of different joint types, making it a great standard tip to keep in your maintenance crib. Whether you are welding pipe, structural beams, or heavy plate, this tip helps ensure your bead lands exactly in the joint every single time.

FAQ

The PT006 sensor tip has a diameter of 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).

It is constructed from plated steel with a probe end fabricated from a special wear-resistant alloy.

It is designed for Lincoln Electric tactile seam tracking systems. Always verify compatibility with your specific sensor head model in the user manual.

The tip is designed for quick replacement and can typically be unscrewed and replaced in seconds without extensive tools.

The round style allows for smooth traversal over various joint geometries and provides consistent contact for accurate tracking.

Yes, the tip is a mechanical guide and can be used on various base materials, including aluminum, provided the tracking system is set up correctly.

Generally, tactile tips run dry against the workpiece. Adding lubricant might interfere with the welding process or attract debris.

The probe end is the contact point that experiences constant friction; the wear-resistant alloy extends the lifespan of the tip significantly compared to standard steel.
