OVERVIEW

Keep Your Automation on Track

If you are running a Lincoln Electric PT100 seam tracking system, you know that the probe tip is the unsung hero of your operation. It’s the finger that feels the joint so your machine doesn't have to guess. The Lincoln Electric KP52048-1 is the replacement 1-inch ball tip you need to keep that system accurate and reliable. Whether you are welding long structural beams or large tanks, this tip ensures your torch stays exactly where it needs to be, pass after pass.

We know that welding environments destroy weak parts. That is why Lincoln built this tip with a plated steel body and a specially formulated wear-resistant alloy on the end. It is designed to drag along steel, aluminum, or stainless plate all day long without grinding down prematurely. It stands up to the heat, the spatter, and the friction of continuous production. The 1-inch ball shape is perfect for riding over tack welds or navigating wider joints where a needle-point probe might snag or give jumpy readings.

The best feature for the operator is the ease of changeout. You don't need to call maintenance or shut down the line for an hour. When the tip finally wears out, you can unscrew the old one and pop this new KP52048-1 on in seconds. It’s a smart, low-cost way to protect your expensive automation equipment and ensure your weld quality stays top-notch. Keep a few in your spare parts bin so you never have to run blind.

FAQ

This sensor tip is designed specifically for Lincoln Electric PT100 tactile seam tracking systems.

The tip features a 1-inch (25 mm) diameter ball.

The body is plated steel, and the probe end is fabricated from a special wear-resistant alloy.

Ball tips are generally better for wider joints, lap joints, or surfaces with minor imperfections, as they glide more smoothly than sharp points.

It is designed to be changed in seconds, typically screwing directly onto the sensor arm.

Yes, the sensor tip is a consumable that is meant to be replaced when worn, protecting the expensive sensor unit.

No, this is a component for automated seam tracking systems, not for manual welding torches.

The KP52048-1 is the tip assembly itself, which attaches to the existing probe arm of the PT100 system.
