Lincoln Electric TC-3 to CS-250 Perpendicular Mounting Bracket 10-Inch

Optimize Your Automation Rig Configuration

For welding engineers and automation specialists, the ability to configure a welding head exactly where it is needed is the difference between a successful project and a headache. The Lincoln Electric K52091-10 TC-3 to CS250 Bracket is a problem-solver for your mechanized welding setups. When you are building out a travel carriage or a fixed welding station, you often encounter spatial constraints that standard direct mounts cannot resolve. This bracket steps in to provide a 10-inch offset in a perpendicular configuration, effectively allowing you to "reach" the torch into tight spots or position it correctly over a seam that is offset from your main slide mechanism.

This component is specifically designed to mate a TC-3 Tube Clamp—which holds your welding gun barrel—to a CS-250 Cross Slide. The CS-250 is the mechanism that allows for fine adjustment of the torch position (up/down, left/right) to dial in the perfect stick-out and work angle. By placing this 10-inch perpendicular bracket between them, you gain significant flexibility in how you design your welding envelope. For example, if your cross slide is mounted horizontally but you need to hang the torch vertically with a significant offset to clear a clamping fixture, this bracket provides that structural bridge without sacrificing rigidity.

Installation is straightforward, utilizing standard bolt patterns found on Lincoln automation equipment. Once installed, the bracket acts as a solid extension of the machine, transmitting the precision of the cross slide directly to the torch tip without flex or play. This is crucial for processes like SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) or high-speed MIG where seam tracking and consistent contact tip-to-work distance (CTWD) are critical. Don't compromise on your fixture design with makeshift brackets; use the K52091-10 to ensure your automated system performs with the reliability and precision that Lincoln Electric equipment is known for.
