<p>A gooseneck locking mechanism for a robotic GMAW torch having a torch body and a gooseneck includes a connector receiver disposed in the torch body. The connector receiver includes longitudinal ends and a passageway extending between the longitudinal ends. An indexing feature is disposed in the passageway. An elongated connector is mountable on a proximal end of the gooseneck. The connector includes a cooperable indexing feature. The locking mechanism further includes a detent for joining the connector receiver and the elongated connector. The indexing features align the gooseneck relative to the torch body, and the detent secures the connector in the connector receiver for quick release. The locking mechanism may include a plurality of electrical contacts in the connector receiver that are engageable with the connector to provide flow of electrical current through the connector receiver to the gooseneck.</p> |
