KP4335-035A - Lincoln Electric .035 Aluminum U-Groove Drive Roll Kit

Precision Aluminum Wire Feeding Solution

The Lincoln Electric KP4335-035A Drive Roll Kit is an essential accessory for industrial welding operations focused on aluminum fabrication. Designed specifically for use with 0.035-inch (0.9 mm) aluminum welding wire, this kit features precision-machined U-groove drive rolls. Unlike standard V-groove rolls used for hard steel wires, the U-groove geometry provides a larger surface area of contact that gently grips the soft aluminum wire without biting into it. This engineering is critical for preventing the deformation of the wire cross-section, which can lead to feeding issues and poor electrical contact at the tip.

In professional manufacturing environments, equipment reliability is paramount. Using the correct drive roll profile reduces the generation of aluminum shavings within the wire feeder and gun liner. These shavings are a common cause of liner clogging and arc instability. By utilizing the KP4335-035A, operators can maintain consistent wire feed speeds, which is directly correlated to weld quality and deposition rates. This kit is a genuine Lincoln Electric OEM part, ensuring perfect compatibility with the corresponding wire feeder mechanisms and maintaining the manufacturer's performance standards.

Installation of the drive roll kit is straightforward, allowing for quick changeovers between material types. For facilities that switch between steel and aluminum projects, having the dedicated KP4335-035A kit on hand is mandatory to avoid the frustration of bird-nesting and downtime associated with improper feeding setups. This product represents Lincoln Electric's commitment to providing specialized solutions for every aspect of the welding process, ensuring that even the mechanical feeding of filler metal contributes to a superior final weld.
