WWOA-20 - Wire Wizard Orbital Arm for 20-inch Drum with Springer Liner

Precision Wire Dispensing for Automation

The Wire Wizard WWOA-20 Hood Orbital Arm is a critical component for high-volume welding operations utilizing bulk wire drums. Specifically engineered for 20-inch (508mm) cones and drums, this orbital arm facilitates the smooth and continuous payout of welding wire, which is essential for maintaining arc stability and weld quality in robotic and automated cells.

At the core of the WWOA-20 is the integrated Springer Liner. Unlike standard liners, the Springer Liner is designed to minimize contact surface area, thereby significantly reducing friction as the wire travels from the drum into the conduit system. This reduction in drag is vital for long-distance wire feeding setups where motor strain must be minimized.

The arm functions by rotating 360 degrees around the top of the wire pack, following the natural payout of the wire coil. This orbital motion prevents the wire from dragging across the abrasive edges of the drum or cone, effectively eliminating the risk of insulation damage or shaving generation. Furthermore, the arm's design actively prevents the formation of "e-scripts" or knots that can cause catastrophic feed failures and costly downtime.

Robustly constructed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, the WWOA-20 integrates seamlessly with Wire Wizard's extensive line of wire dispensing hoods and conduit solutions. It represents a proactive solution to wire feeding challenges, ensuring that production lines remain operational and efficient.
