K4306-120IC - Lincoln AutoDrive S Robotic Feeder Package for Fanuc 120iC

Complete Robotic Wire Feeding Solution for Fanuc Arc Mate 120iC

The Lincoln Electric AutoDrive® S Wire Feeder One-Pak® (K4306-120IC) is a comprehensive integration package designed specifically for the Fanuc® Arc Mate 120iC robotic arm. This bundle streamlines the procurement and setup process for automated welding cells by consolidating the advanced AutoDrive S servo-driven wire feeder with all necessary mounting hardware, cabling, and torch components into a single orderable unit. The system is engineered to leverage the full capabilities of the Lincoln Electric Power Wave® platform, creating a high-performance communication loop between the power source and the wire drive.

At the core of this package is the AutoDrive S feeder, which utilizes revolutionary Touch-Retract Starting Technology. This feature allows the wire to retract slightly upon touching the workpiece, initiating the arc at a lower current level. This mechanical action, synchronized with the power source software, virtually eliminates the explosive spatter often associated with standard high-current starts. For industrial integrators and robotic programmers, this translates to cleaner fixtures, reduced cycle interruptions, and significantly improved process stability in high-volume automotive and fabrication environments.

The One-Pak format ensures compatibility and reduces engineering time. The kit includes the specific mounting bracket (K4254-3) and feeder insulator (KP4313-120iC) required for the Fanuc 120iC arm geometry. It also supplies the complete torch assembly, including the torch cable, breakaway disk for collision protection, housing, nose cone, and a 45-degree gun tube. Essential consumables such as the nozzle, diffuser, insulator, contact tip, and liner are pre-selected to get the system up and running immediately. This holistic approach ensures that every component from the feeder to the contact tip is optimized for the specific robot model.
