K4130-20 - Lincoln AutoDrive Robotic Cable for Fanuc 100iD/120iD

Precision Engineering for Robotic Automation

The Lincoln Electric K4130-20 AutoDrive Cable Assembly is a critical component designed to bridge the gap between advanced welding power sources and the dynamic movement of industrial robots. Specifically engineered for the Fanuc ARC Mate 100iD, 100iD/10L, and 120iD series robots, this assembly ensures seamless communication and power delivery to the AutoDrive wire feeding system. In the realm of industrial automation, the integrity of cabling is paramount; a single fault can lead to costly downtime and production halts. This cable is constructed to meet the rigorous demands of high-volume manufacturing environments.

The assembly features high-grade, flexible sheathing capable of withstanding the repetitive torsion and bending cycles inherent in 6-axis robotic applications. Unlike standard cables, the K4130-20 is optimized for the hollow-arm design of modern Fanuc robots, allowing for internal routing that protects the cable from weld spatter, physical abrasion, and collision hazards. This internal dressing strategy not only extends the lifespan of the cable but also improves the overall reach and accessibility of the robot within the weld cell.

Technically, the K4130-20 facilitates the precise control signals required for the AutoDrive system's servo motors, ensuring wire feed speeds are maintained with exceptional accuracy. This synchronization is vital for processes requiring tight tolerances, such as automotive assembly or aerospace component fabrication. By using genuine Lincoln Electric interconnects, facility managers can ensure full compatibility with their existing Power Wave and AutoDrive infrastructure, maintaining the validity of system warranties and performance metrics.

Installation is straightforward for maintenance teams familiar with Fanuc robotic arms. The connectors are keyed and ruggedized to prevent mismating and to resist the ingress of industrial dust and metallic fines. Whether you are commissioning a new cell or performing preventative maintenance on an existing line, the K4130-20 represents the OEM standard for reliability and performance in robotic arc welding.
