The Lincoln Electric AutoDrive S Wire Feeder One-Pak (K4306-100IC/8L) is a comprehensive package designed specifically for the Fanuc Arc Mate 100iC/8L robotic arm. This all-in-one solution simplifies the procurement and installation process for industrial automation, providing every essential component needed to equip your robot for high-precision welding. By bundling the advanced AutoDrive S feeder with the necessary mounting brackets, cabling, and torch consumables, Lincoln Electric ensures seamless compatibility and immediate readiness for assembly.
At the heart of this package is the AutoDrive S wire feeder, a device engineered to transform robotic welding performance. It utilizes cutting-edge touch-retract starting technology. Unlike traditional hard-start methods that can cause explosive spatter and inconsistent arcs, the AutoDrive S gently retracts the wire upon contact to initiate the arc. This results in a significantly softer start, virtually eliminating spatter and preventing burnback. For high-volume automotive and fabrication environments, this means cleaner welds, less post-weld cleanup, and a dramatic reduction in scrap parts.
Reliability is critical in automated manufacturing. The AutoDrive S system is built to maximize uptime by reducing common arc failures. The precision control over wire acceleration and deceleration—synchronized perfectly with Lincoln's Power Wave platform—ensures that every weld starts flawlessly. This consistency extends the lifespan of contact tips and nozzles, reducing the frequency of consumable changeovers. Over time, the reduction in downtime for maintenance and the decrease in consumable usage translate into substantial operational cost savings.
This One-Pak is tailored for the Fanuc Arc Mate 100iC/8L, ensuring that cable lengths, mounting brackets, and housing fit perfectly without the need for custom fabrication or guesswork. The package includes the K4303-1 Feeder, specific mounting hardware, a complete torch cable assembly, and a full set of front-end consumables (nozzle, diffuser, contact tip). It is the ideal choice for facility managers and engineers looking to deploy reliable, high-speed robotic welding cells with minimal setup time.
