The Lincoln Electric AutoDrive© S Wire Feeder One-Pak© (K4306-KR16-HW) is a comprehensive robotic welding solution engineered specifically for the Kuka KR 16 Arc HW robot arm. This package consolidates all necessary components for integrating the advanced AutoDrive S wire feeding system into your automated cell, ensuring compatibility and simplifying the procurement process. The core of this system is the AutoDrive S feeder (K4303-1), which is designed to communicate seamlessly with the Power Wave® platform to deliver superior arc performance.
The AutoDrive S distinguishes itself with Touch-Retract Starting technology. Unlike traditional systems that rely solely on electrical initiation, this feeder physically touches the wire to the workpiece and then retracts it to draw the arc at a lower current. This mechanical action, synchronized with the Power Wave power source, results in a soft, spatter-free start. The One-Pak includes the specific mounting bracketry, feeder insulator, and torch cable assembly required for the Kuka KR 16 Arc HW geometry, ensuring a precise fit and optimal cable management.
This One-Pak is supplied as an unassembled kit containing the feeder, mounting hardware, and a complete front-end consumable set (housing, nose cone, gun tube, nozzle, diffuser, insulator, contact tips, and liner). By bundling these components, Lincoln Electric ensures that integrators have the correct mating parts for the specific robot model, reducing setup time and potential compatibility errors during installation.
