The Lincoln Electric AutoDrive© S Wire Feeder Wire Brake One-Pak© (K4306-100IC/6LW) represents a premier solution for industrial automation facilities utilizing the Fanuc© Arc Mate 100iC/6LW robotic platform. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-volume manufacturing, this package integrates Lincoln Electric's advanced wire feeding technology directly with the specific kinematics and mounting requirements of the Fanuc robot arm. The "One-Pak" designation indicates a comprehensive bundle that streamlines the procurement and installation process, ensuring that facility managers and automation engineers receive all necessary components—feeder, mounting brackets, and hardware—in a single shipment, reducing downtime associated with missing parts.
At the core of this system is the AutoDrive S wire feeder, a servo-driven unit renowned for its exceptional torque and speed control. In automated welding, consistent wire delivery is critical for maintaining weld quality and minimizing spatter. The servo motor provides rapid acceleration and deceleration, allowing for precise synchronization with the robot's movements and the power source's waveform output. This specific model is equipped with a Wire Brake, a crucial feature for advanced robotic applications. The wire brake mechanically clamps the welding wire when the arc is extinguished, preventing wire movement during repositioning. This stability is essential for "Touch Sensing" (tactile seam tracking), where the robot uses the wire tip to locate the part before welding begins. Without a wire brake, wire deflection could lead to inaccurate sensing data and subsequent weld defects.
The mounting hardware included in this kit is custom-engineered for the Fanuc Arc Mate 100iC/6LW, ensuring a low-profile fit that minimizes the risk of cable management issues or collision with fixtures. By positioning the feeder close to the torch, the system reduces friction in the liner, further enhancing feedability, especially with softer wires like aluminum. For procurement specialists and industrial engineers, the K4306-100IC/6LW offers a verified, OEM-grade solution that ensures compatibility between the welding power source and the robotic arm, safeguarding the investment in automation infrastructure.
