K3390-15 - Lincoln AutoDrive SA Robot Control Cable for Fanuc 100iD/120iD

Precision Control for Advanced Robotic Welding

The Lincoln Electric K3390-15 AutoDrive SA Control Cable is a critical component designed to bridge the gap between advanced robotic welding power sources and the motion control systems of specific industrial robots. Engineered exclusively for the AutoDrive SA (Servo Arc) wire feeding systems, this cable facilitates the high-speed, bidirectional communication necessary for modern automated fabrication. It is specifically configured for integration with Fanuc ARC Mate 100iD, 100iD/10L, and 120iD robotic arms, ensuring a perfect physical and electrical fit.

In the realm of robotic welding, signal integrity is paramount. The K3390-15 is constructed with high-grade conductors and superior shielding to mitigate the risks of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which are common in high-voltage industrial environments. This ensures that command signals for wire feed speed, voltage, and arc initiation are transmitted without corruption, leading to consistent weld quality and reduced error rates. The cable's architecture is robust enough to withstand the repetitive flexing and torsional stresses often encountered in robotic cell setups, although it is primarily a control link typically routed safely along the robot arm or through cable management systems.

Using genuine Lincoln Electric interface cables like the K3390-15 is essential for maintaining the validity of your equipment's warranty and ensuring optimal system performance. Third-party or makeshift cables often lack the specific pin-out configurations and impedance matching required by the AutoDrive SA system, potentially leading to communication faults or damage to the controller boards. This cable comes pre-terminated with industrial-grade connectors that lock securely into place, preventing accidental disconnections caused by vibration or movement.

Technical Integration

This cable is designed to route seamlessly with the hollow-arm design of the Fanuc iD series robots, reducing cable interference with tooling and fixtures. It connects the AutoDrive servo control unit directly to the robot controller or the dedicated process interface, enabling features such as Touch Sensing and Through-Arc Seam Tracking if supported by the system configuration. Whether you are setting up a new cell or replacing a damaged line, the K3390-15 provides the reliability professional integrators demand.
