K3573-6 - IRB4600 Mounting Kit for 4R100 and 4R200 Feeders

Secure Mounting for Reliable Robotic Feeding

When it comes to setting up a robotic welding cell, the connection between your robot and your equipment is just as important as the power source itself. The Lincoln Electric K3573-6 Mounting Bracket is the genuine OEM solution for mounting 4R100 and 4R200 wire feeders onto an ABB IRB 4600 robot. Don't risk your production quality with improvised brackets or aftermarket solutions that might flex or loosen over time. This bracket is built tough to handle the daily grind of industrial welding, ensuring your feeder stays exactly where it needs to be, even when the robot is moving at full speed.

Installation is straightforward, designed to bolt directly onto the specific mounting points of the IRB 4600 arm. This means no drilling, tapping, or guessing is required—saving you valuable setup time. Once installed, the bracket holds the 4R feeder securely, which is crucial for smooth wire feeding. A loose feeder can cause the liner to flex excessively, leading to bird-nesting or inconsistent arc starts. By using the K3573-6, you ensure a solid foundation for your wire drive system, which translates to better welds and less downtime fixing feed issues. It is compatible with both the 4R100 and 4R200 models, giving you flexibility if you swap feeders between cells.

In a busy shop, equipment durability is key. This bracket is manufactured from high-grade materials to resist the heat, spatter, and physical wear of the welding environment. It positions the feeder to allow for easy access when you need to change drive rolls or load a new spool (if boom-mounted) or inspect the connections. Whether you are retrofitting an existing cell or commissioning a new line, using the correct mounting hardware like the K3573-6 ensures your Lincoln Electric equipment performs to its full potential, keeping your arc on and your production numbers up.
