K4306-100IC/8LW - AutoDrive S Robotic Wire Feeder Package for Fanuc 100iC/8LW

Perfect Starts, Every Time

If you program or operate robotic welding cells, you know that the "start" is often the most frustrating part of the process. Burnbacks, failed ignitions, and spatter on the part can ruin your cycle time and force you to stop for maintenance. The Lincoln AutoDrive© S Wire Feeder One-Pak© for the Fanuc© Arc Mate 100iC/8LW is built to solve exactly these problems. It isn't just a feeder; it's a complete upgrade to your robot's front end that changes how the arc initiates.

The Magic of Touch-Retract

The AutoDrive S uses "Touch-Retract" starting. Instead of blasting the wire into the plate, the feeder gently touches the wire to the work, feels the connection, and then pulls the wire back to light the arc. It’s smooth, quiet, and practically spatter-free. This means you spend less time cleaning nozzles and changing contact tips, and more time running parts. It also protects your contact tip from the damage usually caused by hard starting, keeping your tool center point (TCP) consistent for longer.

Everything in One Box

This One-Pak takes the headache out of setting up a Fanuc 100iC/8LW. You don't need to hunt for the right mounting plate or guess which liner fits the torch cable. It all comes in the box: the feeder, the custom bracket that fits your robot arm perfectly, the torch cable assembly, the gun tube, and even the consumables to get you started. It also includes a Wire Brake, which is a game-changer for robotics. It stops the wire instantly when the weld ends, so you don't have extra wire sticking out that could mess up your next touch-sense or arc start.

Built for the Power Wave

When paired with a Lincoln Power Wave power source, this feeder is incredibly responsive. It talks to the welder instantly, giving you precise control over run-in speeds and crater fills. Whether you are welding thin automotive sheet metal or structural components, this package gives your robot the precision it needs to lay down perfect beads shift after shift.
