Welding aluminum with robots can be a nightmare of bird-nesting wire, burnbacks, and erratic starts. The Lincoln Electric AutoDrive© SA One-Pak© for ABB 2600iD-15/185 changes the game. This isn't just a torch; it's a complete wire delivery ecosystem designed to make your robot weld aluminum as easily as it welds steel. If you are running an ABB 2600iD arm, this One-Pak gives you everything you need to get up and running with a high-performance push-pull system that actually works.
The biggest headache in robotic aluminum welding is the start. Traditional systems often pop, spatter, or burn back to the tip, causing immediate alarms and downtime. The AutoDrive SA uses Touch-Retract Start technology. The servo motor in the torch gently touches the wire to the metal and then pulls it back to draw the arc. It’s smooth, silent, and completely spatter-free. This means your robot spends more time welding and you spend less time clearing faults or cleaning fixtures.
Changing contact tips inside a robot cell is a hassle that kills cycle time. This system uses Lincoln's heavy-duty Magnum PRO Copper Plus contact tips. These aren't your standard tips; they are engineered to handle the heat and friction of aluminum wire for much longer. You can expect to get hundreds of thousands of starts out of a single tip, meaning you might go days or weeks without needing to enter the cell for a tip change.
This One-Pak takes the guesswork out of outfitting your robot. It comes with the push feeder that sits at the drum, the servo pull torch that mounts to the arm, and all the necessary cables, liners, and brackets designed specifically for the ABB 2600iD-15/185. The cabling is routed to prevent snagging and wear, ensuring your robot can move freely through its full range of motion. Upgrade your cell with the AutoDrive SA and experience the difference a true servo solution makes.
