If you run robotic welding cells for aluminum parts, you know the struggle. Burnbacks, bird-nests, and spatter on start-up can turn a high-speed production line into a maintenance nightmare. The Lincoln Electric AutoDrive® SA One-Pak® for the Fanuc 100iC/6L is designed to stop those problems dead in their tracks. This isn't just a torch; it's a complete servo-driven feeding system that takes total control of your wire from the drum to the puddle. It is built specifically to fit your Fanuc robot, making installation straightforward and integration seamless.
Perfect Starts, Every Time
The magic behind the AutoDrive SA is the "Touch-Retract" start. Instead of blasting the wire to start the arc (which causes spatter), the torch actually touches the wire to the metal and then pulls it back instantly to light the arc. It’s smooth, quiet, and completely spatter-free. This means your parts come off the line looking cleaner, requiring less post-weld cleanup, and your fixtures stay cleaner longer. For aluminum welding, where appearance is often just as important as strength, this feature is a game-changer.
Feed Aluminum Like Steel
Feeding soft aluminum wire through a robot arm can be like pushing a rope. The AutoDrive SA uses a synchronized push-pull system that gently but firmly guides the wire. The servo motor in the torch communicates directly with your Lincoln Power Wave welder, adjusting speed thousands of times a second. This ensures that even when the robot arm is twisted into a tight corner, your wire feed stays constant. No more stuttering arcs or uneven beads.
Consumables That Last
Downtime kills profitability. Stopping the robot every few hours to change a contact tip is a waste of time. This package comes equipped with Magnum® PRO Copper Plus™ contact tips. These aren't your standard tips; they are designed to handle the heat and are rated for over 250,000 starts. That means you can run shift after shift without stopping for tip changes, keeping your robot doing what it does best: welding.
