OVERVIEW

Flawless Aluminum Welds, Every Cycle

Robotic aluminum welding can be a nightmare of burnbacks, erratic starts, and constant contact tip changes. The AutoDrive® SA One-Pak® for the Fanuc 100iC/8L changes the game. If you are tired of stopping your robot to clear a bird-nest or replace a fused tip, this system is the answer. It is built specifically to handle the softness of aluminum wire with a synchronized push-pull design that feeds wire smoothly through the cable bundle, regardless of how the robot arm twists or turns.

The standout feature for production teams is the Touch-Retract Start. Standard starting methods often blast the wire, creating spatter that ruins the aesthetic of aluminum parts and degrades the contact tip. The AutoDrive SA uses a precision servo motor to retract the wire the instant the arc lights. This creates a soft, consistent start that feels almost like TIG welding in its cleanliness. The result? You get cleaner parts that require less post-weld cleaning, and your consumables last significantly longer.

Speaking of consumables, this system utilizes Magnum® PRO Copper Plus™ contact tips. Combined with the spatter-free starting technology, these tips are rated for over 250,000 starts and stops. That means fewer interruptions per shift, higher throughput, and lower operating costs. The One-Pak comes with everything you need to retrofit or outfit your Fanuc robot, including the torch, feeders, and heavy-duty cabling designed to withstand the repetitive motion of industrial robotics.

FAQ

This specific package (K4678-100IC/8L) is engineered exclusively for the Fanuc 100iC/8L robot arm, ensuring perfect mounting fitment and cable management.

Touch-Retract Start is a feature where the servo motor retracts the wire slightly to initiate the arc, rather than relying solely on high current. This eliminates start spatter and prevents burnback.

Yes, the AutoDrive SA system is designed to communicate directly with Lincoln Electric Power Wave® power sources to utilize Waveform Control Technology.

By eliminating the explosive energy of traditional arc starts and using Magnum PRO Copper Plus tips, the system can achieve over 250,000 starts on a single tip.

It is a synchronized Push-Pull system. It uses a feeder at the wire drum (push) and a servo-driven feeder at the torch (pull) to ensure consistent aluminum wire delivery.

The One-Pak includes the push feeder, pull feeder, mounting brackets, insulators, control cables, breakaway disk, torch tube, conduit, liner, and contact tips.

While servo technology is excellent, the AutoDrive SA (Servo Aluminum) is specifically optimized for the challenges of aluminum welding.

The servo motor provides precise, instantaneous control over wire acceleration and deceleration, matching the robot's movements and the power source's waveform requirements perfectly.
