General Physical Description
The AutoDrive
® 4R100 wire feeder is powerful yet
compact wire drive for robotic and hard automation
applications.
The MAXTRAC ® 4 roll wire drive gives steady feeding
of all wire sizes and types. The drive features split
wire guides, tool-less drive roll changing, dual spring
pressure arms and changeable gun bushings all
mounted in a precision die cast aluminum frame. A
right angle gear box efficiently transfers motor power
for both high torque and high speed.
The AutoDrive ® 4R100 are optimized for the FANUC
AM100iC arm and is suited for small diameter wires.
The small, light weight package maximizes arm speed
and working envelope. Quick release mounting
makes for fast servicing of the feeder and torch.
The AutoDrive ® 4R100 motor features replaceable,
long lasting motor brushes for extended product life.
General Functional Description
