K4303-2 - AutoDrive© S Wire Feeder

The AutoDrive S wire feeder is specifically designed for robotic welding in the automotive fabrication industry. It utilizes servo driven motors and incorporates touch-retract starting technology to achieve a smoother arc start. Our product focuses on enhancing both speed and precision, offering a streamlined solution for robotic welding in various industries.

AutoDrive S is designed to minimize common issues such as inconsistent starts, spatter, burnback, and other mishaps associated with pre-programmed wire feeding. By utilizing touch-retract starting technology, the system initiates the arc at a lower current after touching the wire to the workpiece. This softer start reduces or eliminates spatter, thereby extending the consumable's lifespan. This ultimately leads to reduced operating costs, improved uptime, and enhanced productivity.

With AutoDrive S, you can expect precise starts and increased production. Our touch-retract start technology significantly reduces arc start failures, ensuring a reliable and efficient welding process. This improvement in arc-on time greatly enhances productivity and leads to long-term cost savings.

In addition to improved productivity, the AutoDrive S also delivers higher quality welds that are consistent throughout the entire length. This feature makes it particularly effective for challenging welding applications and ensures the best results possible.

Spatter can be a costly and time-consuming issue. AutoDrive S addresses this problem by providing the cleanest possible start, minimizing damage to the contact tip. This reduces wear and tear on the tip, resulting in a longer lifespan and fewer replacement tips. Ultimately, this reduces downtime and improves the bottom line.

Unlike standard robotic starting routines, which operate independently, the AutoDrive S employs Touch-Retract Starting technology to create optimal synergy between the Power Wave® platform and the wire feeder. This integration allows for precise control over the acceleration and deceleration of wire feed speed, resulting in flawless arc initiation every time.

Experience the evolution of robotic welding with the AutoDrive S wire feeder. Combining the precision and speed of our product with the advanced capabilities of the Power Wave platform, you can achieve superior weld quality and maximize production efficiency."
