PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
General Physical Description
The AutoDrive 4R90 wire feeders are powerful yet
compact wire drives 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 4R90 is optimized for the FANUC
AM100iC arm. The small, light weight package maxi-
mizes arm speed and working envelope. Quick
release mounting makes for fast servicing of the feed-
er and torch.
General Functional Description
A high resolution tachometer lets the AutoDrive 4R90
accurately feed wire at slow speeds and have good
dynamic response.
