PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
General Physical Description
The AutoDrive™ 4R220 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™ 4R220 features a powerful motor
with an efficient two stage gearbox. This feeder is
best for feeding larger diameter wires, pulling wire
through long conduits, and in applications requiring
extra ruggedness. A door covers the wire drive, pro-
tecting it from dust.
General Functional Description
A high resolution tachometer precision for wire feed-
ing forwards and in reverse.
