While a welding machine is usually set to a particular constant welding current, there are cases where it is necessary to vary the welding current. Examples are contour welding or welding air gaps of different widths. If the current can be regulated during these processes, the welder can produce a clean and even seam. While welding aluminium, it also makes sense to regulate the current during the process depending on the temperature. Usually, there are push-buttons built into the welding torch to regulate the welding current. The disadvantage: the user must operate the push-buttons with their hands during the welding process. The new foot-operated remote control is said to be a safer and more convenient option to regulate the welding current.
The foot-operated remote control has a non-slip pad. Rubber feet help ensure stability. A stainless-steel bracket lets users position it wherever they need it below the table. They can also move it during the welding process without having to interrupt your work. The bracket can be mounted on the left or right, as needed. Pressing the pedal increases the welding current. This lets users adjust the welding current precisely to achieve the desired weld seam quality.
The foot-operated remote control with its 19-pole plug is compatible with all TIG welding machines – whether Picotig, Tetrix or Tetrix XQ – and with the EWM plasma welding machines.
