K870-2 - Lincoln Electric K870-2 Foot Amptrol 12-Pin Remote Control

Precise TIG Control with the Lincoln Electric K870-2 Foot Amptrol

For professional welders seeking exact control over their TIG welding arc, the Lincoln Electric K870-2 Foot Amptrol is an essential accessory. This high-quality remote current control device is designed to provide hands-free amperage adjustment, allowing the operator to fine-tune heat input dynamically while welding. Whether you are working on thin gauge aluminum or critical stainless steel joints, the ability to ramp current up and down with your foot ensures superior weld quality and crater elimination.

The K870-2 features a generous 25-foot (7.6 meter) cable, offering significant reach and flexibility within the workshop. This extended length allows welders to move around large assemblies or fixtures without moving the power source, improving workflow efficiency and safety. The unit terminates in a standard 12-pin connector, making it directly compatible with a wide range of Lincoln Electric power sources designed for TIG applications.

Compatibility and Integration

This Foot Amptrol is engineered for seamless integration with advanced Lincoln Electric machines. Notably, it is compatible with the Power Wave® S350. However, operators should note that when using this pedal with the Power Wave S350, the K3001-1 Stick/TIG User Interface is required to facilitate the connection and control logic. Always verify your machine's manual for specific 12-pin remote compatibility to ensure proper operation.

Durable Construction for Industrial Use

Lincoln Electric is renowned for building rugged equipment, and the K870-2 is no exception. The pedal mechanism is housed in a durable casing designed to withstand the rigors of a busy shop floor. The non-slip tread ensures the pedal stays in place during operation, while the smooth action provides linear feedback for predictable current adjustments. By depressing the pedal, the welder increases the amperage; releasing it decreases the amperage, eventually cutting the arc entirely for a clean finish.

Invest in the Lincoln K870-2 Foot Amptrol to elevate your TIG welding capabilities. Its combination of range, durability, and precise control makes it a favorite among fabrication professionals.
