AMTCV-10-2-L6 - CK Worldwide Amptrak Linear Slide Remote - Lincoln 6-Pin 10k Ohm

Technical Overview of the CK Worldwide Amptrak AMTCV-10-2-L6

The CK Worldwide AMTCV-10-2-L6 is a linear-slide style remote amperage control unit designed for integration with specific Lincoln Electric TIG power sources. This device functions as a remote potentiometer, utilizing a 10,000 Ohm (10k) resistance value to regulate welding current output. The unit is terminated with a standard Lincoln 6-pin connector, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with machines requiring this specific pinout and resistance configuration for remote operation.

Mechanically, the Amptrak utilizes a linear slide actuator rather than a rotary dial. This design allows for rapid, intuitive adjustments to amperage during the weld cycle, including arc initiation (on/off contactor control) and crater fill sequences. The internal components are shielded against high-frequency (HF) interference, a critical specification for AC TIG welding applications where HF start is employed. The control assembly is housed in a durable casing featuring a built-in strain relief system, which secures the 28-foot cable against mechanical stress and accidental disconnection.

The mounting interface is a universal Hook and Loop (Velcro) strap system. This "one-size-fits-all" approach allows the control module to be securely fastened to any standard TIG torch handle, regardless of diameter or manufacturer (e.g., CK, Weldcraft, Miller). This eliminates the need for handle-specific adapters or built-in handle controls, providing flexibility for mixed-fleet environments. The 28-foot cable length provides ample working radius, exceeding standard torch cable lengths to ensure the control connection does not limit mobility.
