TGJ2580470 - Canaweld 201 Pulse Compatible TIG Foot Pedal Remote Amp Control

Product Overview

The Tig Foot Control 9 Pin 12ft for Canaweld 201 Pulse is a specialized remote amperage controller designed to interface seamlessly with the Canaweld 201 Pulse TIG welding machine. This accessory is essential for professional TIG applications where dynamic heat input management is required. The unit connects via a dedicated 9-pin aviation connector, ensuring a secure and interference-free link between the operator and the power source.

Technical Specifications

Engineered for industrial reliability, the pedal is housed in a heavy-duty steel casing that protects the internal potentiometer and switching mechanisms from impact, dust, and shop debris. The integrated 12-foot control cable offers significant flexibility, allowing the welder to position themselves optimally around large assemblies without being tethered too closely to the machine. The internal components are calibrated to match the resistance requirements of the Canaweld 201 Pulse, ensuring linear and predictable amperage ramp-up and ramp-down.

Operational Mechanics

Depressing the pedal activates the main contactor to initiate the arc while simultaneously adjusting the welding current based on the depth of depression. This allows for "hot starts" to establish the puddle quickly, followed by a reduction in amperage to maintain the weld pool, and finally a taper off (crater fill) to prevent defects at the end of the weld. The mechanical action is smooth, with a spring-return mechanism that immediately cuts the arc when the foot is removed, enhancing safety and gas conservation.

Compatibility and Installation

This device is a direct replacement or add-on for the Canaweld 201 Pulse system. Installation is strictly plug-and-play: align the 9-pin connector with the receptacle on the front panel of the welder, secure the locking ring, and switch the machine to 'Remote' mode. No additional software or internal wiring changes are necessary. The rugged design includes non-slip rubber feet to maintain position on concrete or metal floors.
