TGJ2580471 - Canaweld 201 Pulse DC Remote Amperage Foot Pedal - 12ft Cord

Precision Remote Amperage Control for Canaweld Systems

The TGJ2580471 TIG Foot Control is a specialized accessory engineered exclusively for the Canaweld 201 Pulse DC welding power source. In the realm of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), the ability to dynamically control heat input is paramount for achieving code-quality welds, particularly when working with varying material thicknesses or complex joint geometries. This foot control unit provides the operator with immediate, hands-free command over the welding current, allowing for seamless crater filling, heat tapering, and arc initiation.

Constructed with a heavy-duty steel housing, this pedal is built to endure the rigors of industrial manufacturing environments. Unlike plastic alternatives that may crack under the weight of a boot or heavy equipment, the steel chassis ensures long-term durability and protection for the internal electronic components. The unit features a high-quality potentiometer that delivers a smooth, linear resistance curve, translating physical foot movement into precise amperage adjustments without jumps or dead spots. This linearity is critical for maintaining arc stability and preventing burn-through on thin gauge materials.

The connection is established via a robust 9-pin aviation-style plug, wired specifically to match the pinout configuration of the Canaweld 201 Pulse DC. It is important to note that while many welders use 9-pin connectors, the internal wiring varies significantly between brands and models; this unit is hard-wired to ensure instant compatibility without the risk of shorting control boards. The attached 12-foot control cable offers ample reach, allowing the welder to position themselves comfortably around large workpieces or fixtures without being tethered too closely to the power source. The cable is shielded to reject high-frequency noise, ensuring that the control signals remain clean and uninterrupted during operation.

Operational safety and stability are enhanced by non-slip traction pads located on both the base of the unit and the pedal surface itself. These pads prevent the pedal from sliding across smooth concrete floors and ensure the operator's foot remains securely in place, even in oily or dusty shop conditions. By offloading amperage control to the foot, the operator frees up their hands to focus entirely on torch manipulation and filler rod feeding, resulting in superior bead aesthetics and structural integrity.
