The ESAB Foot Control for FP 200 (SKU: 0558102816) is an essential accessory for professional fabricators utilizing the ESAB FP 200 welding positioner. In precision welding applications, particularly pipe and vessel fabrication, the ability to modulate rotation speed dynamically is critical. This foot control unit empowers the operator to adjust the turntable's RPM in real-time without interrupting the arc, ensuring the weld puddle remains consistent even as the diameter or heat input requirements change.
Engineered with the industrial environment in mind, this pedal features a robust housing that protects the internal potentiometer and switching mechanisms from sparks, dust, and heavy shop use. The ergonomic design ensures that the pedal offers smooth resistance, allowing for fine-tuned adjustments rather than abrupt speed changes. By offloading the speed control to the foot, the welder's hands are entirely free to focus on torch manipulation and filler metal addition, resulting in superior bead aesthetics and structural integrity.
Integration is seamless; the unit is designed specifically for the logic and power interface of the FP 200 series. Whether you are performing TIG root passes that require slow, controlled rotation or faster fill passes, this accessory bridges the gap between the machine's capabilities and the welder's skill. It transforms the FP 200 from a static rotating tool into a responsive extension of the operator.
