0460315881 - ESAB T1 CAN-Bus Foot Pedal Remote Control 5M

Precision Digital Control for Professional TIG Welding

The ESAB T1 Foot CAN 10-POL 5M is a high-performance remote control unit designed specifically for ESAB welding power sources equipped with CAN-bus interfaces. In the realm of precision Tungsten Inert Gas (GTAW) welding, the ability to dynamically adjust amperage is critical for managing heat input, controlling the weld puddle, and tapering off current to prevent crater cracking. This T1 Foot Control provides that capability with exceptional accuracy, leveraging digital communication protocols to ensure that the signal from the pedal to the machine is instantaneous and free from analog interference.

Unlike traditional analog potentiometers that can be susceptible to electrical noise in heavy industrial environments, the CAN-bus technology integrated into this pedal ensures reliable data transmission. This results in a smoother, more responsive arc control experience. The unit connects via a robust 10-pole (10-pin) connector, ensuring a secure and durable interface with the power source. The included 5-meter (16.4-foot) cable provides ample length for welders to position themselves comfortably around large workpieces without being tethered too closely to the machine.

Constructed with the durability expected of ESAB industrial equipment, the T1 Foot CAN features a rugged housing that protects the internal electronics from dust, debris, and impact. The pedal mechanism is engineered for smooth travel, allowing for subtle adjustments in current. This is particularly vital when welding thin materials like aluminum or stainless steel, where even minor fluctuations in heat can lead to burn-through or lack of fusion. By offloading current control to the foot, the operator keeps both hands free to manipulate the torch and filler metal, resulting in superior weld quality and aesthetics.

This accessory is an essential addition for professional fabricators using compatible ESAB inverters. It transforms the welding machine into a fully responsive system, adapting to the welder's immediate needs. Whether you are performing intricate aerospace work or heavy-duty pipe welding, the T1 Foot CAN delivers the control necessary for code-quality results.
