10-4016 - Thermal Arc 8-Pin TIG Foot Pedal with 25ft Cable

Thermal Arc 10-4016 8-Pin Foot Control

The Thermal Arc 10-4016 is a premium remote foot control designed to provide professional welders with precise command over their welding amperage and arc initiation. Engineered specifically for Thermal Arc power sources equipped with an 8-pin remote receptacle, this accessory is a critical component for achieving high-quality results in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) applications. The unit features a robust metal construction intended to survive the rigors of industrial shop floors, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

Technically, the device operates via a potentiometer for linear current adjustment and a microswitch for contactor engagement. The 8-pin connector ensures a reliable signal interface with the power source, preventing signal loss or intermittent control issues. The integrated 25-foot (7.6-meter) cable assembly provides significant reach, allowing the operator to work on large assemblies or fixtures without moving the power source. This specific model is widely compatible with the Thermal Arc Fabricator series (181i, 211i, 252i) and select ArcMaster units requiring the 8-pin configuration.

The pedal's mechanics are designed for smooth travel, allowing for subtle heat input adjustments while welding. This is particularly important when welding heat-sensitive materials like thin-gauge stainless steel or aluminum, where crater filling and heat tapering are necessary. The base of the unit includes non-slip pads to prevent movement on concrete floors, enhancing safety and ease of use.
