The Amptrol™ mounts right on the TIG torch handle so you can adjust welding current with your thumb or finger while the arc is running, without breaking your body position or reaching back to the power source. This version terminates in an 8-pin connector for Lincoln Electric machines with an 8-pin remote receptacle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e13.5 ft (4.1 m) of Remote Current Control\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides 13.5 ft (4.1 m) of remote current control for TIG welding, letting the operator raise and lower amperage at the torch instead of walking back to the machine between passes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotary Track Style Control\u003c\/strong\u003e A rotary track control sets the welding current with a thumb or finger roll along the curved track on top of the body. The wide track is easy to reach and modulate while wearing welding gloves, and it stays put once you have dialed in the current you want.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounts Directly to the TIG Torch\u003c\/strong\u003e The Amptrol™ body straps onto the TIG torch handle so the current control sits under the hand that is already holding the torch. That keeps both hands on the work and frees up the other hand for filler rod.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArc Initiation for HF TIG\u003c\/strong\u003e Lincoln lists this Amptrol™ as optional for high-frequency TIG operation to initiate the arc and control welding current, so a single hand control handles both starting the arc and riding the amperage through the weld.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-Pin Remote Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects to Lincoln Electric power sources fitted with an 8-pin remote receptacle.

Confirm the receptacle on your machine is 8-pin before ordering - Lincoln also builds 6-pin and 12-pin Amptrols (K963-3 and K963-4) for other power sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight at 1 lb (0.5 kg)\u003c\/strong\u003e At just 1 lb (0.5 kg) the Amptrol™ adds almost nothing to the weight of the torch, so it will not fight you during long out-of-position or overhead work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for TIG (GTAW)\u003c\/strong\u003e Purpose-built for gas tungsten arc welding, where fine amperage control through the puddle is the difference between a clean bead and a burned-through edge - thin-gauge stainless, aluminum and tube work in particular.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacked by a 1-Year Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e Covered by Lincoln Electric's 1 year warranty.
