Power at Your Fingertips: Remote Amperage TIG Torches

TIG welding calls for precision, and every TIG welder knows that stop-and-go adjustments at the power source can interrupt your workflow, slow production, and most importantly, compromise the quality of your welds. 

So what if we told you that you could have seamless control over the arc’s amperage? You might bring up TIG foot pedals, but what if you need to fine-tune on the fly without ever putting down your torch? CK Worldwide’s Remote Amperage Control provides the ideal handheld solution for applications where a foot pedal is not comfortable or practical.

Perfect for aerospace or tube welding, where you may need fine control for thin-wall and tight-tolerance welds. Ideal for automotive restoration, where a consistent, steady arc is required on thin-gauge steel and stainless to prevent burn-through. They're also ideal for pipe or vessel fabrication, where you may need to adjust heat seamlessly during long, continuous TIG runs.

Read on for a rundown on their variety of options and see which best fits your needs!

STEADY-GRIP

• Ergonomic pistol style grip allows for easy one-handed operation
• ON/OFF switch with full-range amperage control
• Use with or without the removable handle for even more flexibility!

STEADY-GRIP Foot Pedal

• 3 options for amperage control: foot pedal, pistol-grip, and amp-track slider
• Rapid mode switching and continuous operation helps with productivity when it comes to complicated welds
  
• ​Compatible with any machine, with various cable length options
  
• Ergonomic design is great for beating fatigue with detailed, intricate work or large-scale industrial projects

rotary

• Tank track style control dial delivers smooth, incremental tweaks (ON/OFF switch,  full- amperage control, and gas solenoid activation)
• Available with hook & loop straps OR built-in mounting options to suit any torch setup
• Includes convenient finger guards for either right or left handed use
• Ergonomic built-in strain relief

Wheel

• Spring-loaded thumb wheel returns automatically to OFF when released
• Perfect for tack welding, short or long welds, and bumping technique
• Simple, intuitive design can be positioned closer to torch head if desired
• Available with hook & loop straps to fit any torch set-up 

Linear

• Linear slide actuator gives you direct, tactile feedback with a failsafe to prevent the control cord from being pulled out or damaged
• Includes both ON/OFF switch and full-range remote current output control.
• Available with hook & loop straps OR built-in mounting options to suit any torch setup

CK Worldwide designs its remote amperage controls for plug-and-play integration with most major power sources. All models come in various connector types (5-pin, 6-pin, etc.) and cable lengths—14 ft, 26.5 ft, or 53 ft to suit machines from Lincoln Electric, Miller Electric, CK, and more!

SO how do you choose?

Whether you're looking for continuous modulation or spot adjustments, the best choice is the one that allows you to TIG weld comfortably and naturally, but here are a few other things to consider: 

• Workspace Constraints: Opt for the compact rotary or linear slide where hand clearance is limited.
• Control Needs: Select a simple ON/OFF switch for basic on/off workflows or go full-range with pistol-grip or wheel controls for advanced amperage dialing.
