The new foot pedal provides such independent action distinction of precisely where the arc start switch actu- ates without over-riding minimum control pedal posi- tion, and precisely where the control pedal has been returned to minimum position without inadvertently de- actuating the arc start switch. The result is repeatable consistency in TIG weld starting and crater-fill for man- ual process control.

Using this new foot pedal with the Precision TIG’s new presettable Minimum Output level, in addition to the presettable Maximum Output level, further enhances the starting and crater level consistency as well as the control resolution of the manually controlled foot pedal.
