0558102817 - ESAB Rebel TIG Foot Pedal Control 15ft 8-Pin

Professional Remote Amperage Control

The ESAB 0558102817 Foot Control is the OEM remote amperage device engineered for the ESAB Rebel series of multi-process welders. For professional TIG applications, particularly AC TIG on aluminum with the EMP 205ic, precise heat control is non-negotiable. This foot control provides the operator with hands-free actuation of the contactor and fine-tuned regulation of the welding current, enabling superior puddle control from arc initiation to crater fill.

Technically, the unit utilizes a high-quality potentiometer to send a reference signal back to the power source via an 8-pin Amphenol-style connector. The 15-foot cable assembly is shielded to prevent high-frequency interference, ensuring stable communication with the welder even in electrically noisy industrial environments. The mechanical design includes a low-profile form factor that reduces ankle strain during long welding shifts, and the return spring tension is calibrated to provide tactile resistance without causing fatigue.

This accessory is essential for fabricators utilizing the Lift TIG or HF TIG capabilities of their Rebel machines. By offloading the amperage control to the foot, the operator's hands are free to focus solely on torch manipulation and filler metal addition. This results in cleaner welds, reduced heat affected zones (HAZ), and higher overall productivity. It is fully compatible with the Rebel EMP 215ic, EMP 235ic, and the EMP 205ic AC/DC systems.
