CK1706-20 - Weld Current Sensor for Fume Extraction

Automate Your Safety with the WCS Sensor

Forget about walking over to turn your fume extractor on and off every time you start a new joint. The WCS Welding Cable Sensor takes the hassle out of shop safety by automating your fume extraction system. Designed to clip easily onto your welding ground cable, this smart sensor detects when you strike an arc and automatically powers up your ventilation equipment. It’s like having an extra set of hands in the shop that ensures your air remains clean without you having to think about it.

Seamless Operation
We all know the drill: you get set up in position, drop your hood, and realize you forgot to turn on the fan. With the WCS sensor, that annoyance is a thing of the past. As soon as current flows through your cable, your extractor kicks in. When you stop welding, it shuts down (often after a short delay to clear remaining fumes), saving you money on electricity and reducing the constant background noise in your shop. It also helps extend the life of your expensive filters by ensuring they aren't running needlessly while you are grinding, fitting, or taking a break.

Universal Compatibility
Whether you are running a small TIG setup or a heavy-duty MIG station, the WCS sensor works with virtually any welding machine. Because it uses inductive technology, it doesn't need to cut into your cables or mess with your settings. It simply senses the magnetic field around the cable. This makes it incredibly safe and easy to install—usually taking just a few minutes to route the cable and clamp the sensor in place. Upgrade your welding station with this simple yet effective tool and focus on your beads, not the switch.
