K857-1 - Lincoln Electric K857-1 Remote Output Control, 100 ft Cable, 6-Pin Connector

Precise Remote Welding Control for Industrial Applications

The Lincoln Electric K857-1 Remote Output Control is an essential accessory for professional welders requiring mobility and precision on large-scale job sites. Designed to bridge the gap between the operator and the power source, this unit provides reliable remote current control up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) away from the machine. It is specifically engineered to replicate the full dial range of the welder's onboard controls, ensuring that operators do not sacrifice precision for convenience.

Constructed for durability, the K857-1 features a rugged control box that can withstand the rigors of heavy industrial environments, including construction zones, shipyards, and fabrication shops. The unit comes pre-assembled with a heavy-duty cable and a 6-pin Amphenol (MS-Type) connector, making it immediately ready for connection to compatible Lincoln Electric power sources. This plug-and-play capability reduces setup time and ensures a secure, interference-free signal transmission for stable arc performance.

By allowing adjustments to be made directly at the arc zone, this remote control significantly enhances productivity and weld quality. Operators can fine-tune amperage or voltage without traversing hazardous or expansive work areas to reach the power source. This not only saves valuable labor time but also reduces fatigue and improves safety compliance by minimizing unnecessary movement across the site. Whether for Stick, TIG, or Flux-Cored applications, the K857-1 delivers the control needed for superior results.

Key Technical Benefits

The unit's large control knob is designed for easy manipulation, even while wearing heavy welding gloves. The 6-pin configuration is a standard across many Lincoln industrial machines, ensuring broad compatibility. For applications requiring extended reach beyond standard cable lengths, this 100-foot solution offers the flexibility required for vertical construction and pipeline work.
