FOOT OPERATED ROCKER ARM 4642

Production Engineering provides only the best in Foot Operate Rocker Arms, and the Rocker Arm 4642 is no exception. The 4642 is a versatile 20 KVA AC Foot-Operated Rocker-Arm Type Spot Welder with TE101 Weld Control. There is also a parts breakdown and an operator manual so you can have a solid understanding of your new welder. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

  • TE101 Control, mounted on the front of the machine, allows operator to view data while welding.
  • UNITROL SOFT TOUCH Pinch Point Safety System option
  • Air Pressure Gauge, Regulator Knob, and Speed Controls are mounted at the top of the machine for easy monitoring and adjustment.
  • Water-cooled transformer, arms and electrodes. Epoxy resin coated transformer for maximum protection.
  • Adjustable electrode stroke enables access to a greater range of parts.
  • Chromium-copper electrode holders are designed for long life and heavy-duty service. May be mounted at 12° and 90° positions in the arm. Optional Universal-Style arms are available exclusively from WSI for 1” diameter electrode holders, and for mounting the electrode holders at 30° and 90°.
  • Adjustable throat depth enables maximum flexibility.
  • Ergonomic frame for long term operation in production environments.
  • WSI Exclusive Standard Low-Profile Lower Holder enables accessing parts as small as 3” diameter.
  • Single Foot Pedal (standard).
    Additional foot pedal (optional part #73070) on base allows mounting both foot pedals on a common base.

  • Arm depth is adjustable by up to 12.6” (320mm) depending on your working requirements.
  • Adjustable Drop Arm Assembly, Option 6030, is available on all models. Note that larger arm gap reduces available welding current. The greater the spacing between the arms, the lower the welding current available at the electrodes.
