301390 - Miller ArcReach Induction Heater System

Advanced Induction Heating for the Jobsite

The Miller ArcReach Heater (301390) represents a significant leap forward in jobsite preheating and bake-out capabilities. Designed specifically for the rigors of field welding applications, this air-cooled induction heating system allows welders to bring sophisticated heating technology directly to the weld joint without the logistical nightmare of dedicated high-voltage power drops. By utilizing compatible ArcReach welding power sources, this unit can operate up to 200 feet away from the power supply, using standard weld cables to transmit both power and control data. This eliminates the need for extra control cables, reducing clutter and setup time significantly.

Precision and Quality Control

In industries like shipbuilding, pipe fabrication, and structural welding, adhering to strict temperature parameters is critical. The ArcReach Heater takes the guesswork out of the equation with its Integrated Temperature Recording. The system automatically documents the joint temperature throughout the heating cycle, ensuring compliance with welding procedure specifications (WPS). This data can be easily exported to create temperature charts, providing irrefutable proof of quality for inspectors and quality control managers. With a maximum temperature capability of 600°F (315°C), it covers the vast majority of preheat and hydrogen bake-out requirements.

Safety and Efficiency

Traditional heating methods, such as open-flame rosebuds or resistance heating mats, come with inherent safety risks and efficiency drawbacks. Open flames introduce fire hazards and inconsistent heating, while resistance mats are slow to set up and prone to failure. The Miller induction system induces heat directly within the workpiece, resulting in a uniform heat zone that reaches temperature quickly. This method is not only safer for the operator but also dramatically lowers heating expenses by reducing fuel costs and labor hours. The unit itself is highly portable, weighing only 43 pounds, and features an ergonomic handle and strap, making it easy to move around complex job sites like refineries or power plants.

Versatile Tooling Options

The system is designed for flexibility. It is compatible with a choice of heating tools, including flexible Air-Cooled Cables for odd geometries and plate work, or the Air-Cooled Quick Wrap for rapid setup on pipes up to 10 inches in diameter. This versatility ensures that whether you are welding flat plate or complex pipe spools, the ArcReach Heater can adapt to the specific geometry of your workpiece.
