301591 - Miller ArcReach Induction Heating System CE

Advanced Field Induction Heating Technology

The Miller ArcReach Heater (SKU: 301591) represents a significant leap forward in on-site thermal processing for welding applications. Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of the petrochemical, power generation, and pipeline industries, this unit leverages Miller's proprietary ArcReach technology to power induction heating tools directly from compatible welding power sources (such as the XMT 350 FieldPro). This innovation eliminates the need for dedicated heating power supplies, large generators, and the complex web of high-voltage cabling typically associated with resistance or traditional induction heating.

This specific model carries the CE mark, ensuring it meets the stringent health, safety, and environmental protection standards required for operation within the European Economic Area and other regions adhering to these directives. The system utilizes air-cooled cables or blankets to deliver heat into the workpiece via magnetic induction. This method is vastly superior to conductive heating or open flame methods in terms of efficiency and uniformity. By inducing eddy currents within the metal itself, the part generates its own heat, ensuring deep, even saturation without the surface overheating risks associated with torches.

Operational efficiency is maximized through the elimination of control cables. The ArcReach Heater communicates with the power source over the standard welding cables, allowing for remote parameter control and monitoring. This reduces setup time significantly and removes trip hazards from the job site. The unit is capable of reaching temperatures up to 600°F (315°C), making it ideal for preheating to prevent hydrogen cracking and for hydrogen bake-out post-weld. It also features built-in data logging capabilities, allowing quality control officers to download temperature charts and verify that welding procedures were strictly followed.

Technical Specifications & Integration

The device is engineered to be lightweight and portable, allowing a single operator to position it near the weld joint while the power source remains hundreds of feet away. It operates on the open circuit voltage (50-70 V) provided by the welding power source, converting it into the high-frequency current required for induction. This seamless integration streamlines fleet management, as the same power sources used for welding can now double as heating stations.
