301619 - Miller ArcReach 16 Voltage Sensing Wire Feeder

Industrial Control Without the Cords

The Miller ArcReach 16 Wire Feeder (301619) represents a significant leap in welding jobsite productivity and safety. Designed for heavy industrial applications such as shipbuilding, construction, and structural steel fabrication, this feeder utilizes Miller's proprietary ArcReach technology. This system allows the wire feeder to communicate with compatible Miller power sources using the existing weld cables, eliminating the need for separate control cords. This not only reduces cable clutter and maintenance costs but also allows operators to adjust voltage and wire feed speed right at the weld joint, even hundreds of feet away from the power source.

Precision and Power

Engineered for consistency, the ArcReach 16 features a heavy-duty drive motor equipped with tachometer control. This ensures that wire feed speed remains accurate from the start of the weld to the finish, regardless of cable length or orientation. The unit supports a wide range of wire diameters, from 0.023-inch solid wire up to 3/32-inch flux-cored wire, and can accommodate spools up to 60 pounds, minimizing downtime for changeovers. With a rated output of 400 Amps at 100% duty cycle using CO2 gas, it is built to withstand continuous industrial use.

Advanced Technology for Quality Welds

Beyond simple remote control, the ArcReach 16 includes Cable Length Compensation (CLC) and Adjust While Welding (AWW) capabilities. CLC automatically adjusts the voltage to compensate for voltage drop across long cable runs, ensuring the operator gets exactly the voltage they set. AWW allows for parameter adjustments while the arc is on, providing ultimate control over the puddle. Additionally, the Auto-Process Select feature detects the polarity and automatically switches the power source to the correct mode, reducing the risk of weld defects caused by incorrect settings.
