The Miller ArcReach 16 Wire Feeder (SKU: 301664) represents a significant advancement in industrial welding efficiency. Designed for heavy manufacturing, shipbuilding, and construction applications, this unit leverages Miller's proprietary ArcReach technology to communicate with compatible power sources directly through the welding leads. This eliminates the need for separate control cables, which are often the point of failure in harsh environments. By removing the control cord, operators can set voltage and wire feed speed remotely at the feeder, ensuring that parameters are optimized without traversing the jobsite back to the power source.
This specific configuration includes a preassembled shop cart designed for low-clearance mobility. The cart features a removable "T" handle that doubles as a cable rack, making it easy to transport the feeder and associated cabling across shop floors and under obstructions like I-beams. The feeder itself is built to withstand rigorous use, featuring an IP23 rating for protection against solid objects and water spray, as well as a heavy-duty drive motor with tachometer control for precise wire delivery.
Technologically, the ArcReach 16 is equipped with Cable Length Compensation (CLC), which automatically adjusts the voltage to account for voltage drop over long cable runs, ensuring the operator gets exactly the voltage they set. Additionally, the Auto-Process Select feature detects the polarity applied to the weld accessory and switches the power source to the correct process automatically, reducing the risk of procedural errors. With a welding capacity of up to 500 amps and a gouging capacity of 600 amps, this feeder is a versatile powerhouse for demanding fabrication tasks.
