300935002 - Miller FieldPro Smart Feeder with ArcReach and Flow Meter

Advanced Remote Welding Control with ArcReach Technology

The Miller ArcReach Smart Feeder (300935002) represents a significant leap in field welding technology, specifically designed to address the rigorous demands of pipe welding, shipbuilding, and heavy construction. This unit leverages Miller's proprietary ArcReach technology, which allows the feeder to communicate with a compatible power source—such as the PipeWorx 350 FieldPro—directly through the weld leads. This eliminates the need for fragile and cumbersome control cables, allowing operators to adjust voltage, wire feed speed, and process selection up to 200 feet away from the power source. By removing the control cord, the system reduces potential points of failure and simplifies cable management in complex job sites.

RMD and Pulsed MIG Capabilities

Unlike standard voltage-sensing feeders, the FieldPro Smart Feeder delivers advanced process capabilities including Regulated Metal Deposition (RMD) and Pulsed MIG. These synergic processes are critical for modern industrial applications, particularly when welding stainless steel or chromoly pipe. The RMD process provides a calm, stable arc that bridges gaps easily and helps eliminate the need for backing gas in certain applications, significantly reducing setup time and consumable costs. The Pulsed MIG capability offers lower heat input and better puddle control, reducing the risk of weld failures and rework. The feeder's internal computer automatically shifts all controls from the power source to the feeder once connected, ensuring the operator has full authority over the arc at the weld joint.

Rugged Construction and Precision Monitoring

Built to withstand the harshest industrial environments, the Smart Feeder is housed in an impact-resistant, flame-retardant polypropylene case. It features a potted and trayed circuit board design to protect sensitive electronics from dust, moisture, and vibration. A key feature of this model is the integrated Gas Flow Meter, which provides visual confirmation of shielding gas flow right at the feeder, ensuring weld quality is maintained even in drafty field conditions. Additionally, the unit is equipped with SunVision technology, a high-visibility display that remains readable even in direct sunlight, providing real-time feedback on amperage, voltage, and wire speed. With a wire feed speed range of 50 to 500 ipm and compatibility with wire diameters from .023 inch to 5/64 inch, this feeder offers benchtop-level precision in a portable, field-ready package.
