OVERVIEW

Miller ArcReach SuitCase 8 Wire Feeder Package

The Miller ArcReach SuitCase 8 (951727) is a premier portable wire feeding solution designed for the most demanding industrial environments. This package comes complete with a Bernard S-Gun, offering a ready-to-weld solution for shipbuilding, construction, and heavy manufacturing. The defining feature of this system is Miller's ArcReach® technology, which allows weld operators to adjust voltage and wire feed speed directly at the feeder without the need for a control cord. This capability significantly improves productivity by eliminating the need to walk back to the power source to make parameter changes, reducing downtime and operator fatigue.

Advanced Performance Technologies

Beyond remote control, the SuitCase 8 is engineered for precision. It features Cable Length Compensation (CLC™), which automatically adjusts the output voltage to account for the voltage drop that occurs over long cable runs. This ensures that the voltage set by the operator is exactly what is delivered to the arc, even hundreds of feet away. The unit is powered by a heavy-duty drive motor equipped with tachometer control, providing accurate and consistent wire feed speed from the start of the weld to the finish, regardless of cable orientation or length.

Extreme Durability and Reliability

Built to withstand harsh jobsite conditions, the SuitCase 8 is housed in an impact-resistant, flame-retardant case that protects internal components from moisture, dust, and other contaminants. The main printed circuit board is potted and trayed, offering full-trigger isolation and exceptional resistance to vibration and corrosion. The feeder also includes a double-filtered gas valve to prevent dirt from clogging the system and affecting gas flow. With its compact size designed for 8-inch spools, the SuitCase 8 is highly portable, featuring built-in slide rails that allow it to be dragged into position easily.

User-Friendly Design

The interface is designed for clarity and ease of use. Digital meters utilizing SunVision™ technology allow operators to read voltage and wire feed speed clearly, even in direct sunlight. The front panel provides easy access to trigger hold, wire jog, and gas purge functions. Additionally, the ultra-low drag inlet guide pins and scaled wire pressure knob make loading wire and setting tension simple and repeatable, ensuring optimal feeding performance for both small and large diameter wires.

FAQ

ArcReach allows the operator to adjust voltage and wire feed speed remotely at the feeder without needing a separate control cord, using the weld cables for communication.

The SuitCase 8 is designed to hold 8-inch (203 mm) wire spools. For 12-inch spools, the SuitCase 12 model is required.

Yes, this package (951727) includes a Bernard S-Gun (250 A) along with the wire feeder.

CLC is a feature that automatically adjusts the power source output to compensate for voltage drop across long weld cables, ensuring the voltage at the arc matches the set voltage.

Yes, the feeder will operate as a standard voltage-sensing feeder with other power sources, but the remote control functionality will not be active.

The feeder operates on an open-circuit voltage of 14 to 48 VDC and up to 110 VDC max OCV, powered directly by the arc voltage.

While not submersible, the case is highly durable, impact-resistant, and designed to protect internal components from moisture, dust, and dirt common in outdoor environments.

The package includes .045 - 1/16 inch reversible dual VK drive rolls.
