Exclusive Miller®technology uses the weld cables to
communicate changes in voltage settings. With an
ArcReach system, voltage and wire-feed-speed controls
are conveniently located at the operator’s fingertips —
right at the point of use — not back at the power source.
By eliminating control cables to the feeder, cabling is
streamlined and operators work at maximum efficiency.

SuitCase

12RC See literature WFM/60.0 UK
Standard remote voltage control with a control cord. For applications where the feeder is within
30.5 meters of the power source and control cords are acceptable.
SuitCase

X-TREME

8VS and 12VS See literature M/6.42
Voltage-sensing feeders designed to run off of arc voltage from almost any welding power
source. 8VS model is sized for a 203 mm spool of wire, can be carried to remote welding sites
and fits through a 356 mm manhole/manway. 12VS model is sized for an 203 or 305 mm spool
of wire. 305 mm spools are the most common in structural steel and fabrication.

8 and 12 See literature M/6.55
Remote control of the power source without a cord. With a SuitCase ArcReach
feeder and ArcReach power source you can change output voltage at the feeder, and save a trip
to the power supply. No extra control cable to purchase, maintain, string or unstring — saving time
and money.
