Wire Feeders
Heavy industrial
SuitCase® X-TREME 8VS and 12VS See literature M/6.42
Use with CC (except 12RC model) and CV,
DC power sources.
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.

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.
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.

No time-consuming trips to the power source.
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.
Improve Weld Quality
Reduces costly “work arounds”.
Improve Worker Safety
Reduces operator hazards and injuries.
Maximize Efficiency
Reduces costly cord set up, maintenance
and repair.
