Miller® ArcReach® SuitCase® 8 Wire Feeder ONLY 301457
The Miller® SuitCase® ArcReach® 8 Wire Feeder ONLY is a voltage sensing MIG wire feeder that has full remote voltage and amperage control without the use of a remote control cable. The secret to this technology is built-in circuitry in both the 8VS ArcReach feeder and Miller ArcReach welder that passes remote control signals through the welding leads, eliminating the need for costly remote control cables. ArcReach remote control distance is limited only by the length of your welding cable leads. ArcReach allows your MIG or Flux-Cored welding operation to take place further away from the welding power source and reduces downtime and costs by giving the operator full remote voltage AND amperage control capabilities at the site of the weld without using expensive remote control cables. The Suitcase X-TREME 8VS ArcReach MUST be paired with a Miller ArcReach welder to get the full benefits of this feature.
(NOTE: The ArcReach 8VS wire feeder CAN be used with non-ArcReach welders. However, you WILL NOT have remote voltage control at the feeder)The Suitcase X-TREME 8VS ArcReach wire feeder has up to a 330 amp welding capacity. It is extremely rugged and is designed to fit through small spaces, like portholes, where full size feeders can't go. It features an industrial wire feed speed control, wire speed dual schedule and improved wire delivery system. Consistent wire feed speeds and tough polypropylene shell make the SuitCase X-TREME™ 8VS the rugged, reliable choice.

Features:
Full Remote voltage and amperage control of the welding power source without a cord - ArcReach™ technology uses the existing weld cable to communicate welding control information between the feeder and power source. This technology eliminates the need for control cords, and their associated problems and costs.
Small size (H: 12.75 in. (324 mm) X W: 7.25 in. (184 mm) X D: 18 in. (457 mm) makes the 8VS extremely portable. Feeder fits through small spaces, like porholes, where full size feeders can't go.
Portable wire feeding at its best. The SuitCase X-TREME 8VS provides wire feed speed that is accurate and consistent from the start of the weld to the finish, and from one weld to the next. Consistent wire feed speed is very important with large-diameter cored wire, because small changes in wire feed speed make large changes in deposition rates.
Wire delivery system bends wire over a large radius and applies just the right amount of force to ensure consistent feeding.
Wire speed dual schedule reduces wire speed to 87.5 percent of standard speed. Requires a dual schedule gun or dual schedule switch (sold separately).
Electronic wire feed speed control with integrated tachometer ensures wire feed speed accuracy that rivals the best bench top feeders.
Polypropylene case with built-in slide rails and the ability to open the door to change wire with feeder in vertical position.
Trigger hold, wire jog, and gas purge are all located on front panel.
Digital meters with SunVision™ technology display voltage and wire speed, and also amperage if desired. Meters can be seen clearly even in direct sunlight.
Wider voltage range for small and large wires with no contactor chatter or arc outages.
Double-filtered gas valve helps keep dirt from clogging and affecting gas flow.
Excellent starts and improved superior arc performance for all types and sizes of wires whether using CV or CC power supply.
Potted and trayed main printed circuit board for the harshest environments adds exceptional reliability. Board has full-trigger isolation so a shorted gun trigger will not affect feeder operation.
