Wireless Interface Control for Engine Drives

Wireless Interface Control is available as an option for Miller Electric Mfg. LLC (Appleton, WI) Trailblazer and Big Blue welder/generators. Operators can remotely adjust amperage and voltage, customize welding programs, turn the welder/generator on and off, select processes, and finetune the welding arc to tailor arc responsiveness to better handle changing joint conditions from the palm of their hand.

“When operators have total control over their machine from where they work, they can improve productivity and reduce downtime,” says Jake Zwayer, product manager, engine drives, Miller. “It also extends time between fill ups and maintenance intervals and eliminates the need to climb into the truck to make adjustments. Wireless Interface Control helps operators redefine where they work and elevate their performance.”

Benefits and capabilities include:

• Remote process and parameter changes. Full front panel access from wherever operators are working on the jobsite, so they don’t have to go back to the welder/generator to turn it on or off, change welding processes or adjust parameters.
• Programmable settings. Operators can save up to four weld programs and easily select any program with the push of a button, saving time and effort and adding consistency to setup between welds.
• Fuel savings. It’s time-consuming for operators to walk back to their welder/generator to turn it off when they’re working far from the machine, so it often ends up running all day. With Wireless Interface Control, users can save fuel by turning off their machine.
• Lower maintenance costs. The ability to easily turn the welder/generator off reduces unnecessary engine hours and maintenance costs.
• Jobsite safety. Remote access to the front panel eliminates the need to walk back to or climb into the truck to access the machine’s front panel, reducing the risk of encountering jobsite hazards.
