ArcReach® Technology
ArcReach technology uses existing weld cables to communicate process adjustment commands back to the engine-driven welder. With an ArcReach system, amperage & voltage are conveniently located at the operator's fingertips - not back at the power source.   Learn More
Dynamic DIG™
Unlike conventional DIG that provides a preset amount of short-clearing current, Miller’s proprietary Dynamic DIG works on a time-based algorithm that automatically adjusts the amount of current required to clear a short. What does this mean? A smoother more consistent arc that can be tailored to match application, material, fit-up, and welder technique.   Learn More
Tier 4 Final Compliant Diesel Engine
The cleanest/greenest power available. Utilizes Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) technology to keep the air clean with NO exhaust aftertreatment maintenance.
Other Standard Features
Remote oil drain to prevent spills and make servicing easy, digital preset weld meters, automatic idle, and 120V block heater for cold environments.
Industrial USB Port
Quickly upload the latest software and download machine log files to retrieve in-depth information such as diagnostics and machine statistics.   Learn More
Low OCV Stick (VRD)
The Low OCV stick welding function is a simple design that reduces the open-circuit voltage to 15 volts when the welding power source is not in use without compromising arc starts. This feature is now built into the Big Blue 500 Pro for increased operator safety.
Increased Productivity & Safety
More arc-on time, and reduced exposure to slip, trip, and fall hazards can be realized using Wireless Interface Control or ArcReach because less time is spent going back to the welding power supply to make adjustments.
Electronic Engine Display
Electronic engine display simultaneously displays fuel level, engine hours, coolant temperature, oil pressure, battery volts, and engine RPMs. Also tracks oil change intervals and displays engine diagnostics for quick and easy servicing.
Thermal Overload Protection
Thermal overload protection prevents machine damage if the duty cycle is exceeded or airflow is blocked.
ArcReach Heater Compatibility
Take charge of your field preheat and bakeout applications up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit (315°C). This system uses induction heating to generate heat in workpieces, so welders can do their own preheating quickly and safely. A part of the ArcReach technology platform, the ArcReach Heater is an accessory for select ArcReach welding power sources.   Learn More
