OVERVIEW

See Clearly and Breathe Safely with Miller Automation

Take the hassle out of fume extraction with the Miller Hood Light with Arc Sensor, specifically designed for your FILTAIR SWX system. As a welder, your focus should be on the puddle, not on managing your safety equipment. This innovative kit (SKU: 300763) upgrades your stationary extraction arm to think for itself. The moment you strike an arc, the built-in sensor detects the flash and automatically kicks your fume extractor into high gear. No more walking over to a wall switch or reaching for a control panel with gloved hands—just strike and weld.

Beyond the convenience of automation, this kit solves one of the biggest annoyances in the shop: shadows. When you position a fume extraction hood close to your work, it often blocks the overhead lights, leaving your weld zone in the dark. The Miller 300763 features a powerful light integrated right into the hood. It floods your workspace with bright, clear illumination, helping you track your joint and lay down perfect beads without straining your eyes. Better visibility means fewer mistakes and higher quality welds.

This accessory is built with the durability you expect from Miller Electric. It is designed to handle the heat and grime of daily fabrication work. It fits perfectly into the hoods of Miller FILTAIR SWX-D and SWX-S models, making it a seamless addition to your existing setup. Whether you are running a high-production manufacturing line or a custom fab shop, this light and sensor combo improves your workflow. It ensures you are always protected from fumes without you having to think about it, and it gives you the light you need to do your best work.

Key Benefits for the Welder:

  • Hands-Free Safety: The extractor turns on exactly when you need it, protecting your lungs instantly.
  • Precision Lighting: Eliminates shadows caused by the extraction arm, giving you a clear view of the arc and puddle.
  • Energy Savings: Your shop saves money because the machine only runs when you are actually welding.
  • Easy Upgrade: Designed to be installed quickly into your existing Miller equipment.

FAQ

The Miller 300763 is compatible ONLY with Miller FILTAIR SWX-D (Disposable Filter) and SWX-S (Self-Cleaning) stationary fume extraction systems.

The sensor detects the intense light generated by a welding arc. When the arc is struck, it sends a signal to the fume extractor to automatically turn on, ensuring immediate fume capture.

Yes, this is a complete hood light kit that includes the lighting element and the integrated arc sensor assembly.

No, this specific kit is designed for the SWX series, which are wall or column-mounted stationary systems. It is not intended for mobile FILTAIR units.

The kit is designed for field installation. It mounts inside the extraction arm hood and connects to the system's control circuit. Basic tools and following the included instructions are required.

The light operation typically depends on how it is wired into the control, but its primary purpose is to illuminate the zone during operation. The sensor controls the fan motor.

It eliminates the need for the operator to manually turn the extractor on and off, ensuring safety compliance and saving energy by only running the fan when welding is occurring.

Yes, the optical arc sensor is sensitive enough to detect the arc from TIG, MIG, and Stick welding processes.
